Coming up on the seasonal plan
Picked from the house's profile: gutters three times a year because trees hang over the roof, and no jobs for a well, septic tank or pool it doesn't have.
Check your fire extinguishers
Clean gutters and downspouts (trees overhead)
Clean the dishwasher filter
Replace the furnace or AC filter
Clean the dryer vent duct
Test for radon
Check the water meter for hidden leaks
Fix plan
From an inspection report or the walkthrough. Each fix comes with DIY, handyman and pro options and rough costs.
Missing or faulty GFCI protection
Electrician adds GFCI protection to each required circuit.
Downspouts discharge too close to the foundation
Add downspout extensions or splash blocks so water lands 4 to 6 feet out.
Air leaks (attic bypasses) into the attic
Seal small gaps with fire-rated foam or caulk and weatherstrip the hatch.
