PREPPING YOUR

Fall Winter FOR

A SEASONAL CHECKLIST

CLEAN + STOW YOUR MOWER

SEAL AIR LEAKS

If your mower sits for months with gas in its tank, the gas will slowly deteriorate

Using exterior caulk, make a journey around your home’s exterior, sealing up cracks between trim and siding, around window and door frames, and where pipes and wires enter your house.

REMOVE GARDEN HOSES FROM FAUCETS Leaving hoses attached can cause water to back up in the faucets and in the plumbing pipes

DRAIN YOUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM

CHECK YOUR FURNACE Schedule an appointment with a heating and cooling pro to get your heating system checked for the coming heating season.

DE-GUNK YOUR GUTTERS

Even buried irrigation lines can freeze, leading to busted pipes

Clogged rain gutters can cause ice dams, which can lead to expensive repairs.

FERTILIZE YOUR LAWN

CHECK YOUR ROOF

If you want to keep your lawn looking great in the spring and summer, you need to prep it for the fall and winter.

Look for warning signs: Shingles that are buckled, cracked, or missing; rust spots on flashing.

BETTER HOMES & GARDENS

PRUNE YOUR PLANTS Trim back dead branches, clear leaves, and any take down any trees in danger of falling.

WRAP WATER PIPES Wrap any water spigots or pipes that run along exterior walls with heating tape or warming bags. It will save energy and prevent them from freezing.

CHECK FOR PESTS Pests love attics because they are full of nice warm insulation for nesting, and they offer easy access to the rest of the house.

CHECK YOUR FURNACE Schedule an appointment with a heating and cooling pro to get your heating system checked for the coming heating season.

GIVE YOUR FIREPLACE A ONCE-OVER Grab a flashlight and look up inside your fireplace flue to make sure the damper opens and closes properly.

FIX ANY CRACKS IN THE DRIVEWAY When water gets into cracks it freezes, expands, and makes cracks even bigger.

PREPARE FOR STORMS In case the power goes out, keep flashlights, batteries, non-perishable foods, and a smartphone charger on hand.

CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES Check to make sure all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices are working.
