Fires or flooding can occur in any home, even those of very cautious homeowners. Yet, further diminishing the risk of disaster is possible. Using smart home devices, those dangers are detected before they have time to wreak havoc on the home. Here are the best smart devices that can help prevent flooding and fire disasters: https://puroclean.ca//the-best-smart-home-devices-to-prev/ #yqr #sask #puroclean

How to prevent mould in the bathroom: Keeping the humidity levels below 55%. Since mould thrives in moist conditions, it’s important to keep humidity under control. Ventilating the bathroom after a shower or bath by turning on a fan or by using the bathroom exhaust fan. Opening a window also helps let steam out. Drying wet surfaces, such as mirror, tiles, glass, and walls, using a towel or squeegee, after every shower or bath.... Cleaning the bathroom surfaces and items (such as the floor, ceiling, and rugs) with an anti-fungal solution and/or detergent at least once a month. Spraying undiluted vinegar on the bath and shower once a month to prevent mould growth and remove odours. Using a mould-resistant shower curtain, as well as washing the curtain routinely, at least once a month. Removing objects, such as shampoo bottles, toys, or mugs from the shower. Moisture collected on these objects will provide a place for mould to grow. Removing unnecessary items from the bathroom to minimize the number of wet surfaces where mould can grow. #sask #puroclean #regina

Tips to protect home exteriors from water damage: Roofs The roof needs to be inspected for missing or damaged shingles, flashings, and tiles.... The roof should also be checked for leaks around rooftop air-conditioning units, vents for exhaust or plumbing, and other specialized equipment. Tree limbs that hang above the roof must be cut so they don’t cling to shingles and trap moisture. Gutters and Downspouts Gutters and downspouts must be kept clean, free from debris, and in good condition to allow water to flow freely. Metal screens should be installed to prevent leaves, twigs, silt and other debris from clogging the gutters and drainage holes. Downspouts must direct water at least two metres away from the home’s foundation. Installing downspout extensions may be needed to achieve this. Doors and Windows The corners of the doors and windows should be checked for leaks. Signs of leaks include peeling paint, paint discolouration, and swollen frame. Exterior doors and windows should be protected from the sun, rain, and snow by installing overhangs above them. Doors and windows must close tightly. To check for a tight fit, there should be no cracks between the sash and frame of the windows. Walls Cracked or broken siding boards, bricks, stone or other masonry, as well as structural sheathing must be repaired. Any openings from wiring, plumbing, phone, cable, and heating and air conditioning lines must be sealed with foam or caulk. Also, the damaged or unpainted wood surrounding these openings must be repaired. Checking for signs of termite activity on the walls and the wooden structures around the foundation is also recommended. Termites can eat wood, plaster, and even metal siding. The exhaust vent doors must open and close properly.

When cold weather arrives, homeowners are ready to turn the heat up in their home. However, getting the home ready for the cold season is equally important.

Water damage can affect any area of a property, including crawl spaces the area under a house that’s between the foundation walls. Dampness in crawl spaces can occur when the vapor barriers, which sit above dirt floors to prevent moisture, have been damaged or were installed incorrectly, to begin with.
