🗓️ September Home Maintenance Checklist
Keep your house from falling apart with these must-do tasks this month:
✅ Change AC filter – Especially if you didn’t in August
✅ Inspect roof for damage – Use binoculars or drone if possible
✅ Clean and inspect dryer vent – Lint build-up = fire risk

✅ Clean garbage disposal – Ice + vinegar or lemon peels
✅ Test GFCI outlets – Press “Test” and “Reset” on kitchen & bath outlets
✅ Lubricate garage door tracks – Use silicone spray
✅ Flush hot water heater – Drain a few gallons to reduce sediment
✅ Inspect fence/gates – Look for loose posts, warped boards
✅ Prep lawn for fall – Rake, fertilize, and seed thin spots
