Roof Repair

The roof is one of, if not the most, important parts of your home. After all, it protects it from the elements. However, the roof is also highly susceptible to rotting, leaks, and far worse. When your roof is damaged, you usually have to fix it immediately because it can make your home uninhabitable, especially if it happens during the winter or rainy season. Spot leaks and lost shingles are easily fixable for a few hundred dollars, but when the damage is dangerous or too extensive, you may be forced to replace the roof completely.

HVAC System Repair

Your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC) allows you to control the internal environment of your home. Without proper maintenance, your HVAC system may get damaged, requiring expensive repairs or even a replacement. HVAC systems tend to break down when you need them most, such as the winter and summer months when they are working the hardest. It should be inspected to make sure electrical connections are tightened, moving parts are lubricated, and the refrigerant level is right among other needs.

Water Heater Repair

A water heater is something that homeowners use on a daily basis without really giving much thought to it. Most people never really think about their water heater until it needs to be fixed. On average, a water heater should serve you well for 5-10 years, but unforeseen events like mineral buildup or overuse can damage your water heater any time. When your water heater is damaged, you will not get to take that hot shower you usually look forward to after a busy day, and it can also cause flooding if you fail to deal with it promptly.

Foundation Repair

If your house is built in an area where the soil contracts during the dry season and swells during the rainy season, your foundation could be at risk. Water is a foundation killer; it seeps through concrete, sprouts mold, settles in basements, and empties wallets. Water can cause your foundation walls to crack or settle wreaking havoc throughout the exterior of your home. When your foundation is compromised, you may see random cracks on your floor and walls, sloping floors, water pools in the basement and edges of the house, or difficulties closing doors and windows. Foundation damage is extremely serious, and it can cost you tens of thousands of dollars to fix.

Siding Repair

Your siding is also a vital part of your house. Think of it as the skin of your home, protecting it from external threats while giving it an aesthetic appeal. If your house is fully or partially covered in aluminum, vinyl, or wooden siding, water can sneak past damaged parts, leading to insect invasions, rot, and interior damage. Repairing individual sidings is cheap and easy, but when you need to replace the entire square footage, you will have to write a fat check to a siding repair expert.

Septic System Repair

If your home is not connected to a public sewage system, you need a septic tank to sort out your house waste. A septic tank works just like a sewage treatment facility, separating the fats and solids from household waste and using beneficial bacteria to treat the leftover liquid. Septic systems require special care and maintenance that many people take for granted. For instance, flushing the wrong chemicals down a drain or failing to pump out the tank can result in a system-wide failure.

Water Line Repair

The water line connects your home to the public water system. If you solely depend on your local government to supply water to your home, your water line is not something you ever want to be damaged since it can cut off the water supply to your entire home. When the main water line is damaged, it creates a huge underground flood that can seep up to your lawn and create huge puddles. We do not recommend trying to fix this on your own. To repair a leak like this, crews will have to get to the water line to identify the source of your leak. They will need to go through your lawn, driveway, tree roots, and other areas of your landscaping. After paying to have your water line fixed, you will also need to pay someone to restore your landscaping to its original form (unless you have a green thumb and do it yourself).

Pipe Repair

Water pipes run through your foundation and walls, delivering water to the bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room, and anywhere else that you need it. When pipes are broken, it can take anywhere from minutes to months to notice the damage. If it is a small leak, it can be hard to notice even though it will be silently causing a lot of damage to your home. When you suspect your pipes are broken or when you detect it after an inspection, the first thing you should do is to turn off the main water valve to prevent further damage. Fixing a broken pipe is something that you can do on your own and is usually not that expensive. However, if you need to go through the walls or the foundation, you might want to hire a plumber to deal with it.

Deck Repair

A wooden deck provides the perfect spot to enjoy a summer cookout with friends or family and also adds value to your home. However, if you fall behind the recommended maintenance schedule, your deck could fall apart due to rot, insects, or flooding. It could cost you thousands of dollars to replace your entire deck. To avoid this, you should always keep your deck clean and apply the recommended products to enhance its longevity. Sealant will keep moisture out and wood stain will refresh its color. Also, a regular inspection will help you detect rot or insect invasion and stop it before the issue becomes a full-blown problem.

Sewer Line Repair

If your home is connected to the public sewer line, you usually have a sewer line connecting your home to the public sewage systems. No homeowner ever wants to see their sewer line face to face. It looks terrible and can spread terrible odors to the entire neighborhood. Remember, your town’s liability for the sewage system ends at the street. That means the homeowner is responsible for the sewer line underneath his or her property. The cost of repairing a broken sewer line may not be expensive, but cleaning up the mess can be costly and disgusting. Depending on the severity of the issue, you may need to check into a hotel or move in with a close friend for a couple of days.

Electrical System Repair

Electrical faults can happen at any time, rendering your entire home or parts of your home powerless. When your electrical system is damaged, you may notice flickering lights, circuit breakers tripping too often, and appliances shocking you or going off unexpectedly. If your neighbors have power and you do not, your electrical system could be damaged. If you do not fix it promptly, your home is at risk of a fire, prolonged power outage, and you could even be putting your life at risk. It is not safe or easy for the average homeowner to conduct electrical repairs, so unless you really know what you are doing, have a professional electrician take care of it.

Driveway Repair

Asphalt driveways have to withstand the weight of vehicles and constantly-changing weather patterns. This can lead to cracking or crumbling of your driveway, forcing you to repair it or replace it entirely. To preserve your asphalt driveway, I recommend using a driveway sealer to protect it against the elements.

Floor Repair

Your floor can get damaged after many years of wear and tear or if you accidentally drop a heavy object on it (in the case of wood flooring or tile). Cracks in your flooring or loose tiles are two signs that your floor probably needs repair or replacement. Also, a wood floor may be squeaky when you walk on it when it is damaged.

Clogged Drains or Toilet

I am not talking about a simple clog that can be fixed with a plunger or an auger. I mean complicated clogs that usually take a lot of work to fix. Clogged drains of this sort can lead to a terrible mess and make it impossible to use your kitchen or bathrooms. A clogged toilet is even worse since it can cause disgusting sewage water to overflow and spread all over your bathroom. Clogging can be as a result of many factors and it is not easy to figure out on your own what is caused the clog.
