Back in the Spring, we discussed the importance of keeping your home in shape to keep it running at its best. With Summer just around the corner, we will have more time to do the things that we enjoy. I thought now would be a good time to share the Summer to-do list to help keep you on track with minimal stress and more time to enjoy the Summer months ahead. You know what they say "An ounce of prevention..."
- If applicable have your septic tank system inspected to ensure it's in good working order.
- Have your lateral sewer lines inspected and cleared.
- Inspect your sidewalks, driveways, patios, bricks and other concrete surfaces for cracks. Repair as needed.
- Inspect decks, steps and wooden structures for rot and other damage. Repair as soon as possible to avoid further damage.
- Power wash siding, decks and driveway.
- Weatherproof all wooden surfaces if it's been two year or more since you last did it.
- Check the eaves around your homes roof, chimney, caps, etc.. remove any nests and repair and replace any damaged areas.
- Change and clean HVAC filters.
- Remove hair from drains in tubs, sinks and showers.
- Examine electrical cords for wear.
- Inspect washer hoses and dryer vent system.
- Finally, test all safety equipment: smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers.
You did it, you have completed your to-do list and all systems are go!
Why not head out and enjoy a relaxing day on the shore or poolside to unwind - Go ahead.....
You deserve it!
Happy Summer
