As we transition from Winter to Spring it's the perfect time of year to check for loose or leaky gutters. Improper drainage can lead to water in the basement or crawl space of your home. Make sure downspouts drain away from the foundation and are clear and free of debris!
Do you have a disaster supply kit in your home in case of an emergency? The truth is, we can never predict when an emergency or natural disaster will occur, so we need to be prepared with food, water, and basic supplies! There are kits you can buy pre-made by the Red Cross, or if you'd like more information, on building your own kit check out this article by Ready.gov.
Here is a basic supply checklist from FEMA, that you can download and print for free as you build your kit!
Many homeowners wonder how often they should have their carpet and upholstery cleaned. The answer can vary depend on a few factors, but generally carpet and upholstery manufacturers recommend having them cleaned at least once a year. If you have children or pets in the home, or have a high traffic commercial space, you may need them cleaned more often.
Not only will having your carpet and upholstery cleaned eliminate unwanted dirt and allergens from your home or business, it will also extend the life of your carpet/upholstery. If you have a warranty on your carpet or upholstery, make sure to read and adhere to the guidelines so your warranty remains in tact.
