The leaves are changing color and falling, the temperatures are starting to get cooler, and by now, you’ve probably turned on your heater (unless, of course, you’re a die hard and won’t flip that switch until there’s a hard freeze). Fall is most definitely upon us, but with the change in season comes potential problems if you’re a homeowner.

To help get your mind thinking about those possible hazards, I’ve compiled some fall “to-do’s” and best practices for the most popular problematic areas. 

This certainly isn’t an all-inclusive list. There may be other household to-do’s to accomplish as well, but taking these simple steps during the fall can help protect your home and property from more potentially expensive damage and emergency repairs in the colder months to come.

If you have any questions about areas around your home and other potential hazards, feel free to reach out to me. I’d love to make sure your risk is limited as we head into fall and winter!
