Major home checks

There are some major checks that should be done on the house on a regular basis. For example the gutters and the downspouts should be checked regularly. When you check these areas, make sure that you remove the leaves and the debris that can be found on the gutters and the downspouts. You can re-attach the gutters that have been pulled away from the house. You can run a hose on the roof and check if there is proper drainage used. If you can note a leak in the area then you can dry first the area and use caulking or an epoxy to seal the leak. The siding should be checked too, and you can clean the siding with the pressure washer so as to keep the mold from growing. The wood surfaces should be checked for weathering and paint failure. Place attention on the exterior caulking and replace it if it is deteriorating.
