🍂 Fall Home Maintenance Checklist

---

Save Money & Stay Cozy This Winter 🏡

As the crisp fall air settles in around Charlotte, NC, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the colder months ahead. 🍁 Many homeowners enjoy the beauty of autumn leaves, but what most don’t realize is that this season can also bring hidden dangers to your home if you don’t stay on top of maintenance.

At ClearFlow Home Maintenance, we believe in helping homeowners stay safe, save money, and keep their homes cozy year-round. Here’s your detailed Fall Home Maintenance Checklist — simple, practical steps to protect your home before winter arrives.

✅ 1. Clean Your Gutters & Downspouts 🪜💧

Fall leaves may look pretty, but when they pile up in your gutters, they cause clogs, leaks, and water damage. Clogged gutters can lead to:

• Overflowing water damaging your siding and foundation

• Roof leaks from trapped moisture

• Pest infestations (yes, rodents and insects love clogged gutters!)

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re in Charlotte, schedule a professional gutter cleaning service with ClearFlow Home Maintenance. One slip off a ladder can cost you thousands in medical bills — leave the dangerous work to us.

✅ 2. Inspect Roof & Flashing 🏠🔍

Your roof is your home’s first defense against Charlotte’s fall storms and winter weather. Take a few minutes to:

• Look for missing or curled shingles

• Check flashing around chimneys and vents

• Spot signs of wear before leaks form

Small problems now = big savings later. A roof inspection during the fall ensures you’re ready for heavy rains and cold temperatures.

✅ 3. Check Insulation & Weather Stripping ❄️💡

Don’t let warm air — and your money — slip through the cracks this winter! Inspect:

• Door frames & windows for gaps

• Attic insulation for wear or thin spots

• Weather stripping around entry doors

Sealing leaks and improving insulation can lower your energy bills and keep your home cozy all winter long. 🏡🔥

✅ 4. Drain & Store Outdoor Hoses 🚿❌

Charlotte winters may be mild compared to up north, but freezing nights still happen. Leaving water in your outdoor hoses or spigots can cause:

• Burst hoses

• Cracked spigots

• Costly plumbing repairs

Take a few minutes to drain hoses, shut off exterior water valves, and store hoses in your garage or shed.

🍁 Why Seasonal Maintenance Matters

Homeowners often underestimate the importance of seasonal home maintenance. Think of it as preventive care for your home — just like a checkup at the doctor. By spending a little time now, you can:✅ Avoid expensive repairs later✅ Increase your home’s value✅ Enjoy peace of mind all winter long
