July Home Maintenance Checklist: Mid-Summer Home TLC
Weโre in the heart of summer ๐โthe 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:
---
โ๏ธ Check & Clean Ceiling Fans ๐ฌ๏ธ
Wipe down dusty blades and make sure theyโre spinning counterclockwise for optimal airflow and energy savings.
โ๏ธ Inspect Your Attic for Pests or Leaks ๐
Hot temps = increased critter activity. Look for signs of nesting, damp spots, or insulation damage.
โ๏ธ Flush the Water Heater ๐ฟ
Sediment buildup can shorten its lifespan. A quick flush improves efficiency and keeps your water hot when you need it.
โ๏ธ Test & Inspect Sump Pump โ ๏ธ
Sudden summer storms can lead to flooding. Make sure your sump pump is working and clear of debris.
โ๏ธ Clean & Reseal Grout in Kitchens & Bathrooms ๐งฝ
Grout gets grimy fast in the heat and humidity. Scrub it down and reseal to prevent mildew and stains.
โ๏ธ Touch Up Exterior Paint or Stain ๐จ
Sun and rain can wear down outdoor finishes. Touch up trim, doors, or decks to protect your home and boost curb appeal.
โ๏ธ Inspect Outdoor Play Equipment ๐
If you have a swing set, trampoline, or playhouse, check for loose bolts, rust, and wear. Safety first for summer fun!
