A home is often someone’s most valuable asset. When buying a home, there are so many procedures to go through and so many things to take care of. Once that initial period passes by, the enthusiasm to take care of your house wears off along with it. But that shouldn’t be the case. The things that you take care of tend to last longer. And your Home or Apartment should be on top of your priority list. Don’t dwell on the complexity of home maintenance. If you do it with love and a bit of care, it’s as simple as it could get. And guess what? We’re here to help you out! We’ve created the ultimate home maintenance checklist that you can refer to when taking care of your little heaven on earth.
Do a monthly inspection
- Check the indoor and outdoor vents of your home.
- Inspect the electrical cords to track any wear.
- Make sure to inspect the tubs and sinks for debris and unclog them in case you find any.
- Keep your water heater clean from accumulated sediment by flushing out water from the heater.
- Be consistent in cleaning the garbage disposal.
- Repair or replace damaged window screens.
- Clear out dead plants and make sure to be consistent in trimming your plants.
Do an annual and seasonal check-up
- Check the exterior drainage system before monsoons to ensure that rainwater wouldn’t puddle up around your Home for more than 24 hours.
- Carry out an annual paint check. If you find chipped walls or holes in the brick then get it repaired and repainted before the monsoon arrives.
- Get your air conditioning system summer-ready! Summers can be harsh, so consider getting your air conditioning system serviced before the heat gets in.
- Check the roofs for damage or leaks, and if you find any, seek professional help immediately.
- Inspect plumbing for any leaks without sparing any faucet or toilet. If you need any help, ring a plumber right away.
