(StatePoint) Many people think of allergies as a spring problem, but most sniffle sufferers know that fall can pose its own issues. Mold and ragweed are common fall allergy triggers, as well as dust mites, which are naturally more prevalent in the home during the drier months. “You can turn your home into a safe haven from fall allergens with regular, strategic cleaning and a few preventive measures,� says Robin Wilson, an interior design expert and an ambassador with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. To help make your home more comfortable this season, Wilson is offering some fall cleaning tips to eliminate allergens and maintain a clean and healthy space:
• Wash your bedding. Mattress and pillow protectors will Quality Installations & Service You Deserve help control dust mites.

Fall Cleaning Tips to Help Rid Your Home of Autumn Allergens • Check for mold. Moisture breeds mold, so make sure to scan the inside of dishwashers, under the fridge in the water pan and in sink and bath drains. Change water dispensers and icemaker filters on a regular basis. • Vacuum frequently. Whether you have wall-towall carpeting, tile or hardwood floors, it’s important to eliminate dust and dirt. Vacuum, mop or steam clean flooring regularly. “Use a vacuum with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, which captures small particles such as allergens, irritants and pollutants,â€? says Wilson. For example, the Panasonic MC-UL429 Vacuum has a HEPA filter and accessories that allow you to be more thorough and get into tight corners. This vacuum also comes with an attachment that pulls pet hair -- another potential allergen -- out of upholstered surfaces. More information can be found at www.shop.panasonic.com.
• Wash or freeze stuffed toys. If your child sleeps with their favorite stuffed animals, you should frequently wash or freeze them in a plastic bag for 48 hours. This will lower the level of dust mites which can trigger asthma and allergies. • Use Slipcovers. Slipcovers have come a long way in the last 10 years. Since they can be cleaned regularly and more easily than upholstery, consider using them on sofas and other furniture. • Keep ragweed outside. After spending time outside, have your child leave any clothing or sports equipment close to the entrance of the home to avoid tracking irritants throughout rooms. “Just because the pollen count isn’t through the roof doesn’t mean you can’t fall prey to allergies,â€? says Wilson. “With regular cleaning, you can manage the irritants in your home and make it a more breathable place.â€?

Ask The Builder Quick Repair Will Keep Water Out Of Chimney by Tim Carter
Syndicated Columnist
DEAR TIM: My chimney is constructed with concrete block and has a thin stucco coating. I know the top of the chimney is not right and some of the blocks are falling apart. There are also tiny hairline cracks all over the chimney that don’t seem to be serious. What would you do if this were your chimney and you wanted to make repairs that would last decades? What’s the most important thing to tackle now if I don’t have enough money to repair the entire chimney? --John L., Newton, N.J. DEAR JOHN: Your photo is excellent and allows me to give you some solid advice long distance. I can clearly see the deteriorating concrete block at the top of the chimney and know exactly why the damage is happening. The good news is you’ll be able to restore this chimney and extend its service life for decades. Let’s start the discussion with an overview of chimneys and why those built by some masons are doomed from the start. It’s important to

This chimney has some cosmetic cracking and an inferior crown. It can be repaired properly and will last for decades if done right. think of a chimney as a house or a structure in and of itself. Water is very destructive to most building materials, even strong masonry or solid rock. If you add freezing temperatures to the mix, the damage caused by water happens much faster. You live where winter temperatures do drop below 32 F, so it’s critical for your chimney to shed water. Can you imagine how silly it would be to build a house and not have a roof on it? Everything inside the house would get ruined in a hurry. Chimneys are no different. They need roofs on top of them to keep water from soaking into the
inside of the masonry. If you only have so much money to spend, put a proper roof on the chimney then save up to do the other repairs. The roof of a chimney is called a crown. Chimney crowns can be made from solid slabs of stone, they can be poured concrete in place, and they can even be metal. No matter what it’s made from, the chimney crown’s sole purpose is to shed water to the outside of the chimney where it can drop down to a lower roof or the ground. Great chimney crowns have a slope to them so the water does not pond on top of the crown. The best crowns have an

and wood. In addition to being a necessary repair to keep your home safe and secure, replacing the front door can actually pay for itself. The Cost vs. Value Report shows a new steel front door provides a 96.6 percent ROI. For an extra level of protection, install a guard to the base of exterior doors and windows, like the Duck Brand Double Draft Seal, to help eliminate any air flow. It features an exclusive side-strap that keeps the seal securely in place, keeping cool air in and hot air out. 2. Freshen Up With Paint “Paint is an easy way to transform the look of your home,� adds Bury. From peeling paint on fences or trim, to delivering a complete facelift, painting the exterior of your home has one of the highest returnson-investment (ROI) of any project, according to Remodeling magazine’s 2014 Cost vs. Value Report. Delivering an ROI of 90 percent, it’s worth every penny, especially when repairs are already required. “Even if you’re not looking to sell anytime soon,
a fresh coat of paint will protect exterior surfaces from future damage and positively impact your home’s curb appeal,� says Bury. Done right, an exterior paint job can last up to 10 years. Do some research before you start to save yourself from a complete redo not too far down the line. Use highquality coatings that are specifically designed for the material of your house and your climate. Also, protect surfaces you’re not painting with a high-quality painter’s tape, like FrogTape brand painter’s tape. It’s treated with patented PaintBlock Technology, which keeps paint and stain from seeping and ruining your project. Investing the time in this simple prep step will also eliminate the need for timeintensive touch-ups. 3. Inspect The Foundation “Colder weather presents an entire set of threats to a home’s foundation,� says Bury. “The biggest hazard is frost heaving, which occurs when top-level soils freeze and thaw, creating upward suction that draws See weather on 5

in more water, which then freezes and thaws even more.� Over time, this frost cycle results in uneven pressure, creating shifts and cracks beneath the home’s foundation. If you have a basement, it’s crucial to inspect it for leaks that may have developed throughout cold caused by a shift in the foundation and address any issues before seasonal rain begins. If there are cracks wider than 1/4-inch wide, you can plug them by inject-
ing an epoxy, which will stop water from coming into the space. Just know that foundation repairs can run the gamut from simple DIY fixes to major reconstruction, so it’s best to consult a professional. By taking the time to assess your home’s condition after rough weather you’ll be able to immediately address any issues and ensure your abode is in tip-top shape.

overhang and a drip kerf cut into the overhanging edge so all water that falls on top of the crown drips away from the side walls of the chimney. Most masons don’t know how to construct a proper chimney crown and they rarely place a metal flashing pan under the crown. The metal flashing pan captures and diverts any water that gets past the crown. You never want any water to get into the core of your chimney. Never forget that. You or the mason you hire needs to tear apart the top of your chimney and remove any rotten or broken block. Once you’re down to solid masonry, start to rebuild. Be aware the chimney liners may have to be extended a little higher to accommodate the new thick crown. Keep in mind the crown should not touch the clay flue liners. A halfinch gap needs to be maintained between the crown and the liners and this gap needs to be caulked with a special urethane caulk meant for masonry control joints. This product will NOT

be found at a home center. You find this special caulk at businesses that sell specialty concrete products to masons. Be sure the new crown overhangs the sides of the chimney at least 3 inches on all sides. This may seem like a huge overhang, but from the ground it will look perfect. A quarter-inch wide by half-inch deep drip kerf needs to be located about one inch in from the outer edge of the crown on the underside of the crown. If the crown is made from poured concrete, be sure that reinforcing steel is placed in the concrete both directions. This steel will hold the crown together. Do NOT use plain bricklayers mortar for the crown. It must be concrete or a giant slab of stone that has a pre-built slope to it. Once the crown is complete, I would attach galvanized wire lath to the existing block and restucco over what you have. You have a rare opportunity to change the entire look of your chimney at this point by covering it with artificial stone. If you decide to do this, keep in mind the stone is much thicker than the stucco and you’ll have to extend the chimney crown overhang 3 inches past the outer surface of the artificial
stone. Do not allow masons to talk you into adding stucco on top of the existing stucco. The hairline cracks you see now will telegraph through the new stucco and your chimney will look horrible in no time. The wire mesh, when attached with the proper fasteners into the solid concrete block, will prevent the existing cracks from coming through the new stucco. All of this work should be done, if possible, when the outside temperatures range from 40 F to 70 F. The best conditions in which to do all this work are overcast days with no wind. Sunny, hot and windy weather is the worst weather to perform masonry repairs because the water in the mortar, poured concrete and stucco leaves the materials too fast. Need an answer?
