What should I do in the fall to protect my home?

Clean gutters thoroughly after leaves have fallen. Have your heating system inspected and serviced. Seal cracks in the driveway and walkways before winter freeze-thaw cycles. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Store outdoor furniture, winterize sprinkler systems, and apply fall fertilizer to your lawn. Inspect your roof and chimney for damage.

Why It Matters

Fall is the season of preparation. Completing these tasks before winter ensures your home is protected when cold weather arrives.
