Must-Do Home Maintenance Chores for Spring

Lifestyle

1 Feb

Spring is a great time to perform certain maintenance tasks. It’s also the traditional time for spring cleaning. When you’re scrubbing floors, cleaning windows, decluttering and sprucing up your cabinets you get to look a little closer at your home and spot whether there are any potential problems. Depending on the weather, your home might have taken a bit of a battering during the winter. The following list of home maintenance chores will help you tackle any repairs and keep your home in tip-top condition.

Workman Clearing Autumn Leaves from Gutter

Declutter

Have you got too much clutter in your house? The answer’s probably going to be yes, if you’re honest with yourself. Time to get rid of some of the things you don’t use as well as those items you’ve been meaning to fix but never gotten around to it.

Clean the Gutters

Your gutters are part of your home’s defense system and in order to work efficiently they need to be cleaned and not full of holes. Your guttering system directs water away from your home and if it’s not working properly, it can lead to a number of problems. Mosquito infestations, mildew and mold to name just a few.

Seal Up Any Holes

If you’ve got any holes in your walls around the foundations or entry points for wires and pipes you’re inviting pests into your home to take up residence. It’s easy to fill most of them with a can of spray foam. Termites are attracted by moisture so make sure there’s no standing water caused by leaking faucets, pipes and air conditioning units.

Get Your HVAC System Checked

Your HVAC system is going to be keeping you cool all summer so now’s the time to make sure it’s in perfect working order. You’ll find companies that offer air conditioning repair wherever you live in the US. For air conditioning repair, Mt Pleasant, SC get in touch with Southern Seasons Heating and Air.

Clean Your Roof

The winter can be very harsh in certain areas of the US and your roof can become damaged. Check it for damaged shingles. Ice dams are often the cause when they become pushed up under the shingles. As well as damaging your roof they can also cause leaks. Any damaged shingles should be replaced immediately to prevent further problems.

Wash Your Walkways and Driveways

It doesn’t cost a lot to hire a power washer if you haven’t already got one. Just a few hours work, and your walkways and driveways will look almost as good as new.

Clean and Reseal Your Decking

Your decking is another part of your home that suffers during the winter, so give it some TLC by cleaning and resealing it. The extremes of temperature your decking has to endure means the wood can wear out quickly. Applying a sealer can stop this from happening.

If you find the time and energy to undertake these chores before the summer comes you’ll be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the sunshine.
