The east side of Littleton and the Centennial border sit at about 5,700 feet in the south Denver metro, where the climate is semi-arid with cold, bright winters and hot, dry summers. Annual precipitation is low, but a lot of it arrives in short, heavy bursts: wet spring snowstorms in March and April and strong afternoon thunderstorms in summer.

Check attic insulation and roof flashing after hail, and repair cracked shingles promptly.
Make sure bathroom fans are properly sized and ducted outdoors, and clean them yearly.
Keep irrigation heads from spraying the foundation and shut off sprinklers before the first hard freeze.
Open window wells and clear debris so water can drain, and add covers where appropriate.
Use a hygrometer in basements and keep humidity under 60 percent, ideally 30 to 50 percent.
