Home Maintenance (First Week Of December)


Your comfort!

Your home working at its best!

Your money in your pocket!


Your Ounce Of Prevention:

  1. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors and replace batteries to ensure functionality, especially since homes tend to be closed up more this time of year.

  2. Ensure that garden hoses are detached and that sprinkler systems are adequately winterized. (Yes...we do have some freezing that actually happens here.)

  3. Pests like warm and cozy places too! Seal any openings in the house to prevent rodents and insects from entering.

  4. Schedule a pest inspection to ensure no infestations have developed. Especially if you haven't done this for a while.

  5. Get your fireplace professionally cleaned and inspected to prevent fires. Store firewood away from the house in a dry location.

  6. Inspect those holiday lights for frayed cords or damaged sockets before hanging them up. Ensure outdoor decorations are secured to withstand winds and don't pose tripping hazards.

Have a fantastic and safe rest of your week everyone!
