5 Fall Home Maintenance Tips

Before cooler weather arrives, take a few minutes to make sure your home is ready for fall and winter.

A little preventative maintenance now can help prevent costly water damage,
mold, and other problems later.

1.CHECK YOUR ROOF & GUTTERS

Inspect your roof for missing or damaged shingles, and clear leaves and debris from your gutters and downspouts. Make sure water is flowing away from your home and foundation.

2.INSPECT WINDOWS & DOORS

Check seals around windows and doors for cracks, gaps, or signs of moisture. Properly sealed openings can help keep out rain, wind, and unwanted moisture.

3.CHECK YOUR HVAC SYSTEM

Have your heating system inspected before you need it, replace your air filter, and make sure vents and registers aren’t blocked. Catching a problem early can help prevent an unexpected breakdown.

4.LOOK FOR LEAKS & WATER DAMAGE

Check under sinks, around appliances, in crawl spaces, and near your water heater for leaks, dampness, staining, or musty odors. Small signs of moisture can become much bigger problems if they’re ignored.

5.PREPARE FOR FALL & WINTER WEATHER

Trim branches away from your roof and home, secure outdoor items, and make sure your home is prepared for heavy rain, strong winds, and colder temperatures.

A few simple checks now can help protect your home throughout the season.
