Home Maintenance Tips

We have listed some tips for caring for your home, to help you make sure it stays healthy and lasts as long as possible!

Gutters

Cleaning out your gutters, on a regular basis, will help avoid water intrusion into the home, where it isn't supposed to be. Full or clogged gutters can lead to damage to the roof, interior of the home, and to the foundation. Where there is water, there is a potential for mold and wood rot.

Cleaning a Rain Gutter

Heating and Cooling Systems

Filters on your heating system and your air conditioner keep the insides of those systems clean ad free of debris. Change them at least monthly. The insides of these systems can get clogged with dirt, dust, and anything else that floats through the air. This can cause them to fail or operate inefficiently, causing you to spend money you do not need to. Becoming clogged can also create an environment in which mold can grow and recirculate throughout your home.

Fixing Air Conditioner

Landscaping

Flower beds and decorative vegetation are absolutely wonderful for lightening our moods and they can add an overall aesthetic quality to any home, however they can be harmful to a home if not designed or maintained properly. Make sure your flowerbeds are at least 6 inches lower than any type of siding materials on your home. The plants should also be at least 6 inches from the home to allow air circulation between the plants and the wall of your home. Plants retain a lot of moisture, which is bad for a home.

Services

Home Inspection

The home inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of the home systems and components. Its purpose is to let you know their condition and if they are operating as expected, so you have the right information to make informed decisions.

Private Water Well Inspections

A well inspection will help you understand how the well components are operating at the time of the inspection and what to expect with how they work, once in the home. 

Radon

Radon is a gas, that comes from uranium deposits underground. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer and second only to smoking. The EPA regards Radon as having no known safe levels of exposure. 

No lab is required for our tests, so no waiting. We use testing instruments that deliver results as soon as the testing period is concluded.

Mold

Like termites and other pests, mold can cause a lot of structural damage, cause unsightly stains, and cause unpleasant odors. Mold exposure in a home, has also been linked to allergies and other health conditions.

Termites and WDO  (arranged)

Termites, wood destroying organisms , and other pests can be responsible for a lot of structural damage, and it  often goes unnoticed. An inspection  will keep you from being unpleasantly surprised later.
