Reminder to all you homeowners out there, plummeting temperatures can bring the risk of frozen water lines.

Residents with crawl spaces, cold cellars, vacant properties or infrequently used spaces should be particularly wary.

To protect your property from frozen water lines, you can:
❄Seal outside air leaks throughout the home, garage and in water line areas with caulk or insulation. Look for air leaks around electrical wiring, dryer vents and pipes.
❄Disconnect, drain and shut off all outdoor hoses and faucets.
❄Insulate water lines with a pipe sleeve, especially in unheated areas such as crawl spaces, basements, attics and storage rooms.
❄Insulate all exposed water pipes outside and in crawl spaces with foam pipe covers.
❄If your water line is in a cupboard or closet, keep the cupboard or closet door open. This allows warmer air to circulate around the water line.
❄Keep the thermostat set to at least 12 degrees Celsius (or 55 degrees Fahrenheit). Leave the furnace on, even at night, when you are away and when the property is vacant.

Consider planting a tree memorial as tribute to WILLIAM MULLEN....

The tree memorial CAHPI dedicated in honor of William MULLEN has been successfully planted at Ogoki Wildfire Recovery in Ontario. This thoughtful gesture has not only created a living tribute to their memory but also contributed to a healthier and greener planet.

We hope the memorial’s planting gives a continued connection as Bill's legacy lives on. While the tree memorial flourishes, it will continue to provide countless benefits to our planet, such as improving air quality, combating climate change, and nurturing wildlife.

Thank you once again for choosing A Tree to Remember™. Your contribution has a lasting impact on our environment and helps keep the memory of William MULLEN alive for generations to come.

With warmest regards,

"A Tree to Remember" Team

A TRIBUTE TO CAHPI'S FIRST MEMBER: BILL MULLEN

William Anthony Mullen passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on Thursday, July 3, 2025, in his 80th year. Bill was born and raised in Walkerton and later lived with his wife and children in Cargill, Hanover, Watford, and then Sarnia since 1990.

Bill was predeceased by his loving wife of 58 years, Caroline Rita Berberich Mullen (2019). He leaves behind three children, Angie and Jill (Scott) of Sarnia, and Dave (Jodie) of Strathroy, as well as six grandchildren, Aaron, Spencer, Payton, Julia, Ava and Bria, one great-grandchild Amelia, plus his four-legged companion of 17 years, Oscar. Bill will be missed by his sisters, Jean (Peter) Richardson, Dora (Dave) Johnston, his brothers, Albert (Brenda) Mullen, David (Judy) Mullen, as well as sisters-in-law Audrey Mullen, Phyllis Siegner, Margaret Weber, Rose (Ron) Wilhelm and brother-in-law Jerome Berberich, and many nieces and nephews.

Bill was predeceased by his parents, Wilbert and Kathleen Mullen (Siegfried), siblings Robert and Jim Mullen, Gertrude Wilhelm and Maxine Poechman, as well as four brothers-in-law including Gerald Wilhelm, Bill Poechman, Paul Weber, Bill Siegner, and one sister-in-law, Marlene (Bester) Berberich and Carol's parents, Rita and Alphonse Berberich.

Most of Bill's working life revolved around his interest in home building construction. He and Carol owned and operated Cargill Lumber Limited during the 1970's. In 1988 Bill and Carol moved the family to Lambton County where he had accepted a position as Manager of the Watford branch of Moffatt and Powell Building Supplies. In 1990 Bill then opened a custom kitchen cabinet showroom in Sarnia. In 1992, Bill entered the Home Inspection industry, which would become his true-life passion. Until his retirement 27 years later, Bill built a very successful multi-inspector company, Bluewater Home and Property Consultants. During those years, Bill became very involved in the Political side of the Home Inspection industry and he was highly respected by his colleagues in the industry. He served on many committees and boards, including the National Board for the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors. He served a few years as President of CAHPI and received many awards for his extensive work and accomplishments.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations to the Cargill District Community Foundation would be appreciated. Donations and condolences may be made online at www.cameronfuneralhomes.com.

CAHPI THANKS YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS AND DEDICATION...❤️

Insulation improvements to your home can be more or less cost effective. In practical terms, this means you need to calculate the period of time when savings overtake the costs of improvement. The shorter the time over which you recover the costs via savings, the more cost effective is the improvement.
For example, if you already have insulation with an R-60 value in your attic, you already have a very high standard of insulation. It would only become reasonably cost effective to add more insulation if there is a significant increase in the cost of the energy you use to heat your home.
You may be able to achieve better economies through other action. Sealing drafts around window and door frames will reduce warm air leakage and cool air entrance at those locations. Investing in LED light sources can also present significant savings. When replacing major appliances, look for the Energy Star rating to guide you to reduced operating costs.
Having a professional energy assessment of your home is a good first step in determining your most cost-effective options.
