Fall Home Maintenance Schedule

If you live in a place where the leaves change during autumn, you know how beautiful the foliage can be. The main problem is collecting those leaves as the season grows colder. Before it's leaf-raking season, though, there are many ways you can prepare your home for the chilly weather ahead.

  • Prepare for colder temps by flushing your hot water heater to remove dirt and sediments.

  • Store patio or lawn furniture indoors, and organize your garage or shed.

  • If you have a chimney, have it inspected and swept.

  • Check the hoses of your dryer, and ensure all lint traps and filters are clear to prevent fire.

  • Repair any cracks around windows and doors to prevent outside air from leaking in.
