Poolside Protection: 6 Crucial Steps to Prevent Child Drownings | Stinky Water Solutions | Roof Review Tips to Detect Potential Leaks | Ep #2324
SHOW NOTES:
Pool Safety for Kids: Pool safety always begins with supervision, plus these crucial measures help prevent child drownings.
Water Odors: Why does your water smell like rotten eggs? We’ve got solutions for stinky water.
Preventing Roof Leaks: Detecting roof leaks before they happen heads off bigger problems. Here’s what to look for.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Painting Kitchen Countertops: Sheila is considering painting her kitchen countertops. We agree it’s an affordable, attractive, and durable option.
Water Heater Replacement: Steve’s electric water heater leaks. He can replace it with a standard unit or a heat pump water heater that is more efficient.
Squirrels: Sneaky squirrels are chewing holes in the bird feeder. Priscilla needs to make the bird feeder unappealing or unreachable to keep squirrels away.
Dryer Vent: A disconnected dryer vent is a fire hazard and creates moisture that makes attic insulation less efficient. Cody must fix and redirect the dryer vent ASAP.
Concrete Stains: June has metal bench stains on the porch and car stains in the garage. We give her tips on using TSP to lighten the concrete stains.
Wood Deck Boards: Should deck boards be replaced or refinished? Rob can turn some of them over, replace the worst ones, and use a good solid stain.
Bathtub Repair: Best remedy for a chipping fiberglass bathtub? Jan can use a fiberglass tub and tile repair kit.
Shifting Floor Tiles: Tiles are shifting and grout is coming out in Barbara’s heated bathroom floor. She can either repair them as needed with floor adhesive or replace the entire floor and heating coils.
Efflorescence: Efflorescence caused by mineral salt deposits is making Ted’s cinderblock basement walls crumble and flake. He should improve the drainage outside the house first and then use vinegar to clean the walls before repainting.
Cleaning a Popcorn Ceiling: How can you refresh a popcorn ceiling? Nancy needs a dry feather duster to remove any cobwebs and a special roller to repaint the ceiling.
Septic System: A sinkhole is developing near Brian’s septic system. A septic system inspector can tell him if it’s a potential failure of the septic field.
