REMODELING?

QUESTIONS TO ASK DURING YOUR PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING Embarking on a remodeling project is an exciting endeavor—you’re finally going to get that new kitchen or finished basement you’ve been longing for. But going under the knife, so to speak, is also a stressful prospect. That’s why scheduling a pre-construction meeting with your remodeling professional is so important.

According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the pre-construction meeting is a key opportunity for the remodeler to explain exactly what will be done, as well as how the job will progress. It also provides a chance for both parties to define their expectations and flag any problems that may arise. The goal is to alleviate as many surprises in advance as possible.

With peak home remodeling season right around the corner, now is the time to contact your trusted contractor or home remodeler to discuss a remodel. Here are just some of the issues the NAHB recommends you discuss with your remodeling professional during the pre-construction meeting: Are you okay with signs on your property? In addition to acting as a marketing tool, signs help contractors and suppliers locate your home. Decide now whether you will agree to this.

If you have an alarm system, determine how it will be handled. Will you give the construction crew a key, or do you plan on having someone on the premises to let them in?

Ask if any utilities will be interrupted during the remodel, such as water or electric, and if so, for how long. This will help you decide whether you will need to find other accommodations for a period of time.

What are your rules concerning workers using your landline for local calls? What about using your bathroom?

Figure out a plan for removal of trash. Agree upon where the dumpster will be located.

Discuss which areas of your home will be off limits to workers. You may discover that workers need access to certain rooms for part of the project.

What will take place in terms of daily cleanup? Make sure your expectations are in sync with what will actually take place.

When will work begin and end each day?

Where will workers park? Once you find out, be sure to let neighbors know.

Let your remodeler know what your rules are when it comes to smoking, profanity and music.

Laying all of this out in advance will help make for a smooth project and a pleasant working relationship for all. So contact your local home remodeler or contractor today to start getting everything planned out.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR WATER HEATER GOING STRONG ALL WINTER LONG

By Anita Ginsburg

It's never convenient to have your water heater stop working, but it is even worse during the winter. To ensure your water heater is fit to last the entire season, here are some tips for routine maintenance that you can perform.

As you cover these points, you can also conduct a mini assessment of your water heater's health to identify any warning signs or potential hazards that may need to be corrected before the temperature drops.

Page 15

CHECK THE VALVE

SET THE TEMPERATURE

Most water heaters are built to last over a decade, but as they age, they require more care and attention. Even just a few minutes of annual maintenance can prevent unnecessary malfunctions and disruptive breakdowns. The first thing you should do prior to winter is check the water pressure valve; it's located on the side of your water heater, and it stops the temperature from rising to dangerous levels.

Your water heater should be capped at 120 degrees Fahrenheit, so as to prevent scalding and burns. If your heater doesn't have a built-in temperature gauge, you can use a standard cooking thermometer to test the water temperature. If any of the hot water coming from your faucets surpasses 120 degrees, there is a higher risk of mechanical failure, sediment build-up and burn injuries to you and your family.

If too much pressure builds up, though, your water heater tank could actually explode. To release pressure and ensure yours is in tip-top shape, place a bucket beneath your water heater's discharge pipe and lift the pressure-release valve.

Water should discharge at this point. If it doesn't, the valve needs to be replaced.

If you find that your temperature gauge is set properly, but your water is too hot or too cold, contact a professional right away to identify the cause of the problem. Your tank may need flushed or there could be a mechanical issue that needs addressed.

HAVE THE TANK FLUSHED

ADD INSULATION

One of the most common water heater repair jobs is a tank cleaning.

This removes built-up residue, dirt and sediment that accumulates throughout the year. Experts recommend annual flushes, which can be done at an affordable cost. Having a technician conduct the cleaning can also ensure your heater is functioning properly as they'll also do a professional inspection.

If they notice any other problems, they can inform you about the risk and offer potential solutions. You can add these repairs to the current job or schedule them for later at your convenience.

If your water heater is a decade old or even older, it might not be properly insulated.

Newer models come insulated to prevent heat loss and maintain system stability. However, older models will require a fiberglass jacket. Make sure that you consult your owner's manual prior to installing any insulation; you should also avoid any type of contact with the furnace's flue.

If you aren't sure how to safety insulate your furnace and its pipes, this job can easily be done in a few hours by a licensed plumber.

No one wants to deal with cold water in the middle of winter. To ensure that your home's water stays nice and warm all season long, check your water heater and do some basic maintenance. If you're unsure about something or you notice a problem, have a professional come take a look at it. The sooner you catch potential problems, the easier they will be to take care of!
