Maintenance Must Dos

Don't let poor maintenance affect your home's value.

Keep your furnace filters clean to increase efficiency and possible repairs

Drain your water heater once a year to remove harmful sediment.

Clean coils on baseboard heaters.

Check circuit breakers and replace weak breakers to prevent shorts.

Check under sinks for leaks to avoid water damage.

Replace major mechanicals before they go bad to prevent costly emergency repairs.

Check outside of your home to make sure there are no leaks from loose gutters, missing or damaged flashing, missing or damaged weatherstripping.

Also check for standing water around foundations, cracks in foundations or missing splash blocks on downspouts.

Make your house last longer, retain more resale value and prevent costly repairs that could have been prevented.
