Fall Home Maintenance Tips

Fall signals cooler weather, and the pleasant temperatures let you comfortably do necessary fall home maintenance before winter arrives. By taking the time to maintain your home each season, you can keep common household problems at bay. Click the image to view and download the full infographic.

Clean Gutters and Downspouts. Clear leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent flooding and freezing around your foundation. Check Your Roof
for Signs of Damage. Carefully check your roof for signs of leaks or other damage. Fall is a good time to hire a professional to perform a roof inspection. Check Furnace Filters. Inspect your furnace and replace the furnace filters. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors. Test all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. It’s best to replace batteries annually. A good reminder is when daylight savings time ends in November. Prep Your Lawn. Rake leaves, fertilize and aerate your lawn, so you are prepared when spring arrives. Store Hoses. Remove hoses from spigots. Drain and store them indoors, ensuring they are coiled and flat. Stock Up on Wood or Pellets. If you have a fireplace
or woodstove, it’s a good idea to stock up on wood or pellets during the fall months before winter hits. Swap Window Screens for Storm Windows. Remove screens and install storm windows. Clean
and repair screens before storing them in the basement or garage. Clean Windows and Doors. Clean windows and any sliding door tracks to ensure they operate smoothly all year long. Drain Gas From Yard Equipment. Empty gas from your lawn tools before winter arrives. Gasoline can damage rubber parts if it’s left in equipment.

Jeans Days Mean Community Support

Evergreen loves helping our community! We support many local efforts.

One fun way we collect donations is through the Jeans Day program. Evergreen staff can wear jeans to work on Fridays for a small donation to a local fund. The donations are matched by the company and donated every few months to a deserving local organization.

A recent donation was made to the Dauntless Fire Department in Ebensburg, Pa. Shown is Evergreen’s Caitlyn Altimus presenting the check to the Dauntless team.

Harvesting Equipment

Harvesting equipment is some of the most dangerous machinery you will encounter on the job. You may be less familiar with the seasonal equipment that is used only several days of the year, and you may not be completely aware of the risks associated with harvesting tasks. Before the harvest, familiarize yourself with the equipment and click the image to read or download our Harvesting Equipment tip sheet.
