How to Prepare Your Home for Fall in Vancouver
Prepare your Vancouver home for fall by: cleaning gutters and downspouts, inspecting the roof for damage, sealing gaps around windows and doors, servicing your furnace, testing smoke/CO detectors, and draining outdoor faucets.
Vancouver's fall brings heavy rain, falling leaves, and cooling temperatures. Preparing your home before the wet season hits can prevent costly water damage and keep your family comfortable. Here's your fall prep checklist.
