Hello. Summer is here in North Vancouver. Use this guide to protect your home. Follow these steps to maintain your property.
Inspect Gutters and Downspouts
Check your gutters for leaves. Remove debris, then flush with water. Verify water flows away from your foundation. North Vancouver rain is heavy. Clear gutters prevent roof damage. Look for sagging sections. Tighten brackets, then test again. Ensure downspouts connect to drains.
Maintain Your Deck
Walk on your deck. Look for soft spots. Inspect boards for rot. Tighten loose screws, then sand rough edges. Check railings for stability. Apply sealer, then let dry. Protect wood from sun and moisture. Inspect the stairs. Fix wobbles, then check the ledger board. Verify the connection to your house is secure.
Seal Windows and Doors
Check exterior windows. Look for gaps in caulk. Remove old caulk, then apply new silicone. This keeps heat out. Inspect weatherstripping on doors. Replace worn strips, then test the seal. Check door hinges. Lubricate hardware, then tighten screws. Ensure locks work correctly.
Check Exterior Siding
Inspect your siding for cracks. Look for moss or algae. Scrub walls with water, then rinse. Patch holes in stucco or wood. Inspect trim around corners. Paint bare spots, then check for pests. Look for ant trails. Seal entry points, then trim branches away from walls.
Service Your Smart Home and Safety Devices
Test smoke alarms. Replace batteries, then press the test button. Check carbon monoxide detectors. Clean dust from sensors. Update smart doorbell firmware. Check exterior camera mounts. Tighten screws, then clean the lenses.
