YOUR Home INSPECTOR’S QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE TIPS!
FALL E D I T I O N
We’re here to help you keep your home in top shape as the seasons change. Here are some essential maintenance tips to prepare your home for the upcoming fall and winter months.
1. Hurricane Preparedness As hurricane season continues into the fall, review your emergency kit, secure outdoor furniture, and ensure your windows and doors are fortified.
2. Roof Inspection Florida’s intense sun and occasional storms can take a toll on roofs. Inspect for any damaged or missing shingles and address them promptly.
3. Air Conditioning Maintenance Your A/C still works hard in the fall. Change filters regularly and consider a professional inspection to keep it running efficiently.
4. Pool Maintenance If you’re lucky enough to have a pool, maintain proper chemical balance and keep it clean, even in the cooler months.
5. Pest Control Florida’s warmth means pests are active year-round. Schedule regular pest control to keep unwelcome visitors at bay.
6. Check Irrigation Systems Ensure your irrigation system is adjusted to accommodate the changing weather conditions. Overwatering can lead to mold and other issues.
7. Storm Drain Maintenance Clear storm drains around your property to prevent flooding during heavy rain.
8. Window and Door Seals Inspect and replace seals around windows and doors. This helps with energy efficiency and keeps out humidity.
9. Lawn Care Maintain your lawn throughout the fall to prevent it from becoming a breeding ground for pests and mosquitoes.
10. Mold Prevention Florida’s humidity can lead to mold growth. Use dehumidifiers, fix any leaks promptly, and keep your home well-ventilated.
We hope these tips help you prepare your home for the unique challenges of our climate. Regular maintenance is key to a comfortable and safe Florida home.
