Keeping Repair Costs Down

Neglecting routine house maintenance affects not only your enjoyment of your home; it can also affect the home's resale value.

Here are eight common household problems you should stay on top of to keep home repair costs down. Along with each problem is a brief explanation of the damage that can occur if the problem is not corrected early.

  • Faulty roof flashings: Roof leaks and possible structural and cosmetic damage.
  • Poor foundation grading: Dampness or water inside the house.
  • Poor tub/shower caulking/grouting: A water leak can spread virtually anywhere, but mainly to the room(s) below the fixture.
  • Damaged bathroom tile: Loose fixtures and water leakage to the floor below.
  • Not enough electrical outlets: Overloading of existing outlets and a potential fire hazard.
  • Poor attic ventilation: Roof sheathing rot from excess moisture.
  • Poor mechanical system upkeep: Systems that will not work efficiently or will fail before the end of their expected life spans - particularly true for heating and cooling systems.
