Professionally Speaking

Dear Community,

What a Home Inspection Should Cover

room. Heating: The home's heating system, vent system, flues, and chimneys should be inspected. Look for age of water heater, whether the size is adequate for the house, speed of recovery, and energy rating. Air Conditioning: Your inspector should describe your home cooling system, its energy source, and inspect the central and through-wall cooling equipment. Consider the age and energy rating of the system. Interiors: An inspection of the inside of the home can reveal plumbing leaks, insect damage, rot, construction defects , and other issues. An inspector should take a close look at: Walls, ceilings and floors Steps, stairways, and railings Countertops and cabinets Garage doors and garage door systems Ventilation/insulation: To prevent energy loss, check for adequate insulation and ventilation in the attic and in unfinished areas such as crawlspaces. Also look for proper, secured insulation in walls . Insulation should be appropriate for the climate. Excess moisture in the home can lead to mold and water damage . Fireplaces: They're charming, but they could be dangerous if not properly installed . Inspectors should examine the system, including the vent and flue, and descr ibe solid fuel burning appliances .

Home inspections will vary depending on the type of property you are purchasing. A large historic home, for example, will require a more specialized inspection than a small condominium. However, the following are the basic elements that a home inspector will check. You can also use this list to help you evaluate properties you might purchase. For more information, try the virtual home inspection at www.ASHl.org, the Web site of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Structure: A home's skeleton impacts how the property stands up to weather, gravity, and the earth. Structural components, including the foundation and the framing, should be inspected. Exterior: The inspector should look at sidewalks, driveways, steps, windows, and doors. A home's siding, trim, and surface drainage also are part of an exterior inspection. Doors and windows Siding (brick, stone, stucco, vinyl, wood, etc.) Driveways/sidewalks Attached porches, decks, and balconies Roofing: A well-maintained roof protects you from rain, snow, and other forces of nature. Take note of the roof's age, conditions of flashing, roof draining systems (pooling water), buckled shingles, loose gutters and downspouts, skylight, and chimneys. Plumbing: Thoroughly examine the water supply and drainage systems, water heating equipment, and fuel storage systems. Drainage pumps and sump pumps also fall under this category. Poor water pressure, banging pipes, rust spots, or corrosion can indicate problems. Electrical: Safe electrical wiring is essential. Look for the condition of service entrance wires, service panels, breakers and fuses, and disconnects. Also take note of the number of outlets in each

Weathering the Storm

Imagine trying to stand erect and stay in one piece in the midst of high-speed winds and torrential rains. Your house may face this challenge, as summer storm season descends upon the nation. During Mother Nature’s wicked rages, you and your family can evacuate your home or, in less severe conditions, snuggle within its cozy walls. But your house must always face the elements, protecting your family and possessions. Equip your home with the accessories it will need to survive. As you know, we are prone to hurricanes in this area of the country. Before you do anything else, look over your insurance

policies to make sure you’re covered for losses incurred as the result of a natural disaster. Damage caused by flooding, earthquakes and hurricanes is generally not covered by your regular homeowner’s policy, but can be purchased separately. Make lists or videos of your belongings as documentation for the insurance company, and keep that documentation in a safe location away from your house. Try to prevent wind and water from entering through windows, cracks, entry doors and garage doors. Wind funneling through your house pushes upward, trying to lift its roof. Once the roof is gone,

heavy rains can soak your home through to the board. It is important to seal your windows and doors as tightly as possible. You can purchase and install special storm shutters to cover your windows. Or you make your own set of shutters out of ¾ inch marine plywood or metal storm panels. Always mark the shutters so you know which window they will fit. Make sure they overlap the windows on all sides by four inches. Then mark them so you know which window they fit. Don’t forget to make shutters for your skylight windows. Once made, the shutter panels can be stored and used when necessary. These shutters can help protect homes from all rainstorms accompanied by high winds, not just hurricanes. After you’ve made shutters for all your windows, start working on your doors. If you live in an area frequently targeted heavy stoarms, consider installing steel entry doors. High winds can easily tear

through double doors, French doors and sliding patio doors that have no structural device between them. You may need to purchase and install special hardware to more adequately secure the doors where they meet. Try bolts that fasten the door into the framing at the top and the bottom. If in good condition, your home’s roof can shield its interior from the storm outside. So roof work is another essential step in preparing your house to withstand a severe storm. Apply sealing around your home’s chimney or vent pipes. This will help prevent water from seeping into your home. Hire a contractor to check for the structural integrity of the roof system. Clean out clogged gutters and downspouts. If the rain that accompanies a heavy storm can’t run through the gutters

and downspouts, it will spill over the sides, landing in areas where it can soak through to your home’s foundation, causing flooding and structural damage. Next, take steps to protect your home from objects that take flight during a storm. Do a little yard work. Remove all dead and dying limbs from your trees, and secure lawn furniture, trashcans, flowerpots and other yard ornaments. Disconnect and remove exterior television antennas from the roof. Then take all lawn furniture, grills, potted plants and other lawn accessories inside your house. If you can’t secure lawn furniture or other outdoor items, bring them inside as well. Highspeed winds could transform any of these objects into flying missiles traveling toward your house. Tie down the larger items such as sheds, doghouses, playhouses,

swing sets, and boats. Finally, stock your cupboards and closets with anything you might need if trapped inside your house during a vicious summer storm. Keep a batteryoperated radio, several flashlights in case you lose electricity, and plastic sheeting to cover exposed areas. And fill your drawers with brand new packages of live batteries so the flashlights are certain to work. Stash canned foods and other non-perishable food items in your cupboards in case you’re trapped in your home for a while and can’t get out to the supermarket. When you and your house are prepared, you’re more likely to weather the toughest late-summer storm. Taking time now to prepare your home for storm season could save you a lot of money later.

Why more people are installing saltwater pools

(ARA) - One of the hottest summers in US history has sent everyone scurrying into their pools to cool off, and the biggest new trend in swimming pools is salt water. First developed in Australia, saltwater pools offer several advantages over conventional chlorine and have become incredibly popular in the last decade. People no longer have to tolerate the eye-burning, nose-curdling sting that comes from chlorine. Saltwater pools only have one-tenth the salt of ocean water and about one-third when compared to human tears. They are also gentler on the skin and hair than traditional chlorine pools. And pool owners don't have to purchase, store, and

handle harsh chemicals, so maintenance is easier, more convenient, and saves time and money. Across the country, more chlorine pools are being converted to salt water and today there are more than 1.4 million saltwater pools in operation nationwide. An estimated 75 percent of all new inground pools are salt water, compared with only 15 percent in 2002, according to data published in Pool & Spa News. Since the Evergreen Commons senior center in Holland, Mich., converted its 65,000gallon pool to salt water, members have been pleased with the results. "The minute you walk into the pool area you notice a big difference," says Jodi Owczarski, the center's

community relations director. "There is no longer that chemical smell. People also tell us that the water is much softer. In the old pool, people said they sometimes had to wash twice to get all those chemicals off, but in this pool, they only have to wash once. All in all, people have been thrilled with this new system." In saltwater pools, chlorine is automatically produced as water passes through the generator. As the water exits the generator and enters the pool, the sanitizing chlorine reverts back to salt, and the process repeats itself, conserving salt and keeping sanitizer levels balanced. Saltwater pools require less maintenance than traditional pools, but pool owners still

should test weekly for pH and chlorine, and monthly for other water balance factors and for salt levels, which can drop due to splash-out, rain and filter back-washing. Most pool owners test their pool water themselves with test strips and periodically bring a sample in to a pool retailer for testing. Anyone who has made the decision to move to a saltwater pool should make certain they use salt specifically designed for that use. An average 20,000 gallon pool

followed, salt water has no effect on pool finishes, equipment and decks. Most materials are suitable for salt water pool construction, and most kinds of stone and decking materials will last if treated and sealed properly and periodically rinsed off. If you're considering a saltwater pool, talk to a knowledgeable builder or retailer, or get some insight from other saltwater pool owners. You can also find more information at the Salt Institute website.

That's why ultra-pure salt is best for salt water pools. Salt water systems can also save money in the long run over chlorinebased alternatives. There have also been questions about the effect of salt water on pool construction materials, decks and surrounding structures. When pools are properly constructed and normal maintenance is

How to help your garden survive a drought

(ARA) - For many American gardeners, 2012 has not been a kind year. Most of the Midwest is dealing with one of the worst droughts on record. And while the Midwest is bearing the brunt of the drought this year, other parts of the country have also been hit hard in recent years, and climate change may be making matters worse. Since a drought can strike any year, anywhere, it makes sense to come up with a sustainable plan for

helping your garden survive through the driest summers. Whether you're in the middle of a droughtstricken area or are simply looking for ways to upgrade your garden to handle a lack of moisture in coming seasons, now is a great time to embark on some improvements that can help your garden use water more efficiently and effectively. Watering effectively When it comes to watering your garden,

how you water is just as important as how frequently you water, especially during a drought. Think of it as

providing the proper serving size of water for your plants. Oversaturating your garden can lead to soil and im-

portant nutrients running off your garden, along with wasting precious water. The most efficient way to irrigate is to apply lower volumes of water at a slower rate to allow the plant to absorb it properly. Timing's important too. Watering early in the morning is best because water will evaporate faster in the midday heat. If conditions are extremely hot and dry, it can also be beneficial to give your plants a little water in the late afternoon to relieve their stress. Micro-spray and drip irrigation can help you water more accurately and effectively. Drip irrigation allows you to apply water directly to the root zone of your plants, which is where they need it most. Water isn't wasted on areas where nothing is growing, which both saves water and reduces erosion. The great thing about drip irrigation systems such as those offered by Mister Landscaper (misterlandscaper.com) is you don't need to bring them in for the winter, making mid- to late-season installation practical. The American-made Mister Landscaper systems can also be placed on a timer, so you don't have to worry about getting up at dawn or rushing home at night after a hot and dry day to water at the optimal time. Keeping water on your property

When water is scarce, you want to make sure that when the rain comes - or when you have the sprinklers on that your garden is able to use as much of it as possible. Here are a few tips for making the most out of the water that falls on your property: * Attach a rain barrel to your gutter system so you can save and use the water that runs off your house. Some irrigation systems, such as those offered by Mister Landscaper, can be connected to rain barrels so you can really use that water efficiently. * Put back into your soil what you take from it. Adding compost or other organic matter periodically can help amend dry soil to retain more water. * Adding mulch around plants once they've sprouted can also help you conserve water. The benefit is two-fold as a layer of mulch can prevent weeds from sprouting up and stealing water from your plants and it can also keep your soil cooler to slow evaporation. Weathering a drought is less than ideal for any home gardener. But if you are able to water more effectively and adopt a few gardening practices that will keep your soil from drying out rapidly, you can keep your garden going strong even when the rain is hard to come by.
