September home maintenance priorities for Strongsville

With a cool, dry fall on the horizon, September offers a prime opportunity to prepare for winter:

• Check walkways for cracks: “Fix walkway and entryway areas before slippery weather can cause a tripping or falling accident,” advises Ryan Williams, general manager of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric.
  
• Clean siding: After summer humidity, Chris Granger of Sears Home Services notes that siding can show mildew or dirt. A good pressure wash can refresh curb appeal and uncover hidden issues.
  
• Sweep the chimney: Even if warmer days linger, cooler nights will arrive. “Built-up soot in your chimney can increase your risk of a chimney fire,” warns Lindsey Pasieka of ConsumerSafety.org.
  
• Change HVAC filters: Dirty filters reduce efficiency and can damage systems over time. Granger recommends replacing them monthly to keep bills in check.
