Making sure your home is well-maintained throughout the year is a daunting task. Fortunately, it’s not impossible to do—you just need to stick to several home maintenance goals throughout the year.
- Keep Your Gutters Clean
Cleaning your gutters can get tedious at times, but a gutter system that’s free of clogs is essential to protecting your home from moisture damage. Your gutters are responsible for diverting rainwater away from your roof and foundation, so you need to keep them free of any clogs.
Unfortunately, most homeowners just don’t have the time to clean their gutters. They usually have two options: Hire a professional to clean their gutters or clean their gutters themselves. What many don’t realize is that there’s a third option: gutter guards. Designed to prevent leaves and other debris from entering your gutters, they reduce gutter maintenance requirements. Keep in mind that gutter guards can only reduce, not eliminate, the need for gutter maintenance; that is except for Gutter Helmet®, which has a Never Clean Your Gutters Again® guarantee.

- Inspect Your Plumbing
If your gutters are clogged, overflowing water can seep into your interior and foundation, causing moisture damage. While gutter and roof leaks are the usual colprits, leaky plumbing might be to blame here. However, since water follows the path of least resistance, the area that was damaged will be quite far from the actual source of the leak. This is the primary reason why homeowners fail to notice the issue until the damage has started to affect. Keeping your gutters clean and maintaining your plumbing throughout the year can help prevent moisture damage.
- Declutter
It woold be a good idea to declutter or at least organize your belongings at least once a week. Not only does decluttering help improve indoor comfort, but it will also help you spot signs of damage and have them fixed sooner. For all you know, some of your furniture might be hiding water stains.
