Fall means that the temperatures are getting colder. This means that there is a need to have some work done around the house before the first freeze. A home is an investment, so you want to make sure that you are keeping it in the best condition possible. Eid-Co Homes wants to help you take care of your home the correct way. If improperly done or neglected entirely it could cause damage that would be costly. So be sure to follow the proper procedures that come with owning a home.

Shut Off the Water

One of the most important things that homeowners must remember is that they must turn off the water supply to the sprinkler system and then have it blown out. This will ensure that your home is properly taken care off. If this is neglected, then there may be serious consequences. The water in the pipes when frozen expand and cause the pipes to burst. The repercussions of this can be great causing flooding in the around the foundation, in the basement, and otherwise. The cost to fix the damages is high.

Clean Your Gutters

Another important task is to keep your gutters cleaned. Fall means that there are a lot of leaves falling. These leaves get stuck in the gutters and can cause a blockage. When there is a blockage to the flow of water it causes the water to run down the house. When this happens continually there can be severe damage to the foundation of your home. This means that you’re going to want to make sure to clean out your gutters now that most of the leaves have fallen of the trees.
