Keeping your home safe is more than just locking the doors—it’s about being proactive with safety checks. At NexLevel Home Inspections, we believe every homeowner deserves peace of mind. That’s why we’ve created this safety guide to help you protect your home and family year-round.
🔥 Fire Safety Matters
Fire hazards are often overlooked, yet they are one of the biggest threats to a home. Regularly test your smoke alarms and replace batteries at least once a year. Don’t forget to keep a fire extinguisher in accessible areas such as the kitchen and garage. In addition, create and practice a family escape plan to ensure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.
⚡ Electrical Safety Checks
Overloaded outlets and damaged cords can cause serious risks. Inspect outlets for scorch marks and avoid plugging multiple high-energy devices into a single socket. Extension cords should be used temporarily, not permanently. If lights flicker often or breakers trip repeatedly, it’s time to call a professional.
🚰 Water Damage & Mold Prevention
Water leaks may seem small at first, but they can lead to costly structural issues and mold growth. Inspect under sinks, around toilets, and near your water heater for early signs of leaks. Installing a water sensor can give you an added layer of protection. Mold can grow quickly, so keeping your home dry is key to maintaining healthy air quality.
🪟 Window & Door Security
Strong windows and doors are the first line of defense against intruders. Ensure that all locks are working properly and consider installing deadbolts for added protection. Reinforced glass or security film can also prevent easy break-ins. Good exterior lighting is another effective way to deter unwanted visitors.
🏡 Outdoor Safety Tips
Your yard and exterior areas need attention too. Trim overgrown trees and bushes that could block views or give cover to intruders. Check that pathways and stairs are well-lit to prevent trips and falls. Secure tools, ladders, and outdoor equipment so they cannot be used for unauthorized entry.
