May Home Health Checklist

Our May Home Health Checklist contains 24 practical tips for keeping your home in excellent working condition this month. This checklist covers many essential areas, including your home's plumbing items, with a focus on bathroom-specific plumbing needs.

Regular monthly maintenance of your bathroom plumbing is essential for ensuring everything functions well and lasts longer. Start with the toilet: check for any leaks, ensure the flushing mechanism operates smoothly, and consider using a toilet bowl cleaner to keep it fresh and minimize stains. For your bathtub and shower, it's important to clean and inspect the grout and caulking regularly to prevent mold and mildew growth. Additionally, be vigilant for any leaks or water damage around your fixtures—addressing these issues promptly can save you from bigger problems down the line. By taking these straightforward maintenance steps, you’ll help keep your bathroom in great shape and maintain a welcoming environment.

Our ultimate aim with these monthly checklists is to help keep your home in tip-top shape while also avoiding costly insurance claims down the road.

Important Home Health Checklist Note:

These checklists help readers understand how their home functions, what to look for to reduce breakdowns, and the insurance claims that often follow. They are visual inspections designed to raise awareness of conditions that may need to be corrected before a breakdown occurs. The actions are generic recommendations and are not designed to replace or supersede manufacturer recommendations; they are general instructions to raise awareness of your home’s health.

Each month, we will publish the checklists recommended to be performed during that month. Click the links below to access the May PDF checklists related to your home.
