Seasonal Spring Property Maintenance

It’s that time of year of transitioning from the colder hibernation months of winter to outdoor activities, including seasonal spring property maintenance to prepare for the warmer weather ahead.

Here is a checklist of thing to do to keep your property in the best possible shape:

• Clean your gutters. Improper drainage can cause water damage to your home. Check for loose and leaky gutters and ensure your downspouts are away from your home’s foundation.
• Inspect the roof. Visually inspect your roof by looking for warping, cracking or loose shingles/tiles. Examine the flashing around chimneys, skylights and vents.
• Check seals. Cold weather can cause seals around doors and windows to loosen, harden or crack. Inspect all seals inside and out and repair damage as needed.
• Service your home’s cooling system. Don’t get caught in the heat without air conditioning. Call your local professional to pop by and service your cooling unit to keep it up running efficiently.
• Vacuum behind refrigerator. One of the easiest ways to improve the performance of your refrigerator is to gently vacuum behind it. Doing this will ensure that enough air circulation and the coils are not running too hot.
• Clean your dryer vent. Dryer vents are the leading cause of fires. You’d be surprised the amount of lint build up that can gather inside a dryer vent.

Most of all it’s time to enjoy the days getting longer as we all get caught up with seasonal spring property maintenance activities and household chores.
