Message from the Board of Directors : Spring is here--time for owners to perform annual preventive maintenance. Be sure to add these important items to your “TO DO” list: Fire Hazard . Lint that builds up in dryer vents is a major fire hazard. If yours have not been cleaned recently, it might be time for professional service. Most vents terminate to the exterior at the back of the building; be sure to check that the “flapper” on the exterior at the end of the duct is opening and closing properly and might require replacement. Vent the foundation and crawl space : Remove the Styrofoam covers from foundation vents to prevent moisture accumulation and development of mold and mildew in crawl spaces. Inspect crawl spaces for leaks in exterior pipes and valves. Access to crawl spaces is not easy in many homes, and some may require a professional. Use the Home Maintenance and Repair form to report any issues, especially leaks and excessive moisture right away. Insp
