Sadly, summer is coming to a close and winter is right around the corner. At this time of year, it’s especially important to keep up with seasonal maintenance on your property. Here are some items to consider before the weather starts getting too cold:
Clear gutters and downspouts. Before autumn dumps some more leaves into your gutters, they should be inspected for dirt, leaves and other debris. Downspouts should be cleared of clutter and all the fittings should be examined.
Clean the chimney. If your property has a chimney, hire a professional chimney sweep to make sure the damper and flue are working properly, the flashing is protected against water leakage, and no animals have made their nest inside.
Repair the walkways. Before the ground becomes slippery with rain or covered in snow, your building’s walkways should be inspected for cracks, uneven pavement, or any opportunities for residents to trip and get hurt.
Remind residents to change the air filters. After a summer of using the central air system, filters can get dirty. Also remind them to waterproof or remove window air conditioning units before fall sets in.
Check for leaks. Prevent broken and burst pipes in the winter by having the plumbing in each unit inspected for leaks. Get up into the attic space after a rainstorm and make sure there are no leaks in the roof, chimney, or skylights. Remind residents to keep their indoor temperature set high enough setting to prevent frozen pipes.
