Mark even the smallest problems cause when you take care of a small problem it is much cheaper and easier than to take care of the big problems.

2. Roof

Checking your roof isn’t always easy, especially if you are not skilled for it. But there are some things you can do yourself. Check your roof for leaks. If you have an attic than you can go up there with a flashlight and inspect both roof and attic for signs that there are leaks. If you inspect your home regularly then there shouldn’t be any unpleasant surprises there. You will be able to spot small cracks in roof or wet places on the attic floor and repair it right away. If you notice any unfixed shingles or tiles put them in their place right away. Check out the plumbing vents and if there are any cracks around them that need to be taken care of.
