With the beauty of the tree lined streets of the Birdland neighborhood & other more established neighborhoods in Pleasanton, CA, the current weather conditions may require some quick maintenance checks.
These are some of the items to watch for during the windy, rainy months.
Oversized trees in your neighborhood during a windy rainstorm can become problematic, especially due to the years of drought we’ve had over the last 4 years here in Pleasanton, CA. From the ground being so very dry, to being infused with multiple downpours, trees are losing their roots and falling over.
Just today at the Bay East Association of Realtors office, a large tree fell into the parking lot, crushing a car and damaging several others. Had this tree fallen the other direction, lives could have been in harm’s way.
Keep an eye on any tall trees that could come falling down around your Birdland home for sale.
Discoloration of ceilings can be an indication that your roof has sprung a leak. If you notice discoloration on the ceiling, in the corner of a room, don’t wait to call a repair service. You might be surprised if you look into a closet with a flashlight to notice discoloration there. Catching leaks early can save lots of money in the long run.
Leaning fences might need some bolstering this winter. Check your fences to see how stable they are during this wave of stormy weather. Rather than the wind taking the fence completely down, propping it in places where it is leaning might buy you time right now for repairs during the dry months.
Direct water away from your home. Downspouts should be draining water toward the street, not toward the house.
If you have a crawl space, you might take a peak with a flashlight under the house to see if the groundwater under your home. In some instances, you may opt to rent a sump pump to remove water.
Keeping your eye out for maintenance issue with your Birdland home for sale can help you keep your home in pristine condition for years to come!
