Summer maintenance tips

Keep in mind the following tips to ensure safety this summer.

Summer home tips:
  • Check your deck and patio for deterioration or safety hazards such as loose boards or protruding nails.
  • Check electrical outlets for potential fire hazards.  Also, be sure not to overload electrical outlets, fuse boxes, extension cords or any other power service.
  • Check all locks to make sure they are secure.
  • Inspect recreational equipment for proper operation and possible dangers.
  • Inspect your toilet for erosion of plastic floater valves and check all pipes.
  • Clean/replace your furnace filter.
  • Clean your dryer exhaust duct and space under the dryer by removing all lint, dust or other materials.
  • Inspect washing machine hoses and replace hoses that show signs of wear/leakage.
  • Have your roof inspected by a professional periodically.

Summer travel tips:

  • Don't overload when packing and if you are traveling by car, spread out the load so the weight is evenly distributed.
  • Be prepared.  Pack snacks, extra clothes, and fun items to keep your children entertained while you are in the car or on your flight.
  • Keep a clear view if you are traveling by car.  Make sure you maintain a proper line of sight with your mirrors and windows, because sometimes bags can get in the way.
  • Ready the roof rack by knowing your rack's weight limit and recognizing the height of your vehicle after packing.
  • Know the route that you are traveling before you hop in the car or depart for the airport.
  • Secure your pets to keep them distracting you while you drive.
  • Cruise carefully and wisely. 
  • Take a break when you are traveling long distances so that you can maintain focus and avoid fatigue.
  • Make sure your insurance is paid before you leave
