I recently met with Calgary Handyman Frank Sanborn. He Talked about his 30 years of completing renovations in Calgary.
I asked him what homeowners need to do to keep their home in ship shape. He said, "water [damage] is the #1 enemy of any house". It will destroy things from the inside out, and make for very costly repairs".
What should a homeowner do?
- Occasionally check underneath sinks for slow leaks
- Check Toilets and Hot water tanks for leaks
- Don't ignore bathtub caulking that needs replacing
- Make sure your roof shingles are in good shape and repelling water. If they are curled up they are not doing their job.
- Keep your gutters and downspouts directing water away from the house
Do these simple tasks and your home should stay mold free and good looking for years.
