Chattanooga Home Maintenance

WOULDN’T IT BE GREAT IF HOMES HAD WARNING LIGHTS LIKE CARS?

We did a lot of home maintenance work last year. All of them were caused by the homeowner waiting too long to fix a problem that in most cases they were not even aware of until it was too late. A small roof leak became a bigger roof leak, which showed up as a small stain on the ceiling, and eventually the ceiling caved in.

• One home maintenance project started out as a problem with new hardwood floors buckling. This turned out to be caused by a very wet environment in the crawlspace that had existed for 20 years or more.

• Another home maintenance issue was an ongoing mold problem that had existed since the house was built, caused by a poorly ventilated attic space.

• Then there was a large structural repair to floor joists, subfloor, and all finishes including hardwood, ceramic tile, shower, etc…all caused by a slow leak in the shower pan.

You get the picture.

WE DO SIMPLE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IN OUR CARS. WHY NOT ROUTINE HOME MAINTENANCE?

There are several reasons:

• Out of sight, out of mind. Home maintenance begins with vigilance, and why go looking for trouble? (The Head-in-the Sand Approach. Not a good strategy for cars or homes.)

• Who wants to crawl around in the attic or the crawlspace? Most people don’t want to know what goes on in there.

• Busy. Busy. Busy. It’s hard to think of home maintenance when you have to cook and clean and get kids to soccer games. Do you really want to spend your weekends fixing your roof and siding?

• Budget. Routine home maintenance is rarely included in the family budget. Until, of course, a small home repair becomes a Big home repair and you have to take out a loan to fix it.

So, what can be done to keep small home maintenance issues from becoming big problems?
