Groundkeep / What's included

Every item, every quarter.

The failure calendar the visits are timed to, the exact list of included fixes, and the record every visit builds.

The failure calendar

What fails, when, and the visit that beats it.

No fake science. Just the maintenance intervals every manual already agrees on, put on a calendar and done.

ComponentHow it failsWhenThe visit that beats it
GuttersLeaves mat, water backs up under the shingles, ice dams form at the eaves.Nov clog
Jan dam
Cleared twice a year: fall, then again after the melt.
Dryer ventLint packs the run. Airflow drops, dry times climb, heat builds where it shouldn't.All yearCleared once a year, appliance to exterior.
Water heaterSediment settles in the tank. The burner heats sand before it heats water; the tank dies young.Quietly,
every yr
Flushed once a year. Tank units, any size.
Hose bibsWater left in the line splits the pipe at the first hard freeze. You find out in April.Oct freeze
Apr leak
Shut off and drained before the freeze; run and checked after the melt.
Sump pumpSludge in the pit, a stuck float. Discovered during the first big melt, which is the wrong time.Feb–MarPit cleaned and pump tested every spring.
AC condenserCottonwood and debris mat the coil right before the first hot week asks it to work.May–JunCleared of debris after the melt, before cooling season.
Furnace filterIt loads up. Airflow drops and the blower works harder for less.Every
season
Swapped quarterly. Your size stays on file.
Smoke + CO alarmsBatteries die quietly. A silent alarm is no alarm at all.Any monthTested every visit; fresh batteries before the freeze.

The list

All of it, included, every year.

Every visit, we check. Each quarter has its scheduled work. And anything small we find dead or loose, we fix on the spot. "We handle the little things" means nothing without the list. Tap a season to open its list.

Home Vitals

The record every visit builds.

Every visit adds dated notes and photos. The record holds:

What the record holdsFifteen kinds of entries, tap to open.
Dated photos, every visit
Every filter size and model on file
Water heater age, size and service history
Water pressure, measured and tracked
Main shutoff located, labeled, photographed
Water heater sediment check
Softener salt level — refills, plan members only
Caulk condition, photographed
Gutter condition, photographed
Sump pit condition
Window well condition
Every paid job, dated
Every included item done, logged
Findings, with your decision on record
Labor credit use, logged

A year in, it's a dated, photographed record of your house: warranty evidence when an appliance dies young, your deposit case when you move out, the maintenance proof an insurance claim can hinge on, and proof of care when you sell. If nobody wrote it down, it might as well not have happened. Your record is proof.

Screenshot slot: a real customer record, dated, shared with permission.
Fills as the first records mature. Nothing staged.

When the record turns something up, the work gets built into a scheduled visit. Nothing is sold at your door.

What we sell, and what we won't.

We sell: four visits a year timed to the failure calendar, published prices you can check line by line, included small fixes, and a dated record of all of it.

We won't sell: scare tactics, "little things" without the list, or anything at your door. When we find something, it goes in your record and you decide on your own time.

Pick your plan, then pick a day.
