Things You Should Know Before Buying Real Estate
Article By Gerald Warren
Buyers Real Estate and Home Inspection Tips
A Common Cause of Water Penetration Into the BasementOne of the common causes of water and moisture in the basement is non directed
rain water from the downspouts. If there is water penetration and staining in the corner
of the basement there a good chance that it's being caused a downspout on the exterior of the house discharging water right up alongside the foundation in that corner of the house.
Rain water downspouts should discharge the water by a downspout extension a least
four feet away from the foundation to help assure against water penetration into the basement. For ever one inch of rain about 800 gallons of water comes off the average
size roof, that a lot of water to be discharging alongside the basement. One of the major causes of water penetration into the basement is caused by downspout discharge to close to the foundation. And of all the different water problems causing water penetration into the basement , extending the downspouts discharge away from the foundation is the least expensive fix.
Note - water discharging right next to the foundation, over time will penetrate the house and can do some serious damage.
Fireplace Safety and Maintenance Tips
The following is five tips on fireplace safety and maintenance:
(1) Wood burning creates a build up of what is called creosote in the flue and fireplace. We recommend that a least once a year have the fireplace and flue cleaned by a professional chimney sweep.
(2) check the bricks and mortar in the fireplace for cracks or loose brick and deteriorated mortar.
(3) Rain cap - recommend having a rain cap with a screen on the chimney to keep the rain and animals out of the chimney.
(4) Damper check - before lighting a fire always check to see if the damper is functional and open to let the smoke out.
(5) Wood - always try to burn good wood to keep the creosote buildup in the flue to a minimum. Some of the popular good woods for fireplace burning are maple, oak, ash, birch.
(5) The most dangerous thing about burning wood in a fireplace is a ember flying out of the fireplace onto the rug and starting a fire. For fire safety we recommend a spark guard to contain any flying embers. A spark guard is a fine screen that is specially designed to be placed in front of the fireplace that will arrest flying embers. In other words, don't light a fire in the fireplace without a fire screen especially if furniture and rugs are in the area.
