EP 383: 2026 Fall Checklist

It’s that time of year again! In episode 383, Steve will walk you through the annual Fall Checklist, a simple weekend routine to protect your home from mold, water damage, and fire hazards before freezing weather sets in.

Starting outside, he will cover the roof (and why Steve would never put wood shakes on a house), cleaning gutters, extending downspouts, grading and drainage, cracks in hard surfaces, siding and caulking, winterizing sprinklers and heat tape.

He will then head inside to cover the attic and crawl space to check insulation, vapor barriers, sump pumps, exhaust fans, address furnace service and filters (and why a higher MERV rating isn’t always better), whole-house humidifier settings, dryer vent cleaning, plumbing leaks, and smoke detectors.

We appreciate all of you and hope you have a great week.
