New homeowner here and I cannot thank you enough! Lived in apartments all my life so I was clueless to all these things

@EverydayHomeRepairs 5 месяцев назад

Welcome to the channel and we are here to help 👍

@IlLLyy5 4 месяца назад

Same here. 😊 I never knew that I can change the water filters and go find the whole house shut off valve 😅

@pfcrow 2 года назад

I would add things like checking for WiFi firmware updates. Most people never think about that, but it's important to do.

@horlbecm 2 года назад

Great video! A few ideas: Regional - Fall: Clean out gutters of leaves/debris Regional (freeze zones)- Fall/Winter: Turn off exterior spigots & sprinkler system/store hoses/blow out sprinkler/install freeze guards on exterior spigots Regional - Spring (freeze zones): Turn on sprinkler/check for leaks Spring - Pressure Wash Concrete Sidewalks/Driveway/Porches Annual - Clean faucet/shower sediment filters Annual - Seal shower/bathroom tile grout (if req'd) Annual - Clean / lube garage door hinges/rollers/opener chain Seasonal - Check batteries for smart devices (door locks, sensors, etc)

Hey Michael, thanks for all the feedback. 👍👍

@TomCarberry413 2 года назад

I keep a plastic box under my kitchen and bathroom sinks. You can get them cheap at Target, Walmart, etc. If I have a slow leak it will go into the box. I learned this lesson when I had a very slow leak in my garbage disposal, which destroyed a few floorboards right by the sink. I store stuff in the box, so I don't lose any room under the sinks.

@jimwetzel1635 Год назад

Great idea. Also, in case you do need access to under-sink matters (plumbing or whatever), you can just pull out that whole box as a unit instead of the tens of cleaning products that get stored in those areas, one at a time.

@Sam-ey1nn 2 года назад

An "every few years" section might make sense too. I just replaced my hot water heater anodes recently.

@EverydayHomeRepairs 2 года назад

I debated that as well, thanks for the feedback.

@lesfogerson1092 2 года назад

Every five years is good where I live.

Replace your water supply lines to your sinks if the lines are more than 5 years old. Especially if they are still the builder grade. Replacing builder grade valves too.

@battlement 2 года назад

Nice! I'm going to use this to augment my quarterly checklist which includes running a defrost cycle on the fridge/freezer, washing the metal stove hood fan filter, cleaning the drain filter on the clothes washer, cleaning the drain filter and adding water softener salt to my dishwasher. Yearly I also lubricate all door hinges, pressure wash the garbage/compost/recycle bins and descale the furnace humidifier unit.

@Martin_Entertains 2 года назад

Thanks for this very helpful video. Also check for wiggle in balcony and stair rails. Since you opened the door with the lawn mower, I'm going to add an annual inspection of your vacuum cleaner. Check for clogged pathway, especially near the beater bar. Make sure the beater bar actual turns, and cut the accumulated hair off the beater bar.

@jimleslie6845 2 года назад

Great list. I would also include changing your smoke/CO detector batteries twice a year.

Snowblower every fall. Check battery backup monthly (ugh, mine runs all the time too) Checking caulk around replacement window at least yearly. Every 3 years replace water heater anode. I definitely need to check bathroom vent. Thanks for the video! I'll be watching next.

@lesfogerson1092 2 года назад

I always put a couple drops of light oil in the felt washers of my bathroom fans. Both sides of the motor has a hole to do this. The lint really sucks the motor dry over time. Air circulating fans have bushings so I do them too. Thanks for the videos.

I think you should add checking attics. I work as an apprentice electrician, and something we found often was heavy leaking from the roof that was not visible from the outside. And sometimes storm damage is internal, just like checking the crawl space for water. I would recommend doing it in the winter. No one wants to be in an attic during the summer🥵

@MontysHall 3 месяца назад

Very nice….😊

@randomdude3066 2 года назад

For under the sink leaks, I recommend putting a water alarm. These are battery powered and don't cost that much.

@HyperactiveNeuron 2 года назад

Great video and checklist. I would add, checking the shutoff valves for your individual sinks and toilets. It's not something you think about but if you have to replace a toilet flapper or a valve seat/spring set in a sink and those don't work you're only option is to shut off the cold water before your water heater or shut off the water at the curb. 2 years ago my mother asked me to fix 2 sinks that were dripping. No problem... But the shut off valves didn't work. They just spun. They were the older global style. I checked the rest of the house and I ended up having to replace all of the shutoff valves except the guest bath which was rarely used and the coldwater shutoff for the whole house. I also had to replace the valve seats and springs for all sinks. This would have been a enormous bill from a plumber. It's one thing to have them check but to have them actually break out tools... Totally different price range.

@EverydayHomeRepairs 2 года назад

Great feedback 👍

@CantankerousDave 2 года назад

My two bathroom sinks don’t *have* shutoff valves…

@jamessotherden5909 2 года назад

@@CantankerousDave I wish my two showers had shut off valves.

@CantankerousDave 2 года назад

The show/site Today’s Homeowner has a similar checklist called The Four Seasons of Home Ownership. It’s pretty similar.

@EverydayHomeRepairs 2 года назад

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like they have an awesome webpage 👍

@EeveePotter 2 года назад

One thing you should do before you use your AC for the summer is spray the condenser coils with the hose, knocking off the dirt. It will help with the efficiency of converting the liquid freon backing a gas and quicker cooling.

Good callout Jason, thanks for the help!

This is interesting, l like the full page. I always make lists on small notepads, rip the piece off and promptly lose it and my wife will wash it and that wife headshake happens. This is much better. Thanks Guru.

I have globe valves on all three of my toilets and sinks in the bathrooms and under the kitchen sink. I have a yearly alarm set on January first to exercises or turn off and on each shut off valve so they don't crust up and stop working.

You should try cleaning the lint from a dryer vent that goes thru the roof. Especially a two story metal roof. Lint collects quickly on hot roof vents

@dustintunis9347 2 года назад

I thought to flush the water heater you were supposed to leave the water on. The incoming water would help stir up sediment to where it can make it out the hose. If I'm wrong, then please explain why.

@sig9girl 2 года назад

Great tips! Thank you. My home is stucco, how can I clean the exterior? How do I find my exterior dryer vent to clean it?

@Doughboy1824 2 года назад

Turn the dryer on and go outside and walk around your house usually above 1 foot from the ground up. use gloves sometimes the cover is Sharp or it can have spiders. My dryer vent is on the exterior wall the other side is my dryer
