Summer Home Tips
August 5, 2010
Wondering what you should be doing to maintain your home and ensure the safety of the people within it? Each season gives opportunities to complete different tasks that can prolong the life and safety of the materials, amenities and appliances within your home as well as maintain the overall condition and value of your biggest investment. Here’s a few suggestions for the summer:
Check all recreational equipment and review outdoor safety tips
Check your wood deck or concrete patio for possible deterioration
Make sure there are working nightlights at the top and bottom of all stairs
Check exterior siding
Check all window and door locks for proper operation
Have your roof inspected for potential leaks once every few years
Inspect and clean dust from the covers of your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
Check your home for water leaks
Check the water hoses on the clothes washer, refrigerator icemaker and dishwasher for cracks and bubbles
Check your water heater
Clean the clothes dryer exhaust duct, damper and space under the dryer
Socialize your dog to help reduce potential dog bites
And For Your Pool…
Pool equipment should be checked frequently.
On your diving board, make sure bolts are tightened, the base is secured to the concrete, and surfaces are slip-resistant.
Make sure there is secure fencing around any pool to keep children and unauthorized individuals from the pool area. All gates should be self-closing and lockable.
Make sure there is rescue equipment around the pool.
Depth markings should be completely visible to all swimmers.
Secure all grates and drains so they cannot be removed without the use of tools. Instruct all swimmers on the dangers of entrapment and drowning that can occur when fingers, toes or the body come too close to these items.
