October Home Maintenance Checklist

by Deanna Deckard

 

October’s mild weather in Solano County is perfect for tackling these unique home projects.

Skip the snow prep—here’s what to focus on instead! 👇

---

✔️ Clear Gutters & Downspouts 🍁
Remove fallen leaves and debris so autumn rains flow freely away from your roof and foundation.

✔️ Check Weatherstripping & Door Sweeps 🚪
Seal any drafts around doors and windows to keep indoor air cozy and your heater from overworking.

✔️ Flush the Water Heater 🚿
Drain sediment buildup to improve efficiency and extend the life of your unit—especially important with our mineral‑rich water.

✔️ Inspect Exterior Paint & Trim 🎨
Look for peeling, cracking, or mildew. Touch up or repaint areas prone to moisture to protect your siding and boost curb appeal.

✔️ Service Pool & Spa Equipment 🏊‍♂️
Balance chemicals, clean filters, and winterize controls so you’re ready for spring reopening without surprises.

✔️ Inspect Crawl Space & Foundation 👀
Check for moisture, pests, or cracks. Address any issues now to prevent mold or structural problems during rainy season.

✔️ Clean Range Hood Filters & Vents 🍴
Degrease and vacuum your kitchen exhaust to maintain airflow, reduce fire risk, and help your HVAC run smoother.
