Seasonal Home Maintenance Plan for Utah Homeowners
Buying a home is the start, not the finish. A simple seasonal routine protects your home's value, keeps repair bills small, and makes things easier on the day you decide to sell. I built this plan for homeowners in Salt Lake City, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights and Park City, around the conditions we actually live with: hard water, dry summers and real winters.
Spring (March-May)
Flush hard-water sediment from your water heater, turn the sprinklers back on and check for freeze damage, and get your AC or swamp cooler ready before the heat. See the spring plan
Summer (June-August)
Inspect the roof after spring storms, look for slow plumbing leaks, and trim trees and shrubs back from the house. See the summer plan
Fall (September-November)
Blow out your sprinkler lines before the first hard freeze, service the furnace, clean the chimney, and clear the gutters once the leaves are down. See the fall plan
Winter (December-February)
Protect pipes from freezing, change furnace filters, test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and watch the roof for ice dams. See the winter plan
