Home Inspection Sarasota fl – Germ Free Home

Tips to fend off germs lurking in your home

Home Inspection Sarasota fl helps homeowners keep their home germ free. Read on….

(ARA) – Germs and bacteria are almost everywhere, including the place you strive to keep the cleanest: your home. To shield against germs, consumers are spending more than $1 billion annually on antimicrobial products, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

“Because of viruses like H1N1 and other household germs, consumers are taking every precaution necessary to keep themselves and their families healthy, and that starts at home,” says Jackie Cooper, senior director of marketing and communications for Eureka. She suggests the following tips to achieve a clean and germ-free home:

* Cut germs off at the door by keeping antimicrobial wipes or hand sanitizers near the entrances to your home.

* Vacuum often. Use a vacuum with a bacteria-fighting solution to not only suck up dust and dirt but prevent bacteria from growing in or on the vacuum as well. Eureka’s FilterAir vacuum is treated with On-Guard Antimicrobial which inhibits the growth of bacteria on the brushroll and in specific parts of the dust cup.

Also be sure to change your vacuum filter and bag regularly. Filtrete antimicrobial accessories feature Ultra-Fresh to provide advanced protection from odor-causing bacteria in the vacuum’s bag or filter, while providing superior filtration for the home.

New Construction Home….

Tim Beavers,

Tim thank you for helping us with our new home. Our builder insisted we did not need a home inspector since they were offering a home warranty and they would be attentive to our needs. We would have never thought a new home would have such a long list of repairs! Thanks to you and your company we got our repairs done at no cost to us! One of the repairs was estimated at $931.54.

Taking that extra step….

Tim Beavers,

“Thank you Tim for taking the extra step to get my home sold. We had our home on the market for over a year. And then you came in with your expertise and made us aware of many things we had know idea we’re playing a factor in not selling our home” We got splurged and received all of the services you offered, well worth the extra couple bucks we spent!

Kent Rensing

PS. We need you to inspect our new home we’re buying are you available next week….

Thank goodness for AAHI….

Tim Beavers,

Thank goodness Above All Home Inspecting took care of my home while we were up north in the Hampton’s. Tim called us on a Wednesday to notify us of a plumbing issue. He helped us find a qualified plumber and stayed at our home until the repairs were complete. We would have never even known! We will continue to use your services until we take the leap of faith to move permanently down to Florida. Thanks again Tim!

Dishwasher Maintenance Tip

August Maintenance Tip

Does a dishwasher require any routine maintenance?

We all love the convenience of having a dishwasher, right! As with any appliance, dishwashers work better and last longer when properly maintained.

So, What Can Go Wrong?

The food drain or “trap” can become clogged with bits of food, preventing the dishwasher from draining properly.
The small holes in the spray arms can become clogged with food particles and minerals from the soap or water with high mineral contents.

Gaskets and seals, particularly around the dishwasher door, can dry out and crack over time.

The water supply hose or the drain hose can dry out and crack, causing leaks which can essentially cause damage and/or fungi growth on the underside of your cabinets.

What Can You Do To Prevent The Above ‘Happenings’!

The food drain trap is removable, so periodically take it out and clean it in the sink. Check your owner’s manual for instructions or go to the manufacture’s website and download a free copy of the manual.

The spray arms can be removed and cleaned in a mixture of warm water and vinegar to remove any mineral deposits. The point of a toothpick may also be useful in cleaning the holes.

Visually check the gaskets and seals around the door to see if there are any small cracks. If you see any cracks, the gasket can easily be replaced. Replacement gaskets can be ordered directly from the manufacturer or purchased at a home improvement store, most often.

Check the supply and drain hoses at least annually. If you see signs of deterioration, replace them. Supply and drain hoses are usually available at a local home improvement store or you can order them from the manufacturer.

Sarasota home inspectors – Five top trends in patio design

Five top trends in patio design

(ARA) – When does a trend become a tradition? With continued interest in creating great outdoor living spaces, the trend for jazzing up the backyard may just be on the verge of becoming a staple of the American home, and as much a requirement as a great kitchen or welcoming bath.

And every summer it seems homeowners find new ways to create a “wow effect” in their outdoor living spaces. The outdoor experts at ConcreteNetwork.com point to five hot trends in patio design to help elevate your backyard patio from a nice patch of bricks to your favorite spot to entertain and relax this summer:

1. Make the backyard a destination

More people are foregoing costly summer vacations in favor of sinking that travel money into creating a getaway spot in their own backyards. Enterprising homeowners are using decorative concrete to create mini theme parks with faux rock water features, sculpted pools with water slides and garden bridges.

2. Cost-sensible, eco-conscious

Environmental awareness doesn’t have to take a backseat to luxury, homeowners are finding. Backyard oases must also emphasize eco-consciousness, incorporating environmentally-friendly materials like concrete, which is sustainable. But they also like the organic look and feel that the material can impart. Concrete patios can mimic the look of natural stone – even lava – without the eco-impact associated with quarrying the real thing. Plus, concrete costs considerably less than many natural stone products.

3. Furniture built to last and last

Anybody can go to the local home improvement store and pick up a patio set. The truly trendy backyard designer turns to permanent backyard furniture, custom-made to fit your yard’s style. Custom concrete furniture can take on any shape, from pool tables and benches to patio tables and planters. It lasts a lifetime and never needs to be painted or refinished.

4. Light my fire

When it comes to creating ambiance, few home improvements pack the wallop of a fireplace. Outdoor hearths are growing in popularity as homeowners continue to recreate all the appeal of their home’s interior outside in the backyard. Whether you choose gas or wood-burning, custom designed or pre-cast, adding a fireplace to your outdoor landscape is sure to light up its appeal.

5. Size – and shape – matter

We’ve all seen patio disasters – the sprawling slab that totally dominates a tiny backyard, or the postage-stamp-sized patio that appears lost in a sea of grass. Homeowners are no longer leaving patio size to chance. Instead, they’re putting a lot of thought and planning into right-sizing their patio to create a living area that meets their needs and fits the profile of their backyard. How the space will be used and how much space you have to work with will be main factors in sizing your concrete patio, according to Scott Cohen of GreenSceneLandscape.com. You can also find a patio size chart  at www.concretenetwork.com/patio/size.html.

Whatever your personal style, and whether you’re aiming to improve your home’s resale value or enhance your enjoyment of your house, upgrading your outdoors is an investment that makes sense. Visit www.concretenetwork.com to learn more.  Courtesy of ARAcontent
