Slab Leak Detection and Repair. Expensive GRU bills are one of the unfortunate things about being a Gainesville resident. However, if you begin noticing your water and power bill are becoming unusually high; you may be facing a leak in the foundation of your home. A slab leak is an industry term for when water begins leaking below the concrete foundation of your home.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Often, the culprit is copper water pipes, which can wear easily, causing serious damage. These leaks can spread and become worse over time, if not treated. Thus, early detection and remediation are extremely important in preventing further damage.

Here are some things you should look for if you think your home has a slab leak:

  • Hearing running water when all water is turned off.
  • If one spot on the floor feels particularly warmer than others.
  • Formation of mildew, mold or moisture underneath carpets.
  • The appearance of cracks in the walls or flooring.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Another helpful tool is to check your water meter. How much water is being used? Every month, the average household uses around 1,500 to 3,000 gallons of water per person. If you’re using more than this amount; it is important to have a professional and licensed business test for a possible slab leak. A very small leak, only millimeters in size; can add up to seven gallons per day and your water meter will spin showing water is flowing.

At Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling, our specially certified technicians are uniquely equipped to handle all aspects of slab leak detection and remediation. Because we utilize top-of-the-line equipment that can pinpoint exactly where the leak originated; in order to properly handle the solution. In addition, we use non-evasive, acoustic, line tracing and thermal cameras for leak detection.

Using this technology, we can provide you with written, photographed and video damage of the repair so you can be aware of how the leak started. It is also helpful information to share with your insurance company to speed up claim processing.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips. Most people tend to think of air pollution as something that only happens outside; smog, ozone, or haze hanging in the air, especially as the weather gets warmer. But the truth is, the air inside your home may be even more polluted than the air outside. So, be sure to protect yourself from allergens and pollutants and mold using these tips.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Clean Sweep
It can be easy to ignore chores, but it’s important to clean your home regularly to reduce allergens and irritants. A thorough dusting with a damp cloth instead of a feather duster; is a great way to keep your air clean. But don’t forget to suck it up, mop it up, and keep it out! Vacuuming and then mopping will get rid of any particles that are lingering on your floors. In addition,  leaving a large floor mat at every door will reduce the amount of pesticides and other pollutants; that come in via the dirt on your shoes.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Mold

Most Floridians have experience dealing with mold. Since mold loves warm, damp environments, and that pretty much sums up Florida’s weather. But don’t let your home be a mold victim because most mold is preventable. So, be sure to follow these easy steps to avoiding hazardous growths in your home.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Be Proactive

If condensation is collecting around window sills, walls or pipes, dry it quickly. Increasing ventilation and air movement in moist rooms is the best way to prevent mold growth. Because in most cases, if a damp area is dried within 48 hours of a leak or spill; mold will not grow. Turn on a fan or open a window while or immediately after; showering, cooking, and dishwashing will also help prevent mold growth.

If you would like more information about; air quality, mold, and allergens, please contact the air quality specialists at Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling. Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling is a State Certified Mold Remediator.

Rediscover Sleeping Porches

Rediscover Sleeping Porches. Have you ever slept on a sleeping porch? But, If not, you owe it to yourself to experience the slumber of a Sleeping Porch. Sleeping porches were common for many of the homes in the South around the 1920’s. Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling can design and build a Sleeping Porch for you.

Rediscover Sleeping Porches

Rediscover Sleeping Porches

Sleeping porches were born out of the recent discovery of germs in the 1920’s. Because the sleeping porch offered a healthy and comfortable escape from the potentially germ-filled indoor air. Since, in the early 1900’s, tuberculosis was the number one cause of death; and fresh air was the best treatment for people suffering from this lung ailment. The population in the southern states discovered that by building a screened, private porch; they could enjoy the cooler summer nights rather than sleeping in a stuffy and warm bedroom. In addition, the sleeping porch provided cover from sudden summer thunderstorms. In addition, it was open on two or more sides to catch the evening breezes. These porches became an especially popular place for children to spend their summer nights.

Sleeping on your screened porch is becoming popular again as people seek to spend more time connecting with nature. Also, you can convert your screened porch to a sleeping porch with the simple addition of a bed. But, you don’t have a screened porch? Well then, let us build one for you!

Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

Hardie Fiber Cement Siding. Picking the right siding for your house is a delicate balancing act between good looks, durability, maintenance, and affordability. Since, with wood, vinyl, stone, brick, or stucco, you might get only two or three of these. But with fiber cement, you get all four. Because it’s the only siding that combines the performance of masonry with minimal upkeep. In addition, Hardie Fiber Cement Siding is rot-proof, fire-proof, and termite-proof. Also, Hardie Fiber Cement Siding is unaffected by wind or cold. Furthermore, Hardie Fiber Cement Siding has the look of painted wood clapboards, shingles, even stone or brick. Therefore, fiber cement goes for just a fraction of the cost of these other materials. So, no wonder nearly 15 percent of new homes are clad with this siding.

Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

  1.  Durability

Unlike wood or even vinyl siding, fiber cement siding is as strong as concrete. Fiber-cement siding composition may vary from company to company, but the basic recipe is; Portland cement, sand, and cellulose (wood) fibers. Because, wood fiber helps prevent cracking, as does a special curing process that leaves fiber cement with a low moisture content.

Fiber-cement siding has the durability of cement is impervious to wood-boring insects; does not rot, and is resistant to deterioration from salt and ultraviolet rays. In addition, Fiber-cement siding is low-maintenance, impact-resistant, and available in finished or painted options. That’s why most companies warranty their product for 50-years, which is proof of its durability.

  1. Fire-Resistant

Fiber-cement siding has a class 1A fire rating. It is 45 times more fire-resistant than even new vinyl siding and of course all natural wood sidings.

  1. Energy Efficiency

Older homes are often drafty and poorly insulated; which not only makes it hard to keep the home comfortable, it wastes valuable energy. You can kill two birds with one stone by adding extra insulation and improving your home’s exterior appearance with high-quality siding.

  1. Style

Covering the exterior of a home with new siding will certainly improve the home’s appearance. But, it’s the little things that add oomph and style. A little bling can make a huge difference! Whether it’s adding some extra chrome to a pickup truck or a scarf and some earrings to an outfit; it’s the accessories that set things apart from the crowd.

The same is true with your home’s exterior. Fortunately, while you’re replacing your home’s worn exterior with siding that mimics the appearance of wood; you can use trim pieces to add that something extra to your home that it may never have had before. In the case of older homes with ornate trim; the trim can protect and beautify the home while preserving its original style.

Decorative trim can be used to wrap corners, posts, window trim and other exterior surfaces that you might not have considered; all of which add maintenance free curb appeal to your home.

  1. Cost

Fiber cement siding is slightly more expensive than vinyl, but 1/3 the average price of wood, stone, even stucco!

As a James Hardie Preferred Remodeling Contractor, Gainesville Restoration & Remodeling has received complete factory training in all James Hardie products, including technology and installation methods.  We can work with old or new homes currently built with; T-111, cedar siding, vinyl siding, or any other wood based siding.

Ask the representative what materials you should bring to the initial meeting; so the company can best understand your needs and give you an appropriate estimate. Knowing what you want will make it easier when the company that creates the plans and specifications.

Time to Meet!

Once you have narrowed down the list of potential companies; it’s important that the company you choose can answer any questions regarding your project and put you at ease with any concerns you might have. Communication is key when working on projects in your home.

Get Estimates

Asking more than one company for an estimate is a crucial step. Every company has a different perspective on costs. Be sure to choose the one that fits your budget and your preferences the most. Keep in mind that going for the company with the lowest costs is not always the best decision. Ask for a detailed line item estimate showing allowances for fixtures, building materials, and permits. The golden rule is to get at least two estimates!

Put it in Writing

The contractor should draft a contract that states every detail of the project. It should include the payment schedule, the start and completion dates and specific materials that will be used. You should also require the contract to acquire lien releases. This protects you from any financial responsibility if your contractor doesn’t pay the necessary bills from subcontractors and supply companies. If there are any changes to your contract, a change order is needed. A change order is a written authorization to the contractor to make changes or additions to the original contract.

Warranty

Make sure your contractor offers a warranty and verify the duration and what’s covered by the warranty. The warranty also needs to be in writing.
