Preventative Maintenance Tips
Enjoy the experience of being ProActiv™
Get ProActiv With Your Summer Maintenance
The official start of summer is here and so is the summer weather. Performing preventive summer maintenance is a terrific way to ensure things run smoothly at home, giving you more time to get out and enjoy the warm weather with your family and friends.
Preventive home maintenance can help you avoid costly repairs and replacements and even increase your home’s value. ProActiv has a summer maintenance checklist we follow for our clients and in our own homes.
One client told ProActiv they love summer, but the sunlight reveals more cobwebs. As they see the cobwebs, they also notice the peeling drywall. Each issue seems to reveal another issue, and they feel overwhelmed.
If you’re unsure where to start with summer maintenance, then ProActiv can help. With our guidance, you’ll have your home in tip-top shape, so you can get out and experience your summer.

Your Summer Maintenance Checklist
WINDOWS
- Inspect the caulking around the windows and doors, both inside your home and outside.
ROOF
- Consider a professional roof inspection, as proper roof maintenance ensures it lasts as long as possible.
GUTTERS
- Inspect your gutters to see if they need cleaned. Check for a buildup of leaves and other debris.
FOUNDATION
- Inspect the foundation for cracks or leaks, which create entry points for groundwater, insects, and radon gas.
DECK
- Check for any rotting boards and replace them.
- Secure any loose nails or screws.
- Check if your deck needs resealing by pouring a little water on it. If it beads into little puddles, no need to reseal. If it sinks into the wood, it’s time to reseal.
OUTDOOR FAUCETS
- Check for outdoor leaks in all outdoor faucets and hoses to avoid high water bills.
DETECTORS
- Inspect smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and change the batteries
BATHROOM
- Clean drains and faucet traps, as well as the bathroom fan vent.
FANS
- Set your ceiling fans to rotate the blades counterclockwise, creating a downdraft.
LAUNDRY ROOM
- Clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct.
HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning)
- Have a qualified specialist inspect the HVAC system.
- Change your HVAC system filter.
Tips To Get Started
- Set one or two days a week with the family to check off an area on your summer maintenance list.

- Last but not least DO NOT BE OVERWHELMED!!!
