Summer is here! Below are some summer home-maintenance tips to help protect your investment.
- Caulk exterior joints around windows and doors to help lower cooling bills.
- Clean lint from the entire clothes dryer vent system, from the dryer to the exterior vent cap. Lint is flammable and poses a fire risk.
- Repair cracks in concrete patios and driveways. For cracks less than 1/4" wide, apply concrete caulk. For larger cracks, use concrete patch for caulk.
- Wash the exterior of your house using ordinary garden-hose pressure and a mild detergent.
- Clean and seal your porch or deck.
- Clean air conditioner outside unit (while it is off). Use the hose to rinse out the condenser blades.
- Trim all landscaping back at least 1-2" from the house to help reduce the chance of termites and other insects entering your home.
- Change the air conditioning filters inside your home.
- Clean the fan blades of ceiling fans.
- Caulk the expansion joint in long brick runs.
Now go enjoy a BBQ and some relaxation time in the yard with your family and friends.
