DID YOU KNOW?

To extend the life of your garbage disposal, COLD WATER is key!

If you run cold water before starting the disposal, and continue to let it run about 30 seconds after turning it off, it will cool the motor and help keep fats in solid form.

One question we ask that many homeowners meet with silence is..."When did you last change your air filters?"

Out of sight out of mind, right? Well, changing your air filters every 1 to 3 months can save you BIG TIME!

You'll see savings in your energy expenditures as well as in helping family members with allergy symptoms.

How often you change the filters will be determined by factors such as pets in the home, and family members with asthma or allergies.

Brick siding is GREAT, and many homeowners prefer it to wood siding.

Don't be fooled, however, it DOES require some maintenance and to skip it would be doing a disservice to your home.

Routine cleaning with a mild detergent, hose and soft brush is necessary to remove & prevent stains.

You can protect the surface with a sealant. Then if you find any loose or crack bricks, "re-pointing" (or re-mortaring) the bricks is necessary!

Though your roof may have a "15 -25 year lifespan", did you know there are factors that may make it need replacement SOONER?

Many factors are considered such as local weather exposure, type of materials, roof pitch angle, and the quality of ventilation.

Look out for things like cracking or curling of shingles, water spots on the interior ceilings, and missing shingles!

Unsure of the condition? Request a roofing inspection from a professional.

Important considerations for you if your home uses WELL WATER:

- Keep the top of your well at least 12” above the ground around the casing, so that surface water can never enter your well.

- Keep well at least 100 feet away from potential contaminants sources such as oil tanks, septic tanks, or chemical storage tanks.

- Routinely check your wellhead. Make sure that the well cap is not broken and is free from any holes or corrosion.
