		Garage Maintenance. Learning how to maintain a residential garage door is key to operating it efficiently. A malfunction can prevent you from taking your car out of the garage when you want to. Regular maintenance twice a year can make such mishaps less likely. INFO: Visually inspect the door, perform safety tests, examine hardware for defects, service the chain or belt, service seals & springs, clean the garage door surface, replace batteries & bulbs, & Reduce friction between the door & the stop. Adjust the opening & closing speed.
		The Garage Baseline Components are reviewed for presence, general condition, and visible signs of damage or deterioration where accessible. This includes wall and ceiling finishes, visible framing, overhead door assemblies, fire separation elements, service doors, and accessible electrical components. Accessible areas are checked for moisture damage, staining, cracks, corrosion, pest activity, and improper storage or clearance to combustibles.

		Insulation - Depth Observations included insulation depth, vapour barrier presence, coverage consistency, & visible gaps. See also Insurance Section.

Attic +

		The Crown’ The roof structure of a home is composed of several critical elements. Rafters and trusses, made from wood or metal, form the skeleton of the roof, supporting the outer layers and shaping the roof’s slope and style. Sheathing, typically plywood or OSB, is attached to the rafters/trusses, providing a base for roofing materials. Underlayment, a water-resistant layer, is placed over the sheathing for added protection against moisture. The roof covering, which can be shingles, tiles, metal, or other materials, serves as the outermost barrier against weather elements. Flashing is used around vents, chimneys, and valleys to prevent leaks, and gutters are installed to channel water away from the structure.
		The Attic Baseline Components are reviewed for presence, general condition, and visible signs of damage or deterioration where accessible. This includes visible roof framing, sheathing, insulation, ventilation components, attic access, and observable wiring or mechanical penetrations. Accessible areas are checked for moisture staining, microbial growth, pest activity, displaced or compressed insulation, and improper ventilation. The review is limited to observable conditions without moving insulation, dismantling components, or evaluating concealed framing, wiring, or roof coverings.

		About Humidity’ Maintaining proper indoor relative humidity in winter is crucial to health and comfort. Cold air holds less moisture, leading to dry indoor air when heated. Optimal indoor humidity (30-50%) prevents respiratory issues, dry skin, and damage to wood furnishings. Balancing it with outdoor temperature prevents condensation on windows and mold growth, ensuring a healthy and comfortable living environment.
