Spring is a great time of year! Now that winter has faded it is the perfect time to head outdoors. It is also a good time to make sure your house is ready for Spring & Summer.
Here are some spring maintenance tips for your home.
- Check your outside faucets for freeze damage
- Visually inspect your roof from the ground. The winter can be rough on roofs and if you see any signs of buckling or cracks you might want to get your roof looked at before the summer heat.
- Check your irrigation system to make sure that all the sprinkler heads are working and covering your yard properly. Also make sure the sprinkler heads are not spraying water on to the walls of your house.
- Clean gutters and downspouts to keep debris from accumulating which can lead to roof damage.
- Check for low areas in your yard or around your foundation. You want to make sure that water is draining away from your foundation. If you find any low spots fill these areas with compact soil to prevent yard flooding when the spring rains hit.
- Inspect all doors and windows for leaks or drafts. If you find some seal them.
- Also now is a good time to change you A/C filter. You should be changing your filter every two months.
