MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR YOUR NEW HOME
A weekly, annual and 5-10 year schedule for home maintenance will protect your home. A building inspection should be included in that schedule.
Keeping your home clean and tidy is not just aesthetics; it keeps pests at bay.
Pests such as cockroaches, ants and termites can cause damage to your property.
Keeping garden beds and mulch away from timber fences and house walls will prevent a termite infestation.
Prune shrubs so branches don’t overhang gutters and rooflines to prevent the buildup of leaf litter and provide access to pests.
Leaf litter can block gutters during heavy downpours and cause water to overflow.
For your air-conditioning unit to work effectively, air filters should be cleaned every month. If this is a task you’re not keen to do, engage an air-conditioning supply and maintenance company to put you on a regular service plan.
Routine maintenance will extend the life of the unit and run efficiently.
Every 6 months clean all exterior walls, windows, screens, and garage doors. Dust and dirt cause surfaces to deteriorate.
Annually, book a pest control service and a termite inspection.
The home should be painted inside and out every 5 or so years.
If you would like to book a building inspection as part of your home maintenance where from subfloor to the roof is inspected please call today.
