Understanding the maintenance our home requires is crucial in caring for it. Regular maintenance can help to keep our homes protected and in good working order. One of the greatest threats to our home is water intrusion from either outside or inside of your home. Water intrusion left unattended can lead to deterioration and wood destroying organisms like insects or fungal growth. As your home ages it requires regular and maintenance and small repairs to keep it in good working order and help prevent deterioration that can lead to more serious problems.
