Most maintenance checklists are one-size-fits-all. But a condo owner shouldn't be cleaning gutters, a Phoenix home doesn't need October pipe-winterizing, and a 50-year-old house deserves closer attention to its electrical panel and chimney than a new build. This generator applies the same rules Roots uses in the app: your state sets the freeze-protection tasks, your home's age adds age-appropriate inspections, and your features (sump pump, pool, well, septic) bring their own essentials.
What makes a task "essential"?
According to Roots' home maintenance model, an essential task is one where skipping it eventually causes water damage, fire, a safety hazard, or an expensive failure — like cleaning the dryer vent (a leading cause of house fires), testing the sump pump before storm season, or flushing the water heater before sediment shortens its life. Essentials are marked on your checklist.
