Here are your Monthly Home Maintenance Tips For March:

General walk through: Check for disconnected downspouts and gutter back-up and any water leaks in basement.

Change/clean air filter in furnace. Check temperature and pressure gauges if you have a system with a boiler.

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

Check along roof eaves and gutters during melts for ice build-up and possible ice dams. Maintain proper drainage during melts.

Begin planning Spring and Summer projects!

It will officially be spring in another couple weeks and garden and landscaping shows are already starting.
