WATERPROOFING
GARAGE DOORS
Q
Why do garage door springs break?
A
Tension and use. The springs that operate a garage door are wound tight whenever the door is closed. When the opener is engaged to raise the door, the tension is released as power to raise the door.
Opening an average of 1,500 times a year and prolonged exposure to cold (or hot) temperatures can bring a stressed, cracked spring to its final demise.

Q
John Nale
What causes mold in my crawlspace or basement?
A
Moisture. Moisture and mold are closely related, and it’s why ‘58 Foundations performs mold removal services.
Todd Prosan
Not only do we remove the mold, but as crawlspace and basement mold removal professionals, we eliminate the source of water and/or moisture
that causes the problem. If you only address mold removal and don’t address the moisture problem, the mold will grow back.
SIDING
Q
What should I look for in a siding installation company?
A
I would look to see if they’re a member of GuildQuality, which is a third-party review company. I would also see
how long they’ve been in business and if they’re a certified HardiePlank® installer.
