Home Maintenance Checklist

It is a good idea to perform routine maintenance tasks to ensure your home is safe and in good repair. Time invested in maintenance could save you frustration and expense in the future. We have prepared a home maintenance schedule so that you can keep a current record of when you completed the suggested home maintenance checks.

The charts in the attached document list checks that should be performed on a regular basis to keep your home in good repair and in a safe condition. The columns to the left indicate when and how often these tasks should be performed. Beside the “X” in the appropriate box, you should indicate the actual date that each task was last performed.

Keeping this schedule current and routinely completing these tasks could save you time and money in the future and prevent loss or damage to your home.

Home Inventory Form
An up-to-date inventory of your possessions and a record of their value will be helpful to you, your insurer, police and others in the event of a burglary or fire. After a loss, it could be difficult for you to recall the details of things that are now damaged or missing.
Why you should complete a household inventory:

Years of experience has taught our claims representatives that it can be difficult for our customers to remember what possessions they have and an approximate value of each item when they suffer a loss, due to fire, theft or other unfortunate event. Completing this inventory will also help you and your broker to determine whether or not your policy provides adequate coverage for all of your belongings.
Tips for completing this household inventory:

It is best to bring this inventory form with you, moving methodically from room to room in your home. It may be helpful to bring a camera, video camera or audiocassette recorder along to assist in capturing the details of your items. Be sure to include serial numbers if applicable and consider engraving unmarked items with your driver’s license number to help the police identify your property if it is recovered after a theft.

Remember to include items stored in closets, cabinets, drawers, attic, shed or garage and the exterior of your home. Most policies limit the amount of reimbursement for theft of valuable items such as Jewellery, Artwork, Furs, Coins, Silverware, and Guns.
