On this episode of Real Estate: Uncovered, Philippe Heller interviews Chaz Castelo with UrbnTek. UrbnTek defends homes and businesses from wildfires. They deploy customized fire blankets over homes/structures before wildfires arrive in your neighborhood. The fire blanket system protects structures from flying embers, smoke, and fire. They also pretreat vegetation with Phos-Chek fire retardant to increase defensible space around your property. The fire retardant is the same product you’ve seen dropping from planes during virtually every US wildfire, but without the red dye. The fire retardant is colorless, odorless, and completely safe to apply on vegetation. One application can help protect your home and property for months. You can contact Chaz and his team at UrbnTek.com or call (619) 823-5192.

Marly Davis joins Philippe Heller on this episode of Real Estate: Uncovered. She is the Business Development Manager for Jensen Properties San Diego. Marly shares her valuable insight into the issues that tenants and landlords are facing with increasing regulations, eviction moratoriums and rental assistance from the state. The rental market has become almost as complex as the Real Estate Market due to the high competition as inventory continues to drop and demand continues to rise. People are willing to pay higher rental fees as they are facing buyer fatigue. She also discusses the eviction ban in San Diego County and the good news regarding the deadline for rent that has been due since March of 2020. Marly Davis and the Jensen Properties San Diego team can be reached at JensenPropertiesSD.com or (858) 449-7294. Please seek legal counsel for restrictions, evictions and guidelines.

Philippe Heller speaks with Cody Kifer, who is our Sewer Scope Supervisor on this episode of Real Estate: Uncovered. The cost and inconvenience of sewer line repairs can escalate if driveways, landscaping, or even sidewalks have to be torn out and replaced. Problems exist in new and old homes alike. Every buyer should consider a sewer scope to be an integral part of their due diligence. Without question, main drain-line inspections should be performed on every house. Root intrusion or damaged drain lines will most likely not be discovered during the course of a standard home inspection. Only clear water can be run during an inspection, which is not a substitute for actual use by a family (toilet paper, waste, soap, suds, and so on). Under normal use, obstructions in the drain line can cause a backup of sewage into the home.
