Weekly Maintenance for your Home

April – Week 14

Just like preventative maintenance on your car, if you take care of a few small items around the house every week, you can avoid many emergency breakdowns and expensive repairs.

Eavestroughs & Downspouts

• Check for secure attachment to house, loose joints.
• Clear obstructions.
• Assure water discharges away from foundation or into a drywell.

Caulking

• Check all outdoor caulking: windows, doors, other penetrations.

Filters

• Range hood — clean if necessary.
