    Why House Maintenance Should Never Be Left to the Last Minute

    By Friends of Real MommaNovember 24, 2023No Comments3 Mins Read

    Your home has almost certainly been your most important life purchase and may be an important part of your eventual legacy. However, properties deteriorate if not maintained and can become expensive to repair if left too long in a state of disrepair. Your house maintenance should never be left to the last minute if you want to keep it looking good and repair costs low.

    An organized life

    The best way to keep on top of your house maintenance is to keep to a schedule, as it will help you to spot problems early. Carrying out regular checks is particularly important if you have young children in your family. For example, if your house has rotten window frames and you do nothing about them, you could be endangering your young child who may not understand their instability and lean against them, only to fall out of the window. You could also have faulty wiring or holes in floors that could cause injury.

    You could approach this house maintenance schedule by zoning, which is working through each room in your home in sequence. In the bathroom, for example, you could check on tiling, ensuring that the grouting is free of mold which could affect your family’s health, or that the seals on the windows and the plumbing are secure and not leaking, which could be cost you money in terms of water consumption and energy loss. In the kitchen, you should regularly check that all cupboard doors are secure and that small appliances do not have damaged power cables.

    The exterior of the house is just as important as the interior. You should check your roof from time to time to ensure that it is not missing any tiles that could be letting in water, which could rot the roof timbers. You should regularly check that all the doors are in good condition because these are your protection against the outside world. Broken windows and latches should be fixed as soon as possible and locks checked to ensure they are secure.

    This kind of security should also extend to your outbuildings, such as the garage. This area is particularly important, as it not only affects your grounded property but your moveable property, your car and other items, as well. Check over your entrance and if it is looking a little insecure, then contact a residential garage door service to affect any repairs.

    Lastly, you should tend to your heating and air conditioning systems on a regular basis. There is nothing worse than turning on the air conditioning on a blistering hot day only to find it does not work, or turning your heating on and nothing happens. Book an annual service for each of these to keep them in top condition.

    Preventative measures are the best way to maintain your house and keep any necessary repair costs to a minimum, so make a habit of checking over your property on a regular basis to spot minor issues before they become major problems.
