Monthly Home Maintenance Tips For April

Here are your Monthly Home Maintenance Tips for April:

General walk through: Check gutters and downspouts for water back-up. Make sure water properly drains away from foundation. Check for water leaks in basement.

Change/clean air filter in furnace. Check hot water heater for proper ventilation.

Check/add salt to water softener. Check smoke and fire alarms.

Spring yard clean-up: Remove dead grass, plants and shrubbery. Trim tree branches near roof.

Check lawn: Seed or sod where necessary. Apply fertilizer and crabgrass control. Do not use on new grass seed.

Change storms/screens and open combination storms where desired. Check screens for holes and repair where necessary.

Begin garden and exterior planting when the ground temperature permits it.
