Quarterly Maintenance Checklist For Your Home
Keeping your home in tip-top shape requires regular maintenance. Keep this list handy for tasks that should be done every three months. Next month we’ll feature some seasonal tips. (Save these lists!)
- Test smoke and carbon dioxide detectors. If the alarm doesn’t sound, change the batteries.
- Let water run in unused sinks and flush unused toilets. This helps flush out built-up grime.
- Clean out gutters. Removing leaves and other blockages keeps build-up from molding and allows water run-off to flow properly.
- Check water softener. Add salt if necessary.
- Trim trees and bushes. Keep hanging branches clear from house walls, the roof, and the air conditioner.
