maintenance: Caulking – An Important Part of Home Maintenance - 10/20/09 08:55 PM
Caulk is a substance that has many important uses. It is widely used in construction to seal openings where air and water might enter wall cavities, helping to prevent water damage, increase energy efficiency, and prevent insects from crawling through cracks into your Lennar home.

maintenance: Caring For Your Flatwork - 09/30/09 09:37 PM
One of the most common concerns our Lennar homeowners share with us involves the appearance of small cracks, chips, discoloration, sinking, or other movement in pavers or flatwork. Areas where you might notice these occurrences include concrete walkways, driveways, patios and some floors.

These joints are designed to control where the natural cracks will occur, rather than allowing the concrete to crack randomly.
While cracks are normal, you should inspect flatwork surfaces on … (1 comments)

One of the most common issues when it comes to a home's plumbing system is clogged drains. Many of these service calls can be prevented by keeping an eye on what's going down the drain in the first place. Here's an example: sink stoppages are often caused by grease that has been dumped down the sink. This seemingly harmless liquid actually leaves fatty deposits along the way, gradually forming a layer of grease on the pipe wall. Food particles cling to this layer and before you know it, there's a clog in your pipe. To help prevent this from happening, pour … (1 comments)
