Fall Maintenance - Get a Jump-Start!

As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it's time to start thinking about fall maintenance for your home. With the changing seasons comes a new set of tasks to keep your house in top condition and prepare for the colder weather ahead.

One of the most important things to do during the fall is to clean out your gutters. As the leaves start to fall, they can clog up your gutters and cause water to back up, leading to potential damage to your roof or foundation. Take the time to clear out any debris and make sure your gutters are in good working order.

Another important task is to check your heating system. Before the temperatures drop, it's a good idea to have your furnace serviced to ensure it's running efficiently and safely. You don't want to be left without heat on a cold winter night, so take the time now to make sure everything is in working order.

Fall is also a great time to check your windows and doors for any drafts. As the weather gets colder, you don't want to be losing heat through gaps in your windows or doors. Consider adding weather stripping or caulking to seal up any leaks and keep your home cozy and warm.

Lastly, don't forget to take care of your outdoor spaces as well. Clean up any fallen leaves, trim back any overgrown bushes, and prepare your garden for the winter months. By taking the time to do these tasks now, you can ensure that your home is in great shape for the season ahead. 

Fall maintenance may not be the most exciting task on your to-do list, but it's an important one to help protect your home and keep it running smoothly. Take the time to tackle these tasks now, and you'll thank yourself when winter rolls around. As always, your friends at Todd Homes are here to answer any questions - call/text 513.823.3774.
