Helpful Hints
- Remember to clean your gutters! Improper drainage can propel a number of homeowner nightmares such as eventual rot of the fascia, and potential for back-splash effect which may eventually lead to rotting of lower level structures. Stagnant water from improperly drained gutters can also lead to mosquito infestation.
- Make sure that all downspouts are free of debris and heading away from the structure of your home.
- From the ground, examine roof shingles for any signs of mold, or ripped and torn shingles. Replacing a roof isn't cheap but it's certainly more affordable than replacing inevitable damage caused by leaky roofs.
- Installing rain sensors on sprinkler systems can help reduce your water bill. Schedule the sensors between 4 am and 8 am to avoid evaporation from the sun.
- Installing insulated blinds can reduce the cost of running an air conditioner by up to 150 dollars.
- Summer's a good time to paint any structures that may be affected by wind or sun damage.
- Remember to pressure wash your home to avoid residual buildup.
