Handy Home Helpers RVA March 2020
Spring is the perfect time to clean, maintain and upgrade your home. You need to counteract the wear and tear caused by the previous season if you want to avoid problems for the rest of the year. What tasks should you prioritize, though? These are some of the must-do maintenance tasks for spring:
Clean and Clear Your Gutters
Make sure your gutters aren’t clogged once the spring showers arrive. Your gutters need to be free of dirt and debris if you want them to protect your home from water damage. Gutter clogs are a problem because they can cause the rain entering your gutters to overflow, which would lead to moisture damage to your siding, landscaping and foundation.
Clean Your Air Conditioner Unit’s Coils
Spring is a good time to inspect your outdoor AC unit to see it’s clean and in good condition. Call a professional to clean and service your cooling system. A clean cooling system operates more efficiently, and you won’t have to worry about your system breaking down during the hotter months ahead. In addition, regularly replace your interior filters.
Keep Your Roof in Good Condition
Your home’s roofing system is exposed to constant weather damage, making spring the perfect time to conduct some maintenance work. Your roof has just protected your interior from snow, ice and heavy rain during the winter. You need to deal with leaks, cracks and missing shingles immediately so your roof will be ready for the heat and humidity of summer.
Trim Your Branches
Getting rid of those unsightly low hanging branches will no only make your yard look better, it will prevent you from dealing with other more costly issues in the future. With spring comes the bad weather of warmer seasons here in Virginia. Strong windstorms can cause damage to your house and automobiles. Taking preventative action can save you lots of money in the long run.
