You should be checking over various areas of your home at least once a year, to ensure you’re keeping up with maintenance to prevent issues from cropping up. Spring is a perfect time to inspect your home, so here’s a handy list of what to look for.
• Roof: inspect for damage, sagging or missing shingles on the roof.
• Basement: check for cracks or damage in the walls or foundation, preventative measures can protect you from seasonal flooding.
• Air ducts: clean air ducts lead to better indoor air quality, so make sure things are clean in the ducts.
• Insulation: insulation leaks can lead to lost money and energy in heating costs.
• Windows: make sure your stripping is in good condition, especially before rainy season hits.
