How to Get Your Property Ready for Fall

As summer fades into fall, it’s the perfect time to prepare your property for the cooler months ahead. In Virginia Beach, VA, fall brings not only beautiful scenery but also seasonal maintenance challenges like falling leaves, fluctuating temperatures, and increased moisture from autumn rains. Without proper preparation, small issues can escalate into bigger problems by winter. At REZ Home Services, we help property owners stay ahead of seasonal maintenance so their homes remain safe, efficient, and in top shape.


Key Fall Property Maintenance Tips

1. Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Falling leaves and debris can clog gutters, causing water to back up and damage your roof, siding, or foundation. Keeping gutters clear ensures proper drainage and prevents costly water damage.


2. Inspect Your Roof and Windows

Fall storms and windy days can reveal weak spots in your roof or gaps around windows and doors. Addressing these now prevents leaks, drafts, and energy loss as colder weather arrives.


3. Service Heating Systems

Your HVAC system will soon switch from cooling to heating. A professional inspection ensures it runs safely and efficiently throughout the fall and winter seasons.


4. Prepare Your Yard

Fallen leaves left unattended can suffocate your lawn, while overgrown shrubs may cause moisture buildup against your home. Seasonal lawn care helps keep your property healthy and attractive.


5. Check for Moisture and Mold Risks

Virginia Beach’s humid fall climate can encourage mold growth in basements, attics, and crawlspaces. A quick inspection and proactive measures help you avoid health and structural issues.
