As you look around your neighborhood, you might see more homes with solar panels attached to their roofs. This is not a temporary trend that will go away in a few years, like the bomb shelters of the fifties.

Before you determine this isn’t something you want to consider for your own home, you should learn more about the benefits it provides.

Tankless water heaters are becoming more and more popular with homeowners. But what are they? How do they work? Is it worth buying one? Where can you find them? If you’re thinking about the purchase of a tankless water heater, here are just a few tips for only buying the best.

1. Understand How They Operate

2. Consider Electric Versus Natural Gas

The window of opportunity for handling a water emergency is small. A severe mold infestation can begin as soon as 24 hours after a major pipe break, or natural flood event. Below are six things you need to get done within this time frame to salvage as much as possible and minimize damage.

In cases of broken water pipes, simply shut down the source of water until a secure repair can be made.

Begin Removing Water

Standing water needs to be removed as soon as possible to minimize damage. The longer it is allowed to stay in place, the worse the damage …

Everyone on the job has been so professional, responsible, respectful of the house and garden and friendly.

In defense of pulling house permits for a remodeling job, if you’re flexible with your time and don’t mind spending a few hundred more, it’s generally a good idea to get a permit. In addition, Allen Patterson Residential customized a unique free standing …
