Seasonal Home Maintenance Checklist: What Inspectors Look for Year‑Round

Homes in the Coachella Valley, Palm Springs, and High Desert face unique seasonal challenges due to our desert climate. At ABS Home Inspections, we know that staying ahead of maintenance can save you thousands in repairs.

Spring

• Check your roof for winter storm damage
• Service your HVAC system before summer heat
• Clean gutters and downspouts

Summer

• Inspect window seals to keep cool air in
• Check outdoor irrigation systems for leaks
• Look for signs of pest activity around your home

Fall

• Inspect your water heater for corrosion or leaks
• Seal cracks around windows and doors to keep energy costs down
• Check exterior paint or stucco for damage

Winter

• Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
