Weekly Maintenance for your Home

April – Week 16

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.

Landscaping

• Inspect grading of property around house to keep water away from foundation: raise low flower beds; divert run off from hills; improve drainage for window wells that do not drain.
• Insure water from downspouts does not pool near the foundation wall.
