Spring Home Safety Checkup Tasks for MA Homeowners

Spring is finally in the air! As you make your way through spring cleaning, it’s also a great time to perform a home safety check. This should include yearly tasks that help your home remain safe for your family. Here’s a quick spring home safety checkup list for MA homeowners.

Replace, Replace, Replace

Several things throughout your home should be replaced regularly. Some have expiration dates while others simply degrade in effectiveness over time. Among them are:

  • Smoke Detector Batteries (unless you have the newer versions with 10-year sealed batteries)
  • Carbon Monoxide Detector Batteries
  • HVAC filters
  • Fire Extinguishers

Inspect & Repair

Winter weather and early spring winds can damage your home. Some damages are obvious and others may not be. To prevent further damage to your home, here are a few things to inspect and repair on the exterior of your property.

  • Roof Shingles
  • Siding
  • Exterior Steps & Walkways
  • Foundation Exterior

Scrape, Paint, and Tighten

The third category in our Spring home safety checkup for MA homeowners are things that might need routine scraping, painting, and tightening. These include:

  • Porches and Decks
  • Handrails (Interior & Exterior)
  • Wood Shingles/Siding
  • Wooden Play Sets
  • Fencing & Gates
  • Gutter Downspouts

Equipment to Service

Finally, our last category for Spring home safety checkup tasks for MA homeowners involves the equipment in your home. Systems tend to be expensive to replace. Routine maintenance can prevent issues and extend their usable life. Once a year, consider doing the following:

  • Service HVAC System
  • Flush Hot Water Tanks/Systems
  • Change/Clean Vacuum Machine Filters
  • Empty and Dry Out Humidifiers
  • Clothes Dryer Vents (Clear Lint Buildup)

By completing the above Spring home safety checkup tasks for MA homeowners, you’ll be fulfilling your home ownership duties and maintain a cleaner and safer home.
