Fall is one of the best times to tackle some of your home maintenance tasks! Getting your house in good condition is crucial as the seasons change. This can provide you with peace of mind and comfort and help prevent more significant problems you may face.

As we prepare for Fall, here are the FIVE home maintenance services we highly recommend for each of our clients –

Clean Gutters: As the leaves fall, the gutters become clogged. Clogged gutters can lead to water damage, mold problems, and even foundation issues. It is super important to prioritize cleaning gutters to prevent these future problems.

Check To Make Sure Heating Systems Are Working Properly: As cold weather fast approaches, you must ensure your heating systems are working to their full potential. Our service includes cleaning and tune-ups if necessary. This can help prevent last-minute emergency fixes, which can be very costly.

Test Smoke Detectors: Our team will ensure that your fire safety equipment is placed in the best spots, charged, and ready for use. Fall is an excellent time of the year to ensure that fire safety is up to par!

Air Duct Cleaning: Fall is a perfect time to properly clean your air ducts to remove a buildup of dust or allergens. This can be very helpful for households with allergies or respiratory issues and can improve indoor air quality.
Drain Cleaning: Whether your drain is slowing down due to hair, soap, scum, or other debris, we can help fix it by removing the blockage and cleaning the area! Regular drain cleaning can prompt pipes to flow easily and prevent future blockages.

By prioritizing these tasks, we can help ensure your house is ready for the change in season! Preventive care now can make a massive difference down the road and save you from costly repairs. Let us help you prevent potential issues to quickly relax and enjoy your home. Check out UpKeep Home Maintenance, our home maintenance services, on our website to learn more!
