3 Seasonal Prep Tips to Help Homeowners Weather Summer Storms strategies:

Take Preventative Precautions

VALLEY AUCTIONS VALLEY HEALTH

According to the survey, high winds (49%) topped the list of weather-related culprits, followed by falling limbs and roof damage (42%), clogged gutters (32%), and structural issues from debris (28%). Water leaks also frequently occur inside the home and affect a sizable number of homeowners (30%).

(StatePoint) From unexpected downpours to damaging winds, homeowners should be prepared for emergency repairs when storms appear this summer.

A recent nationwide survey of 1,000 homeowners by T-Rex Tape, a leading maker of premium repair tapes, revealed that 100% of respondents have experienced damage requiring immediate attention following extreme weather events, with summer leading as the season with the most extreme weather events (37%).

Although nearly two-thirds of them (64%) report they’re not fully prepared to make emergency fixes, all still attempted a DIY repair when it was needed. With the right tools and knowledge, quick action can help minimize damage and buy valuable time before professional repairs are possible.

To help homeowners manage emergency storm cleanup and repairs, Kerry Haugh, director of product marketing for T-Rex Brand, shares some proactive

Haugh suggests that preventative maintenance is one of the most effective ways to reduce emergency damage. “Homeowners should regularly check roofs and siding for any signs of wear and ensure sump pumps and other plumbing fixtures are working and free of clogs,” she explains. “It’s also important to clean out gutters to ensure water flow and prevent backup that can cause problems.”

Fill Your Toolbox

In urgent situations, some homeowners reported resorting to improvised,

unreliable solutions like towels (39%), clothing (18%) or even newspapers (15%) to plug leaks. It’s crucial to keep essential emergency repair supplies on hand in one easily accessible location. A standard toolkit should include useful items, such as hammers, nails, tarps, sealant and strong waterproof repair tape specifically designed to hold up under tough conditions.

“Extreme weather is inevitable, and having the right tools on hand

can help safeguard the home,” Haugh says. “While many households have traditional duct tape, waterproof and repair tape, such as T-Rex Waterproof and Repair Tape, is ideal for durable, post-storm repairs since it’s specifically designed to adhere to wet or uneven surfaces until permanent repairs can be made.”

Tips to Cut Cleaning Time in Half

(StatePoint) Looking for ways to simplify household chores so you can have more time to relax? Here are three strategies to cut the time you spend cleaning in half:

Use Double-Duty Tools

If you’re still using a conventional mop and vacuum, you’re working twice as hard as you need to be. One tool

VALLEY HEALTH

UV acrylic adhesive that is repositionable, T-Rex Waterproof and Repair Tape instantly seals out water, air and moisture -- even under water. Plus, it stands up in temperatures ranging from -40 degrees F to 240 degrees F, providing all weather durability.

Make Quick, PostStorm Repairs

Once it’s safe to go outside, homeowners should assess any risks and

utilize items in their toolkit to help prevent damage in and outside the home, looking for any interior or exterior issues or leaks that could cause damage if not addressed. Haugh suggests using those key toolbox items as an effective temporary solution.

“Most individuals expect a temporary repair to last a few hours to a few days, but more than 65% of homeowners were surprised

by the strength and durability of products like waterproof tape when addressing storm-related leaks,” she states. “We’ve learned waterproof and repair tape should be included among other DIY repair staples, like a hammer and nails.”

With the right tools

in your toolbox, homeowners can stay prepared to weather winds, rain and other extreme conditions this summer.

that pulls double-duty is the Tineco iFloor 3 Ultra.

With up to 25 minutes of runtime and a helpful onboard LED display featuring realtime information about machine functions, including battery level, power status, blockage indicators and more, the floor washer will be ready to clean when you are. Added accessories include brush rollers, filters and cleaning solutions. Now available both in-store and online nationwide at a great price, consider grabbing the Tineco iFloor 3 Ultra on your next run to your local Costco.

Eliminate Clutter

Establishing a “microtidying” habit can save you significant time and energy in the long run. Assign a drop zone bin for each member of the family in a convenient location. Then, encourage everyone to spend just a few minutes in the evening emptying their bin and returning items to their proper location.

As for paper clutter, it’s all too easy to let countertops and tables get overrun with stacks of mailers, catalogs and documents. The United States Postal Service reports that over 77 billion pieces of unwanted paper mail are delivered annually. Stop junk mail from piling up in your home with an app like PaperKarma, which makes it easy to unsubscribe from mailing lists. Then, opt in for paperless communications and bills from your utility companies, credit card, doctor’s offices and more. As for your existing paperwork, an app like CamScanner or Google Docs can help you quickly batch scan important documents, so you can recycle or shred the physical copies. These tasks will take just a few moments now, but save you countless time sorting and filing down the line.

SUDUKO

Set it and Forget it

Setting up an air purifier, and forgetting it until it’s time to swap out the filter, is not just good for your home’s indoor air quality, it’s actually an underrated cleaning hack. Air purifiers work to remove indoor pollutants from your air, including pollen, pet dander and dust, before they settle on surfaces, yet only 1 in 4 American homes has one, according to Consumer Reports. So if dusting doesn’t make the list of your favorite pastimes, consider investing in an air purifier equipped with a HEPA filter, the gold standard in particle filtration.

If you’re like most people, you’re busy. Thankfully, tried-andtrue strategies along with time-saving tools can cut your to-do list in half and make cleaning a cinch.

Joe Myers has been in the stereo business since 1973 when he started at The Stereo House on Penn Street in Williamsport. He spent 10 years and managed stores in Kingston and Hazelton for The Stereo House

In 1983 Joe moved on to a rep firm to sell Sony Tape Marantz, Sony Accessories, Cerwin-Vega speakers and other lines to dealers in Eastern Pa. and South Jersey.

In 1993 he opened the Stereo Shoppe at 900 Washington Blvd. Now 52 years latter Joe is going to retire but The Stereo Shoppe will continue in another form The Stereo Shoppe has changed with the times in the last 32 years. In 1993 Car Audio was booming ( in more ways than one ) and we sold two speaker home stereo systems with CD players, turntables and cassette decks.

Over the years car stereo faded and the advancements in Surround Sound Audio and Flat Pannel TV’s revolutionized home entertainment. Now most business is conducted at the customer’s location, so they seldom come to the store. Now having a retail store is “so 1993”In July of 2024 Joe sold the Stereo Shoppe installations business to Direct Solutions who now have the right to The Stereo Shoppe name and phone number 570-323-9014.

The Stereo Shoppe will continue. The retail store will close when Joe retires on the 27th of June.
