An extreme drought in northwest Ohio is posing significant risks to residential properties, despite the conclusion of the agricultural growing season. The primary issue stems from the region's clay-heavy soil, which typically expands with moisture but is currently shrinking and pulling away from foundations due to a severe lack of precipitation. This soil contraction can lead to serious structural damage, including cracked basement walls, uneven floors, and doors that stick.
Even if your home lacks a typical basement, work like crawlspace waterproofing can still offer significant benefits. This process boosts structural stability, improves air quality, and eliminates unpleasant odors.
When it comes to maintaining a durable and long-lasting roof, proper ventilation is often overlooked, yet it's one of the most critical components of any roofing system. Without adequate ventilation, not only can the performance of your roof be compromised, but you might also risk voiding your shingle manufacturer's warranty.
As we dive into the summer months, we're often reminded of the joys of warm weather and sunshine. However, summer also brings with it the challenges of increased humidity and the dreaded allergy season. These conditions can lead to an uncomfortable and unhealthy living environment, particularly in basements and crawl spaces.

April is known for its showers, but this year, it seemed like the rain just wouldn't stop. While we may have enjoyed the occasional cozy day indoors, all that rain can wreak havoc on our homes, especially if our sump pump systems aren't up to par. With the rainy season in full swing, it's crucial to check your sump pump to make sure it's working correctly and consider a battery backup system to handle power outages during storms.
