26.06 - Simple Attic Maintenance That Protects Your Home (and Its Value)
<p>Your attic plays a bigger role in your home’s health, safety, and value than most homeowners realize. In this episode of New Homeowner 101, we wrap up our attic series with simple, practical attic maintenance tasks that protect your house, lower energy bills, and prevent expensive repairs down the road.We kick things off by welcoming listeners back for the final part of the series and explaining why consistent attic care matters—not just for comfort, but for long-term home value and safety. Even small DIY steps can make a measurable difference.Next, we dive into DIY attic maintenance basics you can handle yourself. Learn why inspecting your attic twice per year (especially in spring and fall) is key to catching problems early. We cover how to seal air leaks around vents, pipes, and attic hatches, improve insulation for better energy efficiency, and clean out clutter that attracts pests.
