Rain Rain please stay …
For the past two
days I have had to look at the calendar many times to make sure we are still in
July. Rain is welcome in this area no matter what the season, but recent we
have been getting some VERY encouraging news.
Many publications
came out with preditions that the El Nino brewing in the pacific right now is
stronger than the 1997-1998 event.
If it is as
strong as predicted, this one year could do a lot to fill the reservoirs and
the start to see the end of the record drought.

Home Tip of the week
Following are a
few tips that will give every homeowner a little piece of mind before the first
rains arrive.
1. Have your gutters checked to insure that
they are free of leaves, dirt, tennis balls or other items that may clog the
downspouts and gutters.
2. Have all of the roof penetrations’ (plumber
pipes, heater vents, fireplaces and skylights) checked for any cracks and to
make sure that they are properly sealed
3. If you have any valleys on your roof look to
make sure that they are free of debris and if not have the debris removed
4. Check to make sure that there are no tree
branches sitting or rubbing on your roof, if so cut them back so they are not
touching the roof
These are just a
few preventive maintenance items that if done a couple of times a year (usually
in the fall and again in late winter) will help to protect your home from
unwanted water intrusion during the rainy season. Please feel free to call our company at any
