Regular home inspections prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your property. Our seasonal maintenance programs cover every critical system, from roofing to plumbing, ensuring your home remains safe and efficient throughout the year.
Our certified inspectors examine shingles for cracks, curling, or missing pieces. We check flashing around chimneys and vents, inspect gutters for debris accumulation, and assess attic ventilation. Early detection of leaks prevents water damage to insulation and interior structures. Documentation includes detailed photographs and repair recommendations with priority ratings.
We remove leaves, twigs, and sediment that block water flow and cause overflow. Downspouts are flushed to ensure proper drainage away from foundation. Brackets and hangers are tightened, and we check for rust or corrosion. Proper gutter function prevents basement flooding, foundation erosion, and landscape damage. Service includes disposal of all debris.
Specialists examine concrete or masonry for cracks wider than 3mm, which may indicate settling or structural issues. We assess grading around the perimeter to ensure water drains away from walls. Basement walls are inspected for moisture, efflorescence, or bowing. Crawl spaces are checked for standing water and adequate ventilation to prevent mold growth.
We inspect vinyl, wood, or fiber cement siding for cracks, warping, or loose panels. Caulking around windows and doors is examined for gaps that allow air infiltration. Power washing removes mold, mildew, and dirt buildup that degrades materials. Wood siding receives treatment to prevent rot and insect damage. Proper maintenance extends siding lifespan by years.
Technicians check all faucets, toilets, and showerheads for leaks that waste water and increase bills. Under-sink cabinets are inspected for moisture or pipe corrosion. Water pressure is tested at multiple fixtures. We examine water heater for sediment buildup, check temperature settings, and test pressure relief valve. Drain flow is assessed to identify developing clogs before they cause backups.
Licensed electricians test all outlets and switches for proper function and grounding. Circuit breakers are checked for overheating or corrosion. GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens are tested monthly for trip function. We inspect electrical panel for loose connections, proper labeling, and adequate capacity. Smoke detector batteries are replaced, and carbon monoxide detectors are verified operational.
We lubricate hinges, adjust door closers, and tighten loose hardware. Weather stripping is replaced where worn to prevent drafts and energy loss. Window locks are tested for security, and sashes are checked for smooth operation. Glazing is inspected for cracks or seal failure. Proper maintenance reduces heating costs and improves home security significantly throughout all seasons.
Attic insulation depth is measured to ensure it meets recommended R-values for Sofia climate. We check for compression, water damage, or gaps that reduce effectiveness. Basement rim joists and crawl spaces are inspected for missing insulation. Thermal imaging identifies air leaks around penetrations. Proper insulation reduces energy consumption by 30% and maintains consistent indoor temperatures year-round.
Certified technicians replace air filters, clean condenser coils, and check refrigerant levels. Blower motors are lubricated, and belts are inspected for wear. Thermostat calibration ensures accurate temperature control. Ductwork is examined for leaks that waste energy. System efficiency testing identifies components nearing failure. Regular maintenance extends equipment life by 5-10 years and reduces energy bills.
We drain tanks to remove sediment that reduces efficiency and causes premature failure. Anode rods are inspected and replaced when corroded beyond 50%. Temperature and pressure relief valves are tested for proper operation. Gas connections are checked for leaks, and burner flames are adjusted. Electric elements are tested for continuity. This service prevents flooding and extends heater lifespan.
Certified sweeps examine flue liners for cracks or deterioration that could allow carbon monoxide into living spaces. Creosote buildup is measured and removed when it exceeds safe levels. Chimney caps are checked for damage, and crowns are inspected for cracks. Dampers are tested for proper sealing. This service prevents house fires and ensures safe operation of fireplaces and wood stoves.
We winterize outdoor faucets and irrigation systems to prevent frozen pipe damage. Heating systems receive full inspection and tune-up. Weather stripping is installed or replaced around doors and windows. Roof ice dam prevention measures are implemented. Emergency supplies are checked, including flashlights and backup heating sources. This comprehensive service protects your home during harsh Sofia winters.
Air conditioning systems are cleaned, refrigerant levels checked, and filters replaced. Outdoor spaces are prepared, including deck sealing and patio furniture inspection. Irrigation systems are activated and tested for leaks. Window screens are repaired or replaced. Attic ventilation is verified to prevent heat buildup. Proper preparation ensures comfort and prevents equipment failure during peak cooling season.
A structured approach to property care saves money, prevents emergencies, and extends the lifespan of your home systems. Our checklist covers essential areas that need attention twice a year.
Regular inspections identify minor issues before they escalate into expensive problems. A small leak detected early costs significantly less than water damage repair. Checking gutters, roofs, and plumbing systems every six months helps avoid emergency situations that drain your budget and cause stress.
Seasonal maintenance of heating and cooling systems reduces energy consumption by up to 15%. Clean filters, sealed windows, and properly insulated spaces mean lower utility bills. Checking weatherstripping and insulation twice yearly ensures your home stays comfortable while consuming less electricity and gas throughout the year.
Well-maintained homes retain higher market value and attract buyers faster. Documentation of regular maintenance demonstrates responsible ownership. Potential buyers appreciate properties with service records showing consistent care of roofing, HVAC systems, and structural elements, making your investment more valuable over time.
A structured checklist eliminates guesswork about what needs attention and when. Spring and autumn are ideal times for specific tasks aligned with weather changes. Following a biannual routine means you won't forget critical maintenance items, and you can plan expenses in advance rather than facing unexpected repair costs.
Regular servicing extends the operational life of appliances and systems by 30-50%. Water heaters, furnaces, and air conditioners perform better and last longer with consistent maintenance. Replacing filters, cleaning components, and checking connections prevents premature equipment failure and delays costly replacements for years.
Biannual checks of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and electrical systems protect your family. Testing safety devices, inspecting fire extinguishers, and examining electrical panels identify hazards before they cause harm. Gas line inspections and proper ventilation checks ensure your living environment remains secure throughout the year.
Many manufacturers require documented maintenance to honor warranties on appliances and systems. Keeping records of biannual inspections and services protects your warranty coverage. This documentation proves you've met maintenance requirements, ensuring you receive repairs or replacements at no cost if covered components fail during the warranty period.

Your trusted partner in home maintenance and seasonal property care since 2015
ModernSpotCore was established in 2015 by a group of certified building inspectors and maintenance specialists in Sofia. We recognized that homeowners needed a reliable system to track and manage seasonal maintenance tasks. What started as a small consulting service has grown into a comprehensive home care solution serving over 2,400 properties across Bulgaria.
Our foundation was built on a simple observation: most home damage occurs not from sudden disasters, but from neglected routine maintenance. We developed our six-month inspection checklist based on building science research and real-world experience with Bulgarian climate conditions.
Today, we employ 18 certified inspectors and maintenance technicians who conduct thorough seasonal assessments. Our team includes specialists in HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical work, and structural integrity.
We help property owners prevent costly repairs through systematic seasonal inspections. Our mission is to make home maintenance predictable, manageable, and effective. Every six months, we guide homeowners through critical checkpoints that protect their investment and ensure safe living conditions.
We believe in education alongside service. Each inspection includes detailed explanations of what we check, why it matters, and what homeowners can monitor themselves between visits. This approach has helped our clients reduce emergency repair costs by an average of 340 лв annually.
Our 47-point seasonal checklist covers every critical home system. We document findings with photos and detailed notes, providing complete transparency about your property's condition.
We identify minor issues before they become major problems. Our inspectors are trained to spot early warning signs that most homeowners miss, saving significant repair costs.
