HVAC (service guide)
- Replace filters on schedule—often monthly when the system runs near continuously.
- Clear condensate drain lines; algae clogs cause ceiling stains that look like roof leaks.
- If one room never catches up, ask about airflow and duct boots before buying a bigger AC.
Foundation (service guide)
- Maintain even soil moisture around the slab—soaker hoses on a timer beat flooding one side.
- Note new sticking doors or diagonal cracks after dry spells; document with photos and dates.
- Keep gutters flowing so summer downpours do not dump against the foundation.
Plumbing (service guide)
- Watch the water bill for unexplained jumps—irrigation leaks and slab supply lines show here first.
- Insulate exposed pipes in hot attics and garages where cold-water lines can sweat heavily.
Pest control (service guide)
- Fire ants and scorpions peak in warm months—check entry gaps at weep holes and garage doors.
- Reduce standing water in saucers and drains to limit mosquitoes.
Prep for Georgetown fall (September–November)
- Schedule heating check before the first cold snap—furnace and heat-pump calls stack in October.
- Plan gutter cleaning after early leaf drop; clogged valleys cause interior stains in Teravista and Berry Creek.
- Trim trees away from the roof before fall storms and inspect flashing at penetrations.
- Compare HVAC tune-up pricing in our maintenance cost guide before calendars fill.
