Winter is finally over
and its time to embrace the summer. Following is a checklist for keeping your
home and its systems running optimally!
1. Get your Air
conditioner serviced by Licensed HVAC contractor.
2. Check the filters
of HVAC system and clean / replace depending on model.
3. Check roof covering (shingles etc.) to check for any
damage due to snow.
4. Clean gutters of
debris for proper drainage.
5. Check grading
around the house to see that water is not flowing / ponding near the foundation. This will prevent
leaky basement in case of heavy rains.
6. Cut / Trim grass
regularly near the house to prevent water proper drainage of water away from
the house.
7. Check for cracks in
caulking around windows, doors and any penetrations in the wall, to prevent
water penetration.
8. Check for cracks in
mortar joints and in foundation walls. If they are big enough to allow water
penetration then get them repaired by qualified contractor.
9. The other area
which mostly gets damaged by snow is your driveway and sidewalk. Check for
signs of cracking and settlement.
10. Make sure that the
Sump Pump (if present) in the house is working properly.
Maintaining your house
will not only save you money down the road, your house will also last and look
good for many years to come.
