Clarke Home Inspections

The most common issues found in a home inspection are modifications made by homeowners over the years, like; illegal electrical upgrades, amateur plumbing fixes, renovations and remodels, but one of the worst things for a home is neglect. Clean your eaves, fill holes in foundations and siding, replace caulking around tubs, sinks, counter-tops, change air filters, UV lights, water filter, sediment filters, have you chimney and wood burning devices cleaned and inspected. There are lists of monthly, quarterly, semi annual and annual recommended preventative maintenance on the internet Check them out and always have your home in its top condition.

Book your furnace inspection, tune up and cleaning soon, the colder weather means the HVAC technicians are going to be busy get an early jump on it to avoid be left in the cold.

Summer is still here however Fall is comingNow is a great time for some preventative maintenance. If You still have wooden windows a sand, scrape, and a coat or two of good exterior paint will go a long way to extend their life and add a little curb appeal. Fall is also when the little critters start looking for a nice warm place for the upcoming months check the exterior of your home for possible entry points like gaps around furnace and A/C vents, missing louvers and screens on dryer vents and bathroom/kitchen exhaust vents.
