We stress the fact
that water is your home's enemy. Some people think that
grading of landscape is only for looks. Actually, some
decorative grading is actually damaging your home. We
will suggest ways to keep water away from your home and
out of your basement. Sometimes it's as simple as
adding extensions to your gutters.

exterior is wood, vinyl, aluminum, or masonry there can
be areas of concern. Some can cause major damage or
even structural damage.

Most decks are
built by homeowners. Usually when a homeowner completes
major work to a house. It should be treated as suspect,

problems, and trip hazards.

An attic tells a
lot about your home. It can show leaks, sheathing
problems, ventilation problems, insulation problems,
structural issues, or even mold & mildew issues.

Do you think
ceramic tile grout protects the supporting wall from
penetration? No, grout alone doesn't mean its water
tight.

|
Do you really care
if the pressure pipes are galvanized, copper, or
plastic, or what the drain pipes are? Well you should.

situation.

one of the most important issues. Even if you know

the Do's and Don'ts.
