    • Prepare for spring by inspecting and potentially replacing sprinkler system heads and checking for leaks or coverage issues.

Bi-Annually:

March – May (Spring):

  • Starve up and maintain your pool. Balance chemicals, clean filters, and address any equipment concerns.
    • Inspect and reapply exterior caulk around windows, doors, and siding to prevent water intrusion.

Annually:

  • Any Month:
    • Drain a small amount of water from your water heater to remove sediment and check for leaks.
