Clean & Seal Grout

Tile is beautiful and durable, but grout lines can quickly become an unsightly mess if not properly maintained. Tile grout is fairly porous, meaning it absorbs water and stains easily. The best method to avoid these stains is a regular cleaning and resealing. It’s pretty easy and should be done for any of your tile areas, including floors, bathrooms, and countertops.

Inspect Attic

Your attic is not just an empty space to store the Christmas ornaments but rather a carefully designed aspect of your home that ensures many years of durability, energy efficiency, and comfort. While your attic should be relatively maintenance free, it is wise to complete an annual inspection for any signs of water damage, mold, pests, or other issues.

Clean Carpets

It’s been said that your carpet is the biggest air filter in your house, which is unfortunately true. Everything from pet hair to dirt and dust to mites all collect in the fibers of your carpet. While regular vacuuming helps, a good deep clean with a steam cleaner is recommended at least annually to keep carpet lasting a long time.

Caulk Kitchen & Bath

Caulking around plumbing fixtures such as showers, toilets and sinks is done primarily to prevent water damage. Left unchecked, poor caulking around sinks, faucets, showers, and baths will allow water seepage and result in unseen mold and rot. Kitchen and bath appliances should be inspected annually and will likely need new caulk every 3-5 years.

Clean & Seal Natural Stone

Granite, slate, marble, travertine, and other natural stones require regularly sealing to help avoid staining and water intrusion. This task is easy to do and doesn’t take very long, but should be planned over 2-3 days to allow the stone to dry after cleaning and applying the sealant. 

Inspect & Service Plumbing

Plumbing is one of those things that we take for granted and don’t think much about….until it starts to leak or something stops working. Completing a regular inspection and basic service may save you a lot of money and headache later. Learn how here.
