Fall Maintenance Tips For Your Omaha, NE Home
A few weeks ago we talked about ways to transition your home from summer to fall when it comes to decor (see post here), but today we are going to be discussing the maintenance side of things. Not quite sure where to start? We have you covered with a few items below to check in on around your home. Let’s dive right in!
-Keep an eye on your irrigation system and be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instruction to protect the integrity and functionality of the sprinkler system. *Also, keep in mind that seasonal rainfall will hydrate your foliage so you may want to set (or reset) the system accordingly.
-To prevent little critters coming inside to escape the cold, make sure to cover large holes in walls and, if you have an attic, check the insulation for damage from the pesky critters.
-Fix any cracks in your driveway. Many people don’t realize that when water gets into the cracks it freezes, expands and can eventually end up making the crack bigger which leads to larger problems down the road.
-Check around the exterior of your home for inexpensive maintenance projects that you will be able to tackle quickly such as cleaning the gutters/downspouts, trimming greenery to prevent damage, check the roof for missing/loose shingles, caulking, etc.
-Consider adding whetherstripping around the frames of doors and windows in your home to help keep the warmth in and energy costs down. If you have drafty doors, you can also add door sweeps to the base to help keep cold air out.
-In order to prevent water freezing, drain and disconnect all garden hoses from outside spigots.
-Lastly, remember to change your filters and schedule a chimney cleaning and heating system maintenance.

Before we jump into the main topic of today’s blog post, it is important to understand exactly what a foreclosure is. A foreclosure is a property that has been seized by the bank who originally gave the owner the loan. In each mortgage contract there is what’s called a ‘lien’ on the property which allows the bank to take control of the property in the event the borrower fails to make mortgage payments.
