SPRING HOME MAINTENANCE
Once the ground has thawed and the trees begin to bud, it’s time to prepare your home for spring. On top of your regular spring cleaning, you’ll also want to consider these general upkeep tips. Use our spring home maintenance checklist to make sure everything in your home, from the basement to the roof, is in tip-top shape:
Protect your home against strong wind and rain
Outside
-
Clean gutters and downspouts. Learn how to extend the life of your gutters.
-
Inspect roof and chimney for cracks and damage.
-
Wash all windows, inside and out.
-
Install screens on windows and doors.
-
Touch up peeling or damaged paint. Watch educational videos for ideas on dealing with exterior paint problems.
-
Clean outdoor furniture and air out cushions.
-
Service your lawn mower
-
Fertilize your lawn.
Inside
-
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when you set your clocks forward.
-
If your basement has a sump pump, test it by dumping a large bucket of water into the basin of the sump pump. This should activate the sump pump. If it does not switch on or if it's not pumping water, it may need to be serviced by a professional. Also, check for and remove any debris and make sure there are no leaks.
-
Wash and change seasonal bedding.
-
Dust blinds and vacuum curtains throughout your house
-
Clean kitchen and bathroom cabinets and throw away outdated food, medicine and cosmetics.
-
Inspect attic fans to make sure there are no animal nests and test them properly.
-
Have air conditioner outside professionally inspected.
-
Test whole home generator for proper function.
-
Test panel circuit breakers.
