Homeowner Spring Maintenace Tips
- Clean and test all your smoke alarms (if needed replace batteries).
- Test all GFCls in bathrooms, kitchens, outside receptacles and on the electrical panel.
- Change the furnace filters and inspect the fan belt (may require a technician).
- Inspect the roof visually from the ground if possible (be safety conscious if you have to go on the roof or hire a contractor).
- Clean gutters and down-pipes and make sure downspouts and splash pads drain away from walls and foundation.
- Inspect caulking inside and out and touch-up or replace where needed with approved products.
- Clean windows, window tracks and make sure weep holes are not blocked (including sliding door tracks - lubricate openers and track rollers with silicone spray).
- Remember to turn on the interior water supply to hose bibs and exterior faucets! (IMPORTANT - check for leaks).
