Fall Home Maintenance Checklist for Eastern Washington Homeowners
Fall in Eastern Washington means cooler nights, falling leaves, and the perfect time to prepare your home for winter. At Rim Rock Property Plus, we know how small preventative steps now can save you from costly repairs later. Here’s our essential fall home maintenance checklist for Spokane and surrounding areas.
1. Clean and Inspect Gutters
Clogged gutters can cause roof leaks and foundation damage. Clear out leaves and debris, and check for sagging or cracks.
2. Check Weather Seals
Cold drafts can drive up heating costs. Inspect doors and windows for worn weather stripping and reseal as needed.
3. Service Your Heating System
Have your HVAC or furnace inspected and filters changed. A tune-up can improve efficiency and extend system life.
4. Inspect the Roof
Look for missing or damaged shingles before heavy snow arrives. Early repairs prevent expensive water damage.
5. Protect Outdoor Plumbing
Drain hoses, shut off outdoor water lines, and insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing.
6. Schedule a Crawlspace & Attic Check
Moisture, pests, and insulation issues are common here in the PNW. An inspection now can prevent big problems later.
Why Hire a Pro?
While some tasks are DIY-friendly, others—like roof checks or crawlspace inspections—are safer and more effective with a professional. Rim Rock Property Plus offers quarterly maintenance plans and one-time repairs, with discounted rates for members.
