Editorial review: August 12, 2026 · Evelyn M. Hartwell

Start at ground level

Look for visible drainage issues, debris, damaged surfaces and moisture changes from safe locations.

Review exterior seals and openings

Record damaged caulking, screens or weather seals for later repair.

Check cooling readiness

Review filter and service records before heavy cooling season.

Schedule height or specialist work

Roof, chimney, electrical and other hazardous inspections belong with qualified providers.
