cameron park: Foaming Pipes Can Mean A Gas Leak in Cameron Park - 01/04/16 10:01 PM
 
Foaming Pipes Can Mean A Gas Leak
 
 
A proven way to test for leaking gas pipes is to spray soapy water on the joints. If there is a leak, the soapy water will bubble up and be visible. I ran across this a while ago behind an apartment building and notified the manager at  Cameron Park apartment community. No one seemed to be aware of any testing, and I was there early in the morning. This form of testing usually only last for a few minutes then the water dries up and needs to be sprayed again. Not sure why this … (3 comments)

cameron park: I Think My Upper Cabinets Are Falling Down - 12/03/15 10:31 PM
I Think My Upper Cabinets in
Cameron Park Are Falling Down
 
In following up on a call to a home in Cameron Park yesterday, I discover that the upper cabinets were falling away from the ceiling. The cabinets were hanging from the ceiling away from the wall, it appeared to be an anchorage problem. I could only see a few screws through the top of the units.
In checking further into why the cabinets were coming down, I could see that not all the screws made contact with solid backing. Sheetrock alone will not hold up these cabinets. Since it was … (13 comments)

cameron park: Retaining Wall Posts Are Rotted - 10/12/15 10:22 PM
Retaining Wall Posts Are Rotted
 
 
We are working on replacing a long section of retaining walls in Cameron Park made of wood. The wood posts, though pressure treated to preserve, are rotten in the center of the post. It appears that the tops and bottoms of the pressure treated lumber was not protected. Most manufactures recommend adding chemical protection to the cut surfaces to prevent this from happening.

Adding Some Under The Cabinet Lighting
 
 
As a part of a kitchen remodel in Cameron Park, a contractor may be asked to do a small portion of a owner/contractor remodel. I had the opportunity to add some under the cabinet lighting in a kitchen in Cameron Park. This was one of the final touches as the project came to an end. The owners were thrilled with the way the kitchen turned out.

Somethings There Is A Tradeoff!
 
When working in an apartment community there are times when you have to work around the schedules of others. With this comes a trade off by all those involved. If all parties work together and are willing to make some sacrifices, work can get done.
We are doing some stabilization work to the framing of the floor and ceiling of a unit, there seems to be a lot of movment that the resident noticed. To do this project, we have to get inside his unit and get access to the problem areas. However, he has limited us to … (6 comments)

Forklift by Nugget Magically Appears
in Cameron Park, CA
 
For years there was a grocery market in Cameron Park over near Burke's Junction, it has been replaced with a new market called ForkLift. I had not heard of this company so I had to check into it a bit to get the details and to see how it was different from the Food For Less that it replaced.
 
First, Forklift is owned by Nugget Market who has been committed providing our guests high-quality, specialty products along with conventional products at the same low prices. Oddly enough, the same … (8 comments)

cameron park: My Guess Is That It Was Not An Expert's Repair - 12/09/14 02:05 PM
 
My Guess Is That It Was Not
An Expert's Repair
 
 
While I was climbing around working on some dry rot repairs to the siding of a building in Cameron Park, I noticed womething that did not look normal. I was convinced it was not done by an expert.
What I saw was the end cap to a gutter that had several sheet metal screws drilled through it to hold it together. This is not the usual practice for this repair. I was not around during the last rain storm, I'm wondering if it is working. Just because … (4 comments)

We Just Need To Open It Up A Bit
 
A common method of removing and drying walls is to open up the lower portion of the wall. Part of this water damage restoration method is to get the saturated material taken out before molds and mildew can begin. The other part is that with the wall opened like this, fans can be used to eliminate any moisture within the wall cavity.
If you have ever had a small flood or water leak you may recognize the photo. There may be other actions taken to restore a property to it's … (10 comments)

cameron park: Another Tub/Shower Kit Installed in Cameron Park, CA - 09/19/14 04:20 PM
 
Another Tub/Shower Kit Installed
in Cameron Park, CA
 
I am not talking about some custom bathroom with fancy materials, just your basic Fiberglass Tub/Shower Kit. This particular Apartment Community uses the three wall system with fitted tub. It is relatively inexpensive and the model produced today is virtually identical to the unit being replaced that was installed 25+ years ago.
The benefit of installing the same model tub/shower is that none of the plumbing needs to be moved to a new location to fit. This can really save time, and helps when getting these units “turned”. This really helped … (9 comments)

My Fascia Boards Are Rotted,
I Need A Contractor
 

 
Most homeowners do not even know what a fascia board is, most hear about it for the first time when it comes up on an inspection or pest report. Often times this is a difficult board to replace; it is usually up high and needs to be done from a ladder and the nailing requires a lot of time to remove and replace.
If you are in need of replacing your fascia board, I would strongly suggest having it professionally done by a contractor.

I Keep Patching the Crack
But It Just Comes Right Back!
 
Maybe you have had one of these stubborn cracks in your wall or ceiling; no matter how many times you patch it, it just keeps coming back. Each time you bring out the supplies, you are certain that this will be the last time. In a matter of days the hairline crack begins again. Why is that?
There are a couple of things to think about here. A crack can be the result of a shift and movement, building materials do not crack without this movement. We … (12 comments)

Out of sight, out of mind!
 
 

 
I sometimes have to point out dry rot damage to the owners that they have missed in their search for water damage. A common area is they siding above the roof. Though it is pretty apparent if you know what to look for, it can be overlooked.
A contractor may be able to help you spot those problem areas.

Reasonable Modification Contractor Helps Residents To Stay In Their Sacramento Homes
 
 
As an apartment repair contractor in the Sacramento Area, I have been asked to make some Reasonable Modifications to the apartment building in Cameron Park. A Reasonable Modification can come in many forms; it is a change to the residents unit, walkway, or even the access to help accommodate them.
 
The accommodation may be needed for the elderly, handicapped, or special needs. It often means that the resident can change the apartment, at their own cost and approval of management or owners. The agreement may also … (25 comments)

What's up with all these broken drain lines?
 

 
I got a call to check out a broken drain line while repairing a drain in another apartment unit. There seems to be a rush of these cracked ABS drain pipes in this Cameron Park Community. I'm not sure why they are happen at the same time, probably just a coincidence.
 
In any event, as a general contractor in the Cameron Park area I look forward to more of these sorts of plumbing repairs still to come.

Even a small apartment fire can be troublesome
 
Over the holiday weekend, there was a small apartment fire in a Cameron Park apartment community. Luckily the tenants had insurance and quickly contacted there insurance company for help. That was just the beginning of the apartment repair.
The fire was small; it started on the stove and ruined the stove and microwave oven. Apparently it was a grease fire that burned for a while until the fire department and staff could get to it. The cabinets, counters and flooring can all be saved, but the smoke carried throughout the unit. This … (32 comments)
