Sunday, September 20, 2026

Arizona’s extreme summer heat and monsoon storms can take a toll on our homes. In the first half of this episode of Solving Life’s Next Chapter, Lydia Wietsma talks with Raquel Uggiano about the essential fall home-maintenance tasks every Arizona homeowner should consider.

Lydia and Raquel discuss how to check for summer damage to roofs, windows, doors, exterior surfaces, irrigation systems, and landscaping. They also explain the importance of servicing your HVAC system, testing smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors, inspecting fireplaces and water heaters, adjusting fall watering schedules, and continuing proper pool maintenance as temperatures cool.

You’ll also learn what to look for before Arizona’s winter rain arrives, including clogged gutters, damaged roof tiles, stucco cracks, drainage concerns, plumbing leaks, and worn weather stripping.

A little preventive maintenance today can improve safety, increase energy efficiency, protect your property’s value, and help prevent expensive repairs later.

Listen to Solving Life’s Next Chapter with Lydia Wietsma and Raquel Uggiano for practical advice to help you protect your home throughout the changing seasons.
