Pre-Spring Home Maintenance Checklist
With warmer weather on the horizon, now is the time to refresh, repair, and prepare your home for the season ahead. Here’s how to get started:
1. Service Your HVAC System 🌡️
- Replace air filters and schedule a tune-up to ensure your heating and cooling system runs efficiently.
- Clean vents and ducts to reduce dust and allergens before spring.
2. Check for Water Leaks & Drainage Issues 💧
- Inspect under sinks, around toilets, and near appliances for signs of leaks.
- Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent overflow and water damage during spring rains.
3. Refresh Outdoor Spaces 🌿
- Sweep patios, decks, and walkways to remove dirt and winter debris.
- Trim overgrown shrubs and branches that could pose a hazard in windy weather.
4. Test Home Safety Systems 🔥
- Check and replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
- Inspect fire extinguishers to ensure they’re in working order.
5. Seal & Weatherproof 🚪
- Re-caulk around windows, doors, and exterior openings to prevent drafts and moisture issues.
- Inspect your roof for any missing shingles or damage that needs repair.
6. Deep Clean & Declutter 🏠
- Mop floors, deep clean carpets, and dust hard-to-reach areas to remove winter grime.
- Organize storage areas and donate unused items before spring cleaning season begins.
7. Prep Your Lawn & Garden 🌱
- Rake up any leftover leaves and prep garden beds for new plantings.
- Inspect irrigation systems and hoses for leaks before the dry season.
