Winter is officially over, but it left a few things behind. 👀🌱
As we start the spring season, it’s a good time to take a walk around your property and see what may need a little attention after the colder months.
A few places worth checking:
🏠 Roofing & ceilings — look for visible damage, leaks or signs of damp.
💧 Gutters & downpipes — clear leaves and debris and check that water can flow freely.
🧱 Walls & retaining walls — watch for new cracks, movement or deterioration.
🌧️ Drains & stormwater channels — make sure they’re clear before the summer rains arrive.
🌳 Trees & branches — look for damaged or overhanging branches that may become a problem later.
🔎 Around the property — keep an eye out for anything winter may have been a little hard on.
Why does this matter from an insurance perspective?
Maintenance and insurance don’t do the same job. Insurance is there for insured events, subject to the terms and conditions of your policy, while general wear, deterioration and maintenance remain important property-owner responsibilities.
A quick spring check may help you spot a small maintenance issue before it becomes a much bigger problem!
