Well, spring
has sprung! It is finally getting warmer and the trees are beginning to bud.
Now is a good time to start thinking of spring maintenance. Here is a list
of some springtime spruce-up items:
o
Change the
battery in your smoke and CO detectors
o
Scrape, prime and
paint exposed wood surfaces (sides, tops and
bottoms)
o
Repair any loose or
missing caulk around doors, windows and other openings
o
After the maple and
birch trees have “done their thing” clean and adjust gutters
o
Treat your lawn for
crabgrass pre-emergence
(crabgrass seeds
germinate when soil temps are consistently above 50º)
o
Sweep sand and debris
from the grass along the street
o
Have a tree expert
remove any loose, hanging or threatening branches
o
If you have a
humidifier attached to your furnace, have it serviced
o
If you have central
air conditioning, schedule a seasonal tune-up and change filter
Performing a
little maintenance each season will keep your home in tip-top shape.
To get a good idea how your home is holding up, get a home check-up from a
home inspector. A home check-up can identify small issues before they become
major expenses. A home inspector can help you compile a punch list of items
that may need attention in the future. Having a roof replaced can cost $7000
to $15000 or more. Saving a little each year will prepare you for that
expense. Visit our website

home check-up inspection.

Beginning in
May 2005, Cedar Hill will be offering
New Construction Inspections.
This new and growing field of construction inspection is exciting and
rewarding. For the home builder, a new construction inspection is like
having your own quality assurance inspector overseeing the major steps in
construction of your new home. From plan review to final inspection, Cedar
Hill will advise you and the general contractor of quality construction
techniques. We are an enhancement to the local code official in the town
where you are building. We can identify issues that could be costly to
rectify or repair after construction is complete, issues that could manifest
themselves years in the future. Visit our website at
www.cedarhillinspect.com today to learn more
about new construction
inspections.
Cedar Hill Home Inspection Services, LLC is proud to announce continuous
electronic radon in air monitoring. Our new electronic equipment, from
Sun Nuclear, continuously monitors the air during the test period. The
unit is tamper resistant and has battery back-up. The unit stores hourly
data that is output to our computer after the sample period
(typical test
period for real estate transactions is 48 hours)
and a report is generated. Cedar
Hill will continue to use charcoal canisters analyzed at a local laboratory
by request. Both methods are approved for real estate transactions per
federal EPA protocols. To schedule an
inspection or radon test,
