6 Ways to Spruce up Your Home for Spring in Germantown

Ah, spring is in the air! And what better way to welcome in the new season than with a good ol’ spring cleaning and house inspection.

Pulling back the draperies and throwing your windows open to let in some fresh air is a great start, but a weekend or two dedicated to some easy maintenance and will make your home feel spring-time new.  Here are more tried and true suggestions:

• Give your home a deep cleaning. Dust and vacuum vents, ducts, baseboard heaters, refrigerator coils and dryer vents. Not only will you breathe easier, your appliances and home comfort system will operate more efficiently.

• Check for leaks in your shower heads, faucets, toilets and pipes. It’s a great way to save water and stop a water leak before it has a chance to get worse.

• Save more water by replacing your faucets, showerheads, and toilets with low-flow models.

• If you have a storage tank water heater, have it professionally drained to remove built-up sediment and mineral deposits. You’ll enjoy cleaner, healthier water and increase your unit’s operating efficiency.

• Is your hot water heater older than 15 years? Perhaps it’s time to replace it with a space-saving, energy-efficient tankless water heater.

• Prevent mold growth and water damage by periodically re-grouting tile and laying down fresh caulk around your showers, bath tubs, and sinks.

• While washing your windows so you can see those flowering trees, take the time to check for any cracks in your window and door frames. Cracks can allow water in, which can cause wood rot and can lead to structural damage.
