I was speaking with Les Smith of Clark County Property Inspection and he had some useful ideas to share with me. I was happy to pass them on to you as well.
This is just a Seasonal Maintenance Checklist and is in addition to your regular maintenance program.
Have a professional check your heating system, replace or clean your air-filter.
If you have a gas powered lawn mower or other gas powered lawn equipment, run them until the fuel is gone. Often times in Vegas, we do cut our lawns all year around, so make the call depending on the type of grass you have and your mowing patterns.
Test your emergency generator if you have one.
Remove birds' nests from chimney flues and outdoor electrical fixtures. Our chimneys are usually used as a gas appliance here in Nevada, but if you have either a wood burning or a gas fireplace make sure the chimney is clear.
Check the caulking around the doors and windows and make sure it is adequate to reduce heat/cooling loss.
Clean the gutters and downspouts. If they are not clean, water will back up in the gutters and down spouts which could send water into the home. Water damage/leakage!
Make sure the caulking around your bathroom fixtures is adequate as well to prevent water leaking to the sub-flooring or walls.
