Manage episode 424501383 series 2122153
SHOW NOTES:
Listen in as we discuss the allure of natural stone countertops vs. the upkeep they demand, five critical home filters that play a vital role in home health and efficiency, and how a timely roof inspection can prevent leaks and costly repairs. Plus, we have expert tips to help callers with more home improvement questions on this Money Pit episode!
Stone Countertops: Get the stone-cold facts on the pros and cons of natural stone countertops.
Filters: These are the top 5 most important filters you should be checking for home health and efficiency.
Roof Maintenance: These roof inspection tips will help protect against damaging roof leaks.
Q & A:
Water Pressure: Just one faucet in Tommy’s house has very low water pressure. It could be a blockage in the faucet aerator or the screen from the water line, or a faulty valve.
Tile Floor: The tiles over Barbara’s heated floor are shifting and grout is coming out. She can either repair them as needed or remove and replace the tiles and heating coils.
Gutters: It’s hard to reach old built-in gutters that are backing up. We explain how Paul can build out a pitched roof section over the gutters and install new, larger gutters.
Driveway Repair: Are there options for restoring an old asphalt driveway? After 38 years, we agree it’s time for Susan to rip it up and have a new driveway poured.
Shower Valve: Craig gets advice about rebuilding his shower valves and fixtures rather than going through the shared wall that separates them from another bathroom.
Leaking Pipe: Sherilynn’s pool has a leak in the pipe going to the pump. It would be easier to replace an underground line rather than digging down to expose and repair it.
Feral Cats: Feral cats in the backyard have become a real problem. Jeff may want to reach out for help from organizations that humanely trap, neuter, or rescue animals.
Vinyl Flooring: Can Angela paint the old vinyl kitchen flooring that is yellowed and nicked? It’s not a good idea, but there are affordable flooring options she can consider.
