March 20 is the first day of spring! Is your home ready for April showers and May flowers? If not, we?ve put together some home maintenance tips to prepare your home for the bright sunshine to come.
- Check your gutters. The earlier spring months are know for bringing a lot of rain, so it?s important to check for loose or leaky gutters. If they are clogged or full of debris, the water can end up in the basement or crawl space of your home. Check to make sure your gutters lead away from your foundation and are free of any trash.
- Inspect your roof shingles. From the ground, visually check your roof shingles for any damage from the winter. Replace any shingles that are cracked, buckled or loose as the summer sun can do serious damage to roof shingles. Plumbing vents, chimneys and skylights should be checked and repaired by a qualified roofer.
- Store firewood away from the home. Keep your firewood 2 feet from your home and at least 18 inches off the ground. Firewood kept near the house can attract spiders, snakes, rats and other pesky insects you don?t want running around your home.
- Check your hose faucets. Over the winter, the faucet pipes can freeze due to the cold weather. You can check them yourself by turning the water on and placing your thumb over the opening. If you can stop the water from coming out, more than likely the pipe is damaged and will need to be replaced.
- Prepare your lawn equipment. Check your gas and battery powered lawn mower, weed trimmer, etc and make sure they are ready for the summer. Cleaning the equipment and installing new cutting blades will make the yardwork easier.
