It's Labor Day, which means the first day of Fall is 22 days away! You may want to start thinking of ways to prepare your home for the quickly approaching season.
Here are some tips:
1. Clean out gutters and downspouts.
2. Make sure all gaps and cracks around windows and doors are sealed with weatherstripping and caulk.
3. Check your roof for any issues. i.e. damaged or curled shingles, corroded flashing, or leaky vents.
4. Repair any cracks or damages to sidewalks, driveways, and steps.
5. Winterize outdoor faucets and irrigation systems.
6. Dirty filters need to be replaced or clean.
7. Make sure your heating system is in quality shape.
8. Have your fireplace swept for soot or creosote build-up.
9. While you are in the inspecting mode, make sure you test smoke and CO monitors, fire extinguishers, and review fire escape plans.
