Fall is coming in hot, or cold, we should say! With the cooler weather almost here, now is the perfect time to do maintenance around your property. Disasters always strike at the worst time, and our job is to help you lessen the disasters that could occur. Below, we will discuss some maintenance tips to ensure your property is ready for the cooler weather.
Check Your Roof and Gutters
Before the weather gets colder, it is best to check your roof and gutters. If you need any repairs, you can have them completed before the snow and ice hits! Check your gutters for any debris or damages. If there is debris, it should be removed, as debris can cause a backup of water, which could leak into your home. If your gutters have become separated from your roof, there is a possibility of water damages.
Your roof should be checked for damaged or missing shingles. It is also a good idea to check the structure of your roof, as it will be bearing the brunt of ice and snow soon, both of which are heavy.
Check Your Basement and Attic
Attics and basements are not checked as often as they should be. Check your attic for any leaks or damages. A small leak can turn into water damages and possible mold growth. If you have any holes, it is the perfect spot for rodents to enter your home.
Check Fire Alarms
Fire alarms are one of the most essential things in your home. Fire alarms can save your life in the event of a fire on your property. Changing the batteries and testing your fire alarms should be done at the start of each season.
Check Your Pipes
If you have outdoor pipes that are exposed, now is the time to wrap them. You never want to have exposed pipes during the colder months. A frozen pipe can cause water damages and become quite costly.
