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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Smoke detectors are hard wired for constant power and uses a battery backup for emergency power.
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.
Garage Doors
Garage doors and openers should be kept in good working order for both longevity and safety purposes.
Gas Shut Offs
Natural gas lines will have a main shut off valve located outside at the service meter, where the line enters the home from the exterior.
