Fall is the perfect time to get your home in top shape for the colder months! From lawn care to fireplace safety and pipe protection, a little preparation now will ensure your home stays cozy and secure all season long.
Prepare the Lawn for Winter: Early fall is the ideal time to fertilize and reseed your lawn. Aerate the soil to promote healthy root growth, and apply a fall fertilizer to help your grass store nutrients for the winter. This will give your lawn a head start when spring arrives.
Inspect and Clean the Chimney: If you have a fireplace, now is the time to schedule a chimney inspection and cleaning. Removing creosote buildup and checking for any blockages will reduce the risk of chimney fires and ensure your fireplace is safe to use during the colder months.
Check and Insulate Exposed Pipes: As temperatures start to drop, it’s a good idea to inspect any exposed pipes, particularly in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, or garages. Add insulation to prevent freezing and potential burst pipes during the winter months.
