There are several important maintenance items on a #house that as a #homeowner you may forget to check. Here are just a couple to schedule this #week for a quick check-up.
#Dryer vents: It’s important to regularly clean out your dryer vents to prevent a buildup of lint, which can become a fire hazard.
#Waterheater Check your water heater regularly for leaks, rust, and other damage. It’s also important to flush the tank to remove sediment buildup, which can affect efficiency and lifespan.
#Attic insulation: Adequate attic insulation helps keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Check to ensure that the insulation is still in good condition and hasn’t become compressed or damaged.
#Foundation The foundation is a critical component of your home’s structure. Look for signs of cracks, water damage, or settling, and address any issues promptly.
#Chimney If you have a fireplace, it’s important to have your chimney cleaned and inspected annually to prevent chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Sump pump: If you have #basement, make sure your sump pump is working properly to prevent flooding.
#Air ducts: Dirty air ducts can negatively impact your indoor air quality and reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system. Have them cleaned regularly.
#Roof Your roof is your first line of defense against the elements. Regularly check for damage, leaks, and other issues that could compromise its integrity.
#Electrical system: Have a licensed electrician inspect your electrical system periodically to ensure it is safe and up to code.
#pestcontrol Keep an eye out for signs of pest infestation, such as droppings or damage to wood or wiring. Address any infestations promptly to prevent further damage.
