Mold can be a sneaky problem, causing health issues and property damage. Here’s how to keep it at bay:

Roof TLC

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Keep it in good shape with these tips:

  • Inspect for Damage: Look for cracked or missing shingles and replace them.

  • Clean Debris: Remove leaves and other debris from your roof regularly.

  • Watch for Critters: Check for signs of animals trying to make your roof their home.



Clear the Drains

Avoid plumbing nightmares with these simple routines:

  • Use Natural Cleaners: Once a month, use a natural drain cleaner to keep your pipes clear.

  • Be Mindful of Waste: Avoid putting grease and large food scraps down your drains.

Freshen Up the Dishwasher

Keep your dishwasher running smoothly and smelling fresh:

  • Baking Soda Clean: Sprinkle baking soda on the bottom and run a hot cycle with an empty dishwasher.

  • Wipe Seals: Regularly clean the door seals and edges to prevent buildup.




Air Quality Check

Good air quality is essential for a healthy home:

  • Replace Filters: Change your HVAC filters every three months, or more often if you have pets or allergies.
