Clean Your Home’s Exterior! Prepare for Spring!

Spring is just around the corner, but is your home prepared? Winter can be harsh on a home’s exterior, so when springtime comes around your home may be in need of a little facelift.

For starters, gutters can become clogged with fallen leaves and debris pretty quickly during fall and winter. Clogged gutters, if left untreated, can cause a lot of issues in the spring, such as damage to your roof, foundation, walls, and doors. Blocked gutters can even result in avoidable injuries if water starts overflowing onto walkways or driveways. So, when preparing for spring, gutters should definitely be on the list! All it takes is some work gloves and a ladder to prevent any unnecessary damages from happening in the future. Don’t have a ladder? Rent one. Ladders are easy and inexpensive to rent, especially from Action Rentals!

Another important aspect of home preparation in the springtime is pressure washing. Winter can make any exterior look faded or grimy, but a good power wash can really renew the look of your home. Pressure washing helps prevent dirt and mildew from diminishing the look of your paint and siding, ultimately saving you money and maintaining or improving the value of your home. Pressure washing is an easy and beneficial home maintenance routine that should be completed at least yearly. When deciding which tools you would need for pressure washing your home, Action Rentals is here to help. The professionals at Action Rentals can tell you what you’ll need for this project and many more!

Renting a power washer, ladder, or any equipment from Action is easy. Let Action’s knowledgeable professionals help you get the right tools for your spring projects and help your home look better than ever before!

Prepare Your Home For Winter

Winter can be harsh on your home, but there are ways to help make sure it’s protected throughout the cold winter months.

Winter can be especially hard on your roof, but by taking the proper precautions, you can save yourself some of the headache (and money) this season. A backed up or clogged gutter can cause ice dams, roof damage, and broken gutter systems. Before winter strikes, be sure and check out your gutters yourself! If you want to save the added expense of paying someone to clean out your gutters, you can do that as well!

Freezing or backed up pipes can be a real issue in the wintertime. If a pipe becomes too clogged or frozen during the winter, your home could suffer some serious damages. Clogged pipes can bust faster if they become frozen and clogged pipes can also become backed up quickly. In order to insure clogged pipes don’t get backed up or freeze, it is best to clean them out before the weather gets too bad. Using an electric drain cleaner is best before winter to insure the best results. Utilizing a drain camera may also help to locate clogs and better help you to remove them. If your pipes do become frozen, however, you will need to thaw them before trying to use water. A frozen pipe will need to be thawed out with a hair dryer, heating pad, or, for best results, a pipe thawer.

While preparing for winter, remember to stop by Action Rentals and get all the tools you’ll need. Action has all the ladders that can get you up there to inspect your gutters and roofing, without costing you a fortune. Acton also offers a variety of pluming equipment, including electric drain cleaners, drain cameras, and pipe thawers!
