Home Maintenance Videos
As a home owner, there are a variety of maintenance items that you will likely need to address over time in order to keep your home looking great and working properly. The helpful videos below will walk you through several typical home maintenance projects. We will be adding to this list periodically, so be sure to check back often for new videos!
Circuit Breakers and GFI Outlets
Circuit breakers are sensitive systems which trip easily to prevent electrical shock, typically found in your basement or mechanical room.
Concrete Foundations and Driveways
By its nature, concrete develops cracks over time. This is normal and can be expected, despite all precautions taken during installation.
Gutters and Downspouts
To protect your basement from water intrusion, avoid having standing water against the foundation walls of your home.
Garage Doors
Garage doors and openers should be kept in good working order for both longevity and safety purposes.
Sodding and Grading
After closing, sod is the most maintenance intensive component for your new home. This is what will take the most time and energy to properly care for in the first weeks after closing day.
Exterior and Interior Doors
It is important to check your exterior and interior doors often to keep them properly maintained.
Drywall and Paint
Throughout your first year of ownership as your home goes through the various weather seasons, some slight cracking, nail “pops”, or drywall seams may become visible on walls or ceilings.
Testing Your Sump Pump
Some homes have been equipped with an interior sump pump system. It is designed to keep groundwater from entering your basement.
Water Shut Offs
The main water shut off is typically located in the basement near the front foundation wall or in the mechanical room but are also installed for each vanity and toilet in the home.
