Fall Maintenance Tips

Roof & Gutters

- Check your roof for any broken or missing shingles and repair or replace shingles as needed
- Clean gutters and downspouts by clearing out any clogs that can cause water blockages, such as leaves, branches, sand, shingle debris, or weeds. Running a hose through the gutters will reveal if there are any clogs
- Repair any damaged gutter sections, and when rain gutters cannot be repaired, especially in the case with older gutters, it is a better to completely remove the rain gutter.
- If you notice any roof leaks, dampened walls, cracked foundation, and/or damaged landscaping near your home, you may have issues with your roof and/or rain gutter system that require a professional inspection
- Replace rain gutters, as needed, and consider installing gutter protectors to prevent debris from collecting
- Check all water drains and downspouts around your home to be sure proper water drainage away from your house

Heating System

Schedule an annual HVAC Fall Tune-Up that includes changing your furnace filter to reduce undue stress on your heating system. Contact your local Heating and Air-Condition Company, home warranty company or local hardware store for a maintenance plan
Consider replacing an older thermastat with a new programmable thermastat to turn your heater on only when you need it

Chimney Inspection

According to SoCal Chimney Services, older homes, often have chimneys that are too short or without liners. They state that if the chimney has a liner, they’ll inspect it for cracks that could allow heat to escape and ignite combustible materials, like your roof trusses
