After winter, inspect the roof, gutters, foundation, drainage, and outdoor systems for damage. Spring is also when to start sprinklers, service air conditioning, and clean up the yard.
Look for missing shingles, lifted flashing, and gutter damage from snow and ice. Check siding, paint, and stucco for cracks. Inspect decks for loose boards and railing wobble.
Test your sump pump by pouring water into the pit. Make sure downspouts discharge away from the house and that soil near the foundation still slopes outward. Check for damp spots or stains in the basement after spring melt and rain.
Replace HVAC filters and schedule an air conditioner tune-up before summer. Turn on irrigation in stages and check for leaks or broken heads. Reconnect outdoor hoses and test exterior faucets for drips.
Rake, aerate, and reseed bare spots. Trim shrubs after they bloom. Pull mulch away from siding, and refresh beds for curb appeal.
Spring storms can bring hail. After a storm, check the roof, vents, siding, and cars for damage, and photograph everything for insurance.
