Hello World! Welcome Friends! With warmer weather here, it is the perfect time to take a look at those home maintenance tasks before Fall and Winter arrive. Keep reading for tips to help you mark those tasks off of your to-do list.
Insulate Water Pipes
A careful inspection could save you the cost of replacing a burst pipe when water inside it freezes and expands beyond the pipe’s capacity to contain it. You’ll also want to drain all of your exterior faucets to empty those altogether. Go to https://heatline.com/about-heat-line-products.php for more information. Also, remember that before Winter sets in, garden hoses should be drained and put away for the season, too.
Inspect your Gutters, Roof and Chimney
These items will need a thorough inspection to make sure they are in good working order and do not need repair. Should anything of concern come up in the inspection, you will have plenty of time to address any issues and schedule repairs.
Check Window and Doors
The smallest gaps around doors and windows can contribute to high home energy costs. Plus, they can make your house drafty. Check all of your exterior door/window frames and sills for gaps. Weather strip and/or caulk any openings you find and repeat the process inside your home.
Purging and Organization
Since your focus has been on home maintenance tasks, you don’t want to neglect the interior of your home. This is the perfect time to clean out closets and address the mounds of paper that are in your home office. And, cleaning up your computer files would be especially helpful to create more space digitally. If you work from home, you know how important it is to have digital storage. In addition, if you run your own website, and need help with SEO, be sure to contact Ignite Digital Seo consultant Toronto.
Yes, this is a lot, but if you start now and do something each weekend your to-do list will shrink and when Fall and Winter come, you will have more time to spend with family. You will have peace of mind when your home is in good working order as well as clean and tidy.
