As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves begin to change color, it’s time to start thinking about fall maintenance for your properties. These tips will help make sure your properties are ready for the cooler temperatures and everything that comes with them.
1. Inspect the roof and gutters
Make sure there are no loose or missing shingles, and that the gutters are free of debris. If they’re not, repair or replace them as necessary.
2. Inspect exterior doors and windows
Make sure they’re properly sealed and caulked to prevent drafts. Also, check to see if the weather stripping needs to be replaced.
3. Clean out the chimney
This is important to prevent fires when you start using your fireplace more often in the cooler weather.
4. Inspect your furnace and ductwork
Make sure everything is in good working order and that there are no signs of leaks or blockages in the ductwork. You may also want to consider changing your furnace filter at this time.
5. Inspect your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace the batteries if necessary
This is an important safety measure to take every six months, but it’s especially important in the fall when you’ll be using your fireplace more often.
By following these tips, you can rest assured that your properties will be well-maintained and ready for whatever the fall season brings. If you have any questions or need assistance with any of these tasks, our team at Infinite Capital Projects is always here to help. Contact us today!
