Exterior Maintenance Checklist
To protect your home from potential weather-related damage, make sure to:
1. Blow out the sprinkler system
This is crucial to prevent freezing and damage to your sprinkler system during the colder months.
2. Cover the hose bibs/spigots
Insulating the outdoor faucets will prevent them from freezing and potentially bursting.
3. Clean the gutters
Removing leaves and debris from your gutters will prevent water backups and potential damage to your roof and foundation.
4. Secure downspout extensions
Ensuring that downspout extensions are securely attached will help divert water away from your home's foundation.
5. Disconnect water hoses when not in use
Disconnecting the water hose from the spigot during the colder season will prevent freezing and potential cracking of the line.
