Spring has arrived, making it the perfect time to refresh and inspect your home for any seasonal maintenance needs. As a home inspector in Pinellas County, I see firsthand how seasonal changes affect homes. A little maintenance now can prevent costly repairs later.
Spring Home Maintenance Checklist
1️⃣ Roof & Gutters 🏠☀️Even mild weather changes can impact your roof over time. Inspect for missing shingles and clear out gutters to prevent leaks and water damage.
2️⃣ HVAC System Tune-Up ❄️🔥Before the Florida heat kicks in, ensure your AC system is running efficiently. Change filters and schedule a professional inspection if needed.
3️⃣ Check for Moisture & Mold 🌧️🔍Spring showers bring moisture concerns. Inspect your home’s foundation, windows, and doors for leaks, and address any mold or mildew growth.
4️⃣ Outdoor Spaces 🌿🛠️Inspect your deck, patio, and fencing for any seasonal wear and tear. Pressure wash surfaces, seal wood if needed, and trim overgrown landscaping away from your home.
5️⃣ Plumbing & Irrigation Check 🚰💦Florida homes often rely on irrigation systems. Test your sprinklers, check for leaks, and ensure proper drainage to avoid foundation issues.
Why Spring Inspections Matter
A spring home inspection can help identify small issues before they turn into expensive repairs. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just maintaining your home, an inspection provides peace of mind.
