 |
||
| Our Yearly Maintenance Program can include such things as: | ||
Interior caulking, which seals areas in your home and helps prevent moisture problems, will seperate and deteriorate over the years. If you don't maintain caulk on a consistant basis, moisture can work it's way behind fixtures, damaging drywall and framing. |
||
| Showering, cooking, and other activities involving warm or boiling water produce a lot of moisture in your home. Moisture damages building materials and promotes mold growth. Exhaust fans are installed in bathrooms and above the kitchen range. These fans play an important role in decreasing the level of moisture in your home. It's also important to maintain ventilation throughout the attic to prevent moisture buildup. | ||
The line that drains condensed moisture away from your heating and/or cooling unit needs periodic maintenance. Toilets are durable fixtures with parts and surfaces that require some maintenance. |
||
| The wood flooring in your home adds an inviting and charming atmosphere. With proper care, you can ensure that it retains its long-term aesthetic value. Real wood flooring can be made from a number of different types of wood, such as beech, maple, and oak. Your floors will range in durability depending on the type of wood used. All wood expands and contracts as the weather changes; it can shrink in extreme dryness or swell in extreme humidity. The benefits of wood floors lie in their stylish appearance, as well as in their ability to last a lifetime with good care. | ||
| Leaks around exterior doors and windows can result if seperated or deteriorated caulk goes unnoticed for any length of time. Exterior caulk is the elastic sealer around window and door frames that helps seal air leaks and prevent water entry around these openings. The caulk will seperate and deteriorate over the life of the home. If you don't check the caulking and remove and reapply it on a consistent basis, moisture can work its way behind wood trim or siding and probably cause serious rotting. | ||
| Gutters and downspouts help direct water away from your home. Gutters are troughs that collect water from the roof and carry it toward the downspouts. Together, gutters and downspouts direct water off the roof and then down and away from the house. Caring for these elements will extend the life of your roof drainage system by many years. Make sure the downspouts direct water away from your homes' walls and foundation. Downspouts that pour water toward your home can cause water damage to the siding, the foundation, and the basement. | ||
| Your roof protects your home from rain, hail, wind, snow, hot sun, and othe weather conditions, all of which wear down the roofing materials over time. The roof requires simple, periodic maintenance. The best times of the year to examine your roof are the spring and fall. A springtime examination, in particular, allows you to check for any winter damage. | ||
| All the water you use leaves the home through a drain. Maintaining drains prevents clogging, overflows, water damage, and other problems. | ||
| Faucets, like all plumbing fixtures with moving parts, are apt to require more repair than non-moving fixtures. The less strain you put on your faucets, the less frequently they need repair. Cleaning the aerators will be the most frequent task in maintaining your faucets. A lack of water pressure is usually caused by a buildup of sediment on the aerator screens inside the faucet. Faucet aerators add air to the water as it leaves the faucet, reducing splashing and providing some water conservation. | ||
| Driveways are made from asphalt or concrete; walks and some patios are made from concrete. They require minimal but consistent maintenance. | ||
