Make Your (Home) List and Check It Twice

The Holiday Season is upon us, and many people will be spending more time than usual away from home; shopping, going to parties, visiting family and on-and-on. The Holidays are Wonderful!

Make sure your home, or your investment property is prepared to cooperate with your Holiday schedule and budget. Preventive maintenance is almost always less expensive and more convenient than any emergency repair, and a lot less stressful.

Here’s a short list that can go a long way in preventing some fairly disruptive, and costly repairs right in the middle of such a great time of the year.

  • Clean gutters and remove accumulated leafs from roof valleys. Water will always follow the path of least resistance. Any obstruction in gutters or roof valleys may be sufficient enough to alter the normal path away from your property and into your property.
  • Check the hoses that connect the washing machine to the water supply. If any wear is evident, arrange to have them replaced. If the hoses are more than five years old you may want to have them replaced. Remember, the water to your washing machine is ALWAYS on. Any break in the supply line can wreak havoc.
  • Check the water heater for any signs of leaking and arrange for repairs if any water is evident. Water heaters are just like washing machines in that the water is ALWAYS on.

If you haven’t already replaced HVAC filters, and the batteries in the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, there’s no better time than now.
