September Home Maintenance Checklist: Fall Prep Starts Now!
September is the gateway to fall 🍂—which means it’s the perfect time to prep your home for cooler temps, falling leaves, and the coziest season of all.
Knock out these early autumn to-dos now so you can relax when sweater weather rolls in! 🧣🍁
---
✔️ Schedule a Heating System Tune-Up 🔧
Before chilly mornings arrive, have a pro inspect and service your furnace or boiler. A quick check now keeps things running safely and efficiently all season.
✔️ Clean & Store Summer Gear 🏖️
Wash and pack away outdoor cushions, pool supplies, and summer tools. Don’t forget to drain and store hoses properly to prevent cracking.
✔️ Inspect Roof & Flashing 🏠
Look for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or signs of wear. Addressing small issues now can prevent big leaks later.
✔️ Check Chimney & Fireplace 🧱
Planning cozy fires this fall? Schedule a chimney sweep and make sure the damper works properly.
✔️ Seal Driveway Cracks 🚗
Cooler temps and moisture can make cracks worse. Sealing now helps protect against winter damage.
✔️ Test Smoke & CO Detectors 🔋
Use the change of season as your reminder to test all alarms and replace batteries if needed.
✔️ Prep the Yard for Fall 🌳
Trim dead branches, fertilize the lawn, and plant fall bulbs. It’s your last call for easy outdoor upgrades before the frost sets in!
