FALL HOA MAINTENANCE TIPS With winter on the way, fall is a time for preventative care. Take advantage of fall's agreeable temperatures and winterize your community, repairing, replacing, and updating the components and structures that are most susceptible to the cold. For fall, your maintenance plan should include: • Preparing buildings for wet weather. Clear gutters and clean out storm drains to ready these components for the increased water flow from snow. • Winterproofing outdoor pipes and water fixtures. Reinforce insulation and consider winterproofing faucets with covers to decrease the impact of the cold. • Repairing your pool after summer use. Test your pool's chemical balance, check the filters, and make sure the heater is up and running before shutting down your pool for the winter. • Assess tree health. Trim all trees to remove broken or dead branches and consult with an arborist if any trees appear unhealthy. • Inspecting community heating systems. Prepare fireplaces and update HVAC systems to keep residents warm. • Addressing issues in high-traffic areas. Secure handrails, repair uneven pavement, and inspect outdoor lighting to ensure outdoor areas are safe for residents. 3 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 12
