cleveland: Set yourself up for success. - 12/06/10 10:21 AM
With winter upon us and the holidays fast approaching it is time to consider taking some precautions to preserve your home, your health and your memories.
Each year I am encountered with flooded basements, falling ceilings, scorched homes and piles upon piles of destroyed pictures, decorations, toys, and other storage items. Each year I see grandparents forced to dispose of their grandchild's finger paintings and newlyweds having to trash their wedding albums (or wedding dress in some cases). As a disaster professional, this is incredibly frustrating. Each day I work to fix seemingly un-fixable situations and occasionally, it truly is un-fixable. … (0 comments)

cleveland: Bathroom Tip Regarding Mold Growth - 10/14/10 02:38 PM
Places that are often or always damp can be hard to maintain completely free of mold. If there's some mold in the shower or elsewhere in the bathroom that seems to reappear, increasing the ventilation (running a fan or opening a window) and cleaning more frequently will usually prevent mold from recurring, or at least keep the mold to a minimum.

cleveland: Selling A Home With Mold and Water Damage in a Crawl Space? - 09/30/10 10:54 AM
It is always important to control water entry into buildings - especially crawl spaces. Wet crawl spaces promote the growth of microbes, degrade structural members, attract harmful insects, and cause other types of property damage. If water does enter through a leak, flood, or accident, it should be removed immediately and the affected area completely dried.
As with many situations, an ounce of prevention can be worth a pound of cure. Planning to keep water from entering a crawl space - such as during heavy rains - can save on costly clean-ups later on. Here are some helpful prevention tips:

cleveland: Fire Safety - 09/27/10 10:53 AM
The National Fire Prevention Association has designated October as Fire Prevention Month. In many parts of the country, October begins the "heating season" - when fires are more common than during the rest of the year. October is also the month ushering in the holiday season (counting Halloween), and the holidays themselves are a season of increased fire risk. For instance, more residential fires occur on Thanksgiving Day, than on any other single day of the year - more than double the daily average!
Candles are always beautiful, and they are especially abundant during the holiday season. The top five days … (0 comments)

cleveland: Sewer Line Problems That Stink, To a Homeowner's Wallet - 09/17/10 11:10 AM
Sewer Line ProblemsThe portion of the sewer line that extends out from a home and onto city property is often the homeowners' responsibility when it comes to repairs. Sewer line problems are most common in older neighborhoods, where the line may have sagged or has been damaged by tree roots. If you have slow running or gurgling drains, frequent backups in your plumbing system or sewage smells outside your home, these may be indications of a problem. Again, your home insurance policy may cover this cost, expect this doozy to cost anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 for a 100-foot sewer pipe.
