    • Moles: The moles under the patio are drawn to the grubs they love to eat. Michelle learns how to get rid of the grubs so she can get rid of the moles.
    • Deck Refinishing: A restoration product on Joe’s wood deck is peeling off instead. Installing composite replacement boards is a great option.
    • Clogged Drain: Where is the clog that’s making Mary’s bathtub drain so slowly? She needs to get a plumber that specializes in drain cleaning.
    • Hard Water: It’s a challenge to clean out all the calcium deposits left by hard water at Jim’s house. He may need to install a water filtration system.
    • Metal Roofing: Installers improperly nailed a new metal roof into the valleys instead of the ridges, causing leaks. Mercedes can either replace the flashing around the valleys or caulk the holes for a temporary fix. 
    • Pest Control: Nils is finding all kinds of pests in and around his historic home. He needs a pest control professional for the right solutions for multiple issues.
    • Painting Wood Posts: Beverly wants to paint her cedar porch posts white to match the house trim. Oil-based primer and a solid color stain will work fine.
    • Garage Floor: Gordon has a wet garage floor. He can reduce the moisture by improving the drainage around the foundation and using an epoxy paint sealant.
    • Sticking Doors: Is sanding the only option for a sticking door? Taylor gets tips on figuring out where it’s uneven and adjusting screws and hinges to fix it.
