With leaves beginning to change colors and geese flocking south, Autumn is definitely on its way in. Fall is a great time to focus on preparing your house for the harsh cold of Winter. While maintenance for your home is an ongoing chore, our home inspector has some tips on what things you should focus on during the Fall season. Please consider making this list a part of your yearly maintenance schedule every Fall.

  • Flush water heater and remove sediment.
  • Have chimney professionally cleaned and inspected.
  • Inspect or service heating system for proper working condition.
  • Test sump pump.
  • Turn off, flush, and cover/insulate  all exterior water faucets.
  • Examine caulking around windows, doors, and service penetrations and replace or renew as required.
  • Check all vents outside your home to make sure they are free and clear.
  • Keep gutters clear of any leaves or debris.
