As Winter Is Upon Us, Getting Your Property Ready In Preventing Issues Is Essential.

Although Southern California doesn’t get as cold as our northern neighbors, there are still important steps that can be taken to maintain and improve the quality of life in your home. Winterization and maintenance can help keep your equipment working properly and prevent costly repairs.  This constant and vigilant approach can also help you as the home owner to discover any faults or defects that stem far deeper than just normal wear and tear and more due to negligence by a home builder or developer.   Let us explore on what steps you need to do to prepare for the upcoming winter season.  

Please review the below tips and do a walkthrough around your home and property to assess any potential damage.

• Inspect Doors and Windows
  • Check for gaps that can let cool air in or heat escape. An easy solution is to apply new caulking or install additional weather stripping.
• Clean Gutters of Debris
  • Blocked gutters won’t allow water to flow to the proper drains. Overflowing gutters can allow water to get dangerously close to your foundation. Make sure your downspouts are at least five feet away from your foundation.
• Check for Drainage Issues
  • Water sloping towards a foundation or slab can cause problems.
• Service FAU (Forced Air Unit) and Furnace
  • Replace dirty filters and have a professional check for a tune up. A servicemen can replace faulty parts and run necessary tests.
