Fall Maintenance Tips for Homeowners
Clean gutters. Clogged gutters can damage your home’s exterior and cause water to accumulate around the foundation. Before the leaves fall, thoroughly clean out the gutters and consider covering them with gutter guards to discourage debris accumulation.
Check the chimney. Before using the fireplace, have it inspected for dangerous creosote build-up. Throughout the season, have the flue inspected after burning each cord of wood.
