Roof, Gutters, Downspouts
  • Accumulated leaves and twigs cause excess
    moisture that causes rot
  • Tree limbs too close to house can scrape and
    loosen shingles, gutters, and downspouts
  • Check roofs every 6 months for loose shingles.

12
  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear. Check after a
    heavy storm or heavy leaf fall
  • If water cannot properly flow off the roof, it
    will backup into attic spaces and wall cavities,
    causing rot, mold, and termites.

13
Exterior Walls
  • Wood siding must be
  • monitored for rot and replaced as needed
  • painted or stained on regular basis to protect
    the wood from sun, wind, and rain.

14
  • Manufactured siding needs to be washed and
    painted on a regular basis

    loose boards

    mortar.

    and mildew

    annually
  • Termites feed on wood especially wood that is
    holding water.

Window and Doors
  • Need regular cleaning and checking for rot
  • Need to be inspected to make sure they are
    properly caulked and sealed
  • Caulk prevents air leakage, which is a major
    cause of higher heating and cooling costs.

    wears out over time.
