End-of-Month Home Health Check: The Top Items Jacksonville Homeowners Should Inspect Before February

The Last Week of January Is Your Chance to Prepare for Spring

February brings rising humidity and increased rain in Northeast Florida.
Before that shift happens, the final week of January is the ideal time to check critical home components.

A professional home inspection ensures your home is ready for the upcoming seasonal change.

1. Check Exterior Sealants Before Humidity Returns

January’s dry air exposes failing:

• Caulking

• Sealants

• Window glazing

• Exterior gaps

These issues lead to major moisture intrusion by spring.

2. Inspect Attic Ventilation & Insulation

Attic issues discovered in January help prevent:

• High electric bills

• Early mold growth

• Roof deterioration

• Hot/cold zones in the home

Thermal imaging provides a detailed temperature map.

3. Plumbing Issues Are More Visible in Winter

Since moisture evaporates slower in cool months, we easily spot:

• Slow leaks

• Condensation

• Water line sweating

• Water heater issues

Fixing these now prevents mold in humid months.

4. Test GFCI & AFCI Protection

Holiday usage strains electrical systems.
January is the perfect time to ensure:

• Proper safety protection

• No damaged outlets

• No overloaded circuits

• No panel overheating

5. Check the Roof Before Spring Storms

Roof checks in January help prevent:

• Spring leaks

• Shingle lifting

• Underlayment exposure

• Attic moisture

Your roof is the first line of protection—January is the last quiet month before weather gets active.
