             Testing is not costly (usually $40-50) for just radon. If your looking to test for a lot more than it usually runs about $200-400. The … (0 comments)

Costly home improvement mistakes! - 02/28/12 03:07 PM
Use your real estate professionals to your advantage. When thinking of remodeling a home one of the biggest things overlooked is ROI or Return on Investment.

Whenever I make any home improvements i consult with several professionals in my area of interest to get the industry standard for the ROI. Where i differ from some is that i verify this ROI with my Realtor and thanks … (2 comments)

Wells and Real Estate! - 02/27/12 07:32 AM
 
Wells and Real Estate
 
 
 
Some may wonder why exactly a water well company is on a real estate site. Water Well companies actually deal with real estate companies on a weekly basis. Many towns often require home owners to test the quality and quantity of a well before selling. Or perhaps the buyer wants to do their own testing before hand. Regardless it is important for real estate agents to keep contact with their local well companies.

 
 

 
The most common form of testing is a quality and quantity (flow test). A quality … (0 comments)

U.S Taking Water From Mexico?
 
In the past year or so there has been legislation on possibly taking water from Mexico to wean the country off of the Colorado River. The idea is to have Mexico ship water to water plants where we can desalinate (Turn salt water into fresh water- Also an extremely expensive procedure) and use the water. The Colorado River has been in danger of a sever drought for many years now and this may be the solution. However the amount of money and electricity needed to create these plants and ship up the water … (3 comments)

Dry or virtually useless well? You have options! - 02/10/12 11:45 AM
 
Hydro-Fracking A Well
 
 
 
            Often when a well is dug it does not produce enough water to be useful.  Over time a well can also run dry. But don’t ever worry about spending all the money on a well for no water. You do have options. Many choose to hydro-frack a well because it is not only cheaper, but it is generally effective. If you do not want to hydro-frack a well than you can deepen it, essentially just making your well deeper in hopes of striking water.

Energy Star is a great way to reduce energy bills, greenhouse gas emissions, and your environmental foot print. Energy Star appliances are reasonably priced, and on average last longer than the leading brand.
