Fall care

Fall care

Pre-winter exterior inspection — roof shingles, drainage, snow management plan, end-of-season insect check.

Before winter, do a final exterior inspection.

  • Verify the roof shingles are intact and the door seal is tight
  • Clear leaves and debris from around the base
  • Confirm drainage is still functioning before winter precipitation
  • For cold climates: confirm the path to the sauna is ready for snow management (clear walkways, plan for ice management)
  • Inspect the heater stones and replace if they're approaching the end of their service life

If you've had insect activity in the warm months, do a final check of vents and clear any nests before they become winter habitat.
