Preparing Your Home for Spring (Part 1)

Spring is here and with the great warm weather Spring is coming alive. With the great Spring weather, however, also come storms, storm damage, pests, allergies and so much more. Preparing our home and family for all that Spring brings is very important. Read on to find some information on preparing your home for Spring.

Preparing Your Home for Spring

• Check your windows and doors to make sure they are caulked properly and that weather stripping is properly installed. Gaps in these areas can lead to pests, water, and energy leaks.
• Have a Broken Arrow Heating and A/C Company service your system to make sure that it is running properly and at its best. This will save you money and help keep you cool.
• Get your house treated regularly for pests. The warm weather can drive them inside. Prevent this before it becomes a problem with regular pest control from a Broken Arrow area pest control company.
• Check your smoke detectors to ensure that they work. Change the batteries if it has been one year since you have installed new batteries. Although this is not just a Spring problem, now is a good time to check it.
• Play the inventory game. Let your kids help by taking pictures, a video, or simply making lists of all valuables, electronics, etc in your home and their serial number and other important information.
• Do home repairs now. With all the water and wind that storms bring, now is the time to check for and take care of any home repairs.
• Have Broken Arrow roofing professionals do a free roof check. Don't wait for a storm to find out that your roof is leaking.
• Talk to your Broken Arrow area insurance agent and do an annual insurance review. Make sure that you have more than adequate insurance coverage.
• With the many allergy problems that arise during Spring weather, replace your air filters with high quality air filters.

Now is also a great time to consider home additions, home automation, or flooring replacement.
