Now is truly a great time to buy a bank owned home.   One area that is often neglected in a REO is the AC system.  Many REO's have been unoccupied for an extended period of time.  Because of this the AC system is generally neglected; filters aren't changed, the system is set to high or turned off altogether, condensation lines fill up with gunk.  It is a wise decision to the have the AC system inspected before or just after the house is purchased.  They should check for proper Freon pressure, leaks, cleanliness of the coil, etc...  Did you know that low levels of Freon can cause the AC system to ice up; this can lead to water damage and very warm houses.  If the inspection finds a dirty coil definitely have it cleaned. A dirty coil reduces efficiency of the AC system and reduces the air quality of the home.  A clogged condensation line can pour gallons of water every day into your home without you noticing.

While you have an AC tech at your home make sure you have an overflow valve installed to shut the system down when the condensation pan overfills.  It is also a good idea to have a bleach port added so you can flush the condensation line every month when you change your filters.

If a malfunctioning AC system causes water damage to the home make sure to call a professional like PuroClean to assess the damage and quickly take care of the problem.  For all of your water damage problems in Palm Bay, FL and the of Brevard and Indian River counties contact PuroClean.

Would you like to save money on your annual insurance premium?  Saving $50 a year would be nice, $100 would be great: well with www.mysafehomeinspection.com you can save upwards of $1000 per year on your home insurance by scheduling a FREE wind inspection.  It costs you nothing!  This was implemented by the FL govenor as a way to combat rising insurance premiums in FL.  Did I mention it was free.

This is a brief break down of how it works.  Your insurance provider has most likely never taken a close look at your house.  They just assume that it was built as poorly as possible with the cheapest materials available and they charge your accordingly.  So if you have half inch plywood on your roof, that is an upgrade.  If you have hurricane straps connecting your roof trusses to your walls, that is an upgrade.  If you have old sheets of plywood in the garage you throw over the windows when a hurricane approaches, that is an upgrade.  Get the picture?  So basic things that many homeowners already have will upgrade your construction status, qualifing you for a discount on your annual insurance premium.

"Good things come to those who wait," "You get what your pay for," and "Nothing in life is free" may all be true for most of your life, they do not apply now.  This program will go away, it will save you money, and it really, really, really is free.  An inspector just left my house an hour ago.  He was courteous, professional, and only here about half an hour.

Hope this will save you money,

Daniel with PuroClean

Have you not been able to find your keys?  Did you wish there was some special tool to find them no matter where they were hiding?  Well there is a special tool that will actually acomplish just that!  What would you do though if your were trying to find more than just your keys, how about finding wet walls after a flood or mold behind your drywall?

Professional water restoration companies keep a large array of specilty tools that allow them to discover hidden water, look behind walls, determine moisture content in wood flooring and many other things.  Here are some of those very tools:

BORESCOPE: Borescopes are basically a flexible fiberoptic lens.  They have powerful halogen lights that allow you to see in the complete black of wall cavities.  They are great at finding plumbing leaks, wall cavity mold and anything else you can think of.

MOISTURE METER: Moisture meters allow you to determine the relative or absolute moisture content in just about anything that is flat.  You can determine the relative moisture levels in drywall, concrete, plaster and many other things.  You can determine the actual moisture percentage in wood.  With this tool you can find where water has migrated in your wood floors, your drywall and even your concrete slab.  There is no damage done to the surface it measures as it only uses radio waves; it won't even mess up your stereo reception.

THERMO-HYGROMETER: A hygrometer is one of the best tools to have on a water loss.  They can tell you temperature, relative humidity, actual humidity and dew point.  The ability to track the actual humidity allows a restoration company to accurately document that the drying process is effective, as the absolute moisture content can be seen to drop over time.  The dew point measurement is great at explaining to property owners why their AC vents are sweating so much that they are dripping water on them.

There are many tools of the trade; each one has its own special use and when all of them are combined, property owners can have their water loss restored more quickly and with less damage.

We are now two weeks into the '07 hurricane season and have already experienced one tropical storm.  Tropical storm Barry made its way across Indian River County the first weekend of this season and despite being no stronger than a large thunderstorm actually managed to damage over 100 homes in the state.  Take this as a reminder to reflect how prepared for a potential hurricane you are.

• Have you stocked up on batteries, food, and water 
• Do you have a protected copy of your insurance policy (and other documents) ready to bring if you evacuate
• Take the time now to investigate companies that will be needed in case of damage: roofer, tree removal, & water restoration, to name a few

If a small tropical storm can cause damage to homes that made it through the '04 hurricane season, how much more so an actual hurricane or tornado?
