Replace your weatherstripping – Look for old weatherstripping and replace it. Doing so will help keep air from leaking in and out, as well as prevent moisture from seeping in, which could lead to water damage, mold, or mildew.
- Take care of hoses – The summer heat can cause your hoses to expand, and the UV rays can weaken them. In order to prolong the life of your hoses, straighten them out and wind them up after use.
- Unclog your showerheads – Odds are you’ll be using your shower plenty this summer, so make sure they are in good shape by removing them and soaking them in a vinegar solution to help dislodge hard-water deposits.
