Vigilant Observation:

• Documenting Findings: Maintain a record of any anomalies found during inspections to facilitate prompt action.

Focus on High-Traffic Areas:

• Priority to High-Use Spaces: Focus on inspecting high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways, which are more susceptible to wear.

3. Preventive Maintenance for Systems and Appliances

Systematic Maintenance:

4. Seasonal Maintenance Considerations

Tailoring Maintenance to Seasons:

• Gutter Cleaning: Clear gutters of debris in the fall to prevent water damage and inspect them in the spring for any winter-related damage.

• Roof Inspections: Schedule roof inspections before the rainy season to detect and fix potential leaks.
