As the weather cools and the holiday season approaches, now’s the perfect time to give your home a quick safety check. These 4 simple November tips will keep your home running smoothly and help you avoid costly surprises.
But first—let’s be honest…
You know the one.
The voice that says:
“I really should check those smoke detectors…”
“Was that water I just stepped in by the washing machine?”
“I’ll get to that garage door noise later…”
Weeks go by. Then months. Life gets busy. And before you know it, that little task you meant to get to turns into a big, stressful situation.
Last November, one of our San Diego clients came home from a long weekend to find water pooled around their laundry area. The culprit? A cracked washing machine hose that had likely been dripping for days. The repair was simple—but the water damage cleanup was not.
The frustrating part? They told us they had noticed the washer connection looked worn... but didn’t make time to deal with it.
Don’t let that be your story. These 4 tips take less than an hour, and you’ll feel way better checking them off your list—or having us take care of them for you.
Why it matters: A working smoke or carbon monoxide detector can literally save lives.

Why it matters: Your garage door is the largest moving part of your home — and one of the most overlooked.
Check the opener for smooth operation, inspect the safety sensors, and lubricate hinges and rollers as needed. Also, tighten any loose bolts and screws to prevent future issues.

Why it matters: A small hose leak can lead to big water damage fast.
Inspect the hot and cold water supply hoses — especially where they connect to the wall and the back of the machine. Look for any signs of cracking or corrosion. The rubber washers inside are a common culprit and can easily be replaced.
