Winter is Coming: Your Fall Home Maintenance Checklist!

Around the House® Home Improvement: A Deep Dive into Your Home

Alright, folks, it’s that time of year again! Eric G is dishing out his updated 2025 fall home maintenance checklist to prep your castle for the winter wonderland that’s just around the corner. You know, because who wants to deal with frozen pipes and other household catastrophes when it's freezing outside? We’re diving into all the must-do tasks, from cleaning out those pesky gutters to ensuring your garage door isn’t about to collapse under the weight of a snowstorm. Trust me, you’ll want to stick around for the juicy tips that’ll save you from turning your home into a winter disaster zone. So grab your notepad (or just hit pause and replay later, I won’t judge) and let’s get that big investment of yours all cozy and ready for the chill!

Takeaways:

• Eric G's fall home maintenance checklist is essential for prepping your home for winter weather. It's like giving your house a warm blanket before the cold hits!
• Don't forget to remove and store garden hoses before the freezing temperatures come to avoid burst pipes. Trust me, no one wants a mini geyser in their yard!
• Inspect your chimney regularly; chimney fires are a real threat. You don't want to turn your cozy wood-burning fireplace into a disaster zone, do you?
• Make sure your downspouts are directing water at least 10 feet away from your foundation to prevent water intrusion. Your foundation will thank you later!
• Always check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. They're like the bouncers of your home, keeping unwanted danger at bay!
• Rodents love to sneak in during the fall, so secure all entry points around your house. If they get in, it’s not just a mouse problem; it’s a full-on rodent rave!
