Weekly Testing for your House

Ok, we have all been there at one time or another. We have gotten so relaxed with our lives that something goes wrong and we know that we could have prevented it if only we had paid a bit more attention. You can set yourself on a simple schedule to check a few items to help prevent a larger disaster.

Set a day once a week that you walk down the hallway and check your carbon monixide tester (if you have any gas appliance in your you will really want one of these)

Now walk in your utility room and take peek at the hot water heater. Is there any water dripping out of the faucet? Do you see a puddle on the floor? These small drips or puddles can become big trouble if you don't notice them.

Don't forget each time you do laundry to clean out the lint trap. This will help your clothes dry faster, your drier will be more effecient and you will reduce the risk of fire.
