July Home Maintenance Checklist: Mid-Summer Home TLC
We’re in the heart of summer 🌞—the perfect time to knock out quick home care wins that keep things cool, efficient, and ready for fun.
Here's what to focus on this month:
---
✔️ Check & Clean Ceiling Fans 🌬️
Wipe down dusty blades and make sure they’re spinning counterclockwise for optimal airflow and energy savings.
✔️ Inspect Your Attic for Pests or Leaks 🐜
Hot temps = increased critter activity. Look for signs of nesting, damp spots, or insulation damage.
✔️ Flush the Water Heater 🚿
Sediment buildup can shorten its lifespan. A quick flush improves efficiency and keeps your water hot when you need it.
✔️ Test & Inspect Sump Pump ⚠️
Sudden summer storms can lead to flooding. Make sure your sump pump is working and clear of debris.
✔️ Clean & Reseal Grout in Kitchens & Bathrooms 🧽
Grout gets grimy fast in the heat and humidity. Scrub it down and reseal to prevent mildew and stains.
✔️ Touch Up Exterior Paint or Stain 🎨
Sun and rain can wear down outdoor finishes. Touch up trim, doors, or decks to protect your home and boost curb appeal.
✔️ Inspect Outdoor Play Equipment 🛝
If you have a swing set, trampoline, or playhouse, check for loose bolts, rust, and wear. Safety first for summer fun!
