Keeping Termites Away from Your Home

Termites need three things to thrive: Food, Moisture and Shelter

Don't Feed Them!

Keep gutters clean - Wet leaves provide moisture and food for the pests, and since the gutters are attached to your home, it's an easy point of entry. Clogged gutters can also contribute to moisture problems by soaking wood off the roof and fascia boards. Wood piles and construction debris, boards left touching the ground or fences without proper ground clearance can all be food sources.

Is A Long Home Inspection Bad News For The Seller?

The quick answer is that there are so many variables that affect the duration of a home inspection that the time of the inspection alone won't give much meaningful information . . .

And there is one more variable . . . when the whole family and their relatives attend the inspection :)

Improve Water Pressure

Shower Head at Fault?

Nobody likes a shower with terrible water pressure. But before you call a plumber to fix it, make sure you clean your shower head to make sure the poor shower is not due to buildup.

Home Inspection Nightmares!

Custom Roof Deck Drainage

The owner had installed plastic household storage bins below all the leaks and connected the bins to a network of improperly sloped ¾" PVC pipes that drained into an interior sink.

These are good resources to ensure safety for everyone during and after the clean-up.
