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.

Proper monthly maintenance of bathroom plumbing areas is crucial for ensuring their optimal functionality and longevity. For the toilet, it's important to check for any signs of leaks, ensure that the flushing mechanism is working smoothly, and consider adding a toilet bowl cleaner to prevent stains and mineral buildup. When it comes to the bathtub and shower stalls, regular cleaning and inspection of grout and caulking are essential to prevent mold and mildew growth. Additionally, checking for any leaks or water damage around the fixtures and addressing them promptly can help prevent more significant issues down the line. Taking these proactive maintenance steps can contribute to a well-functioning and hygienic bathroom 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.
