Inspect roofing materials for loose tiles or corrosion. Salt air can accelerate deterioration. Clean gutters so rainwater flows away from the foundation, and flush with water to dislodge sand and debris.
Examine for soft spots or rusted connectors. Tighten railings and use marine-grade sealant to protect wood surfaces. For composite decking, clean with mild detergent and rinse salt buildup regularly.
Salt spray can cause peeling and chalking. Pressure rinse gently to remove residue. Inspect stucco for cracks and repair promptly. For siding, check seals to prevent moisture intrusion.
Replace worn weatherstripping and lubricate sliding doors. Retractable sun shades or tempered glass film reduce solar heat gain and protect interiors.
Schedule inspections with a technician experienced in coastal homes. Replace air filters regularly and clear vegetation around outdoor condensers. Verify thermostat calibration for efficiency.
Check exposed plumbing for corrosion. Test irrigation valves and adjust schedules for sandy coastal soils. Confirm that drainage paths are clear to prevent pooling near foundations.
Schedule termite inspections. Maintain a buffer zone by keeping mulch away from siding. Seal gaps around utility penetrations and store firewood off the ground.
Run bathroom and kitchen fans to reduce humidity. Inspect attic ventilation and use desiccant packs in storage areas to limit dampness.
Select salt-tolerant plants and prune regularly to reduce wind load during storms. Inspect retaining walls and pathways for erosion. Refresh mulch to balance moisture retention and drainage.
