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!
Noisy Pipes and Ductwork
Changes in temperature of the water flowing through pipes will cause some noise. This is normal and requires no repair.
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.
Clogged Pipes
Many plumbing clogs happen in the p-trap, the curved portion of the drain pipe under the sink and are caused by improper garbage disposal use.
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.
Caulking and Grouting
Periodic inspection and caulking or grouting is a homeowner maintenance responsibility and will prevent costly repairs if done regularly.
Air Conditioning System
To utilize your air conditioning system fully and efficiently, you should understand that it is a total, whole-house system.
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.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Smoke detectors are hard wired for constant power and uses a battery backup for emergency power.
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.
