The Aurum Checklist

The same careful check, every visit.

Every visit follows a consistent checklist so nothing gets missed. Anything we flag is photographed and written up for you.

Here is what a standard visit covers. Your own to-do list comes on top of this.

Air and safety

  • Air conditioning filter checked and replaced when due (you supply the filter, or we can source it)
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms tested; batteries replaced where needed
  • Alarm manufacture dates recorded, so you know when each unit is due for replacement
  • Ground-fault and arc-fault outlet test buttons pressed and recorded

Doors, windows and hardware

  • Doors, hinges, locks and strike plates checked, tightened and adjusted
  • Cabinet hinges, pulls, towel bars and closet hardware checked and tightened

Outside

A walk around the home, from the ground.
