Prevention Tips:
Thank you. Darren Gafiuk Trinuck Properties Inc. www.trinuckproperties.com 780-499-2739 TRUST TRINUCK During a heavy rainstorm (without lightning), grab an umbrella and go outside. Walk around your house and look around at the roof and property. A rainstorm is the perfect time to see how the roof, downspouts and grading are performing. Observe the drainage patterns of your property, as well as the property of your neighbor. The ground around your house should slope away from all sides. Downspouts, surface gutters and drains should be directing water away from the foundation. Most problems with moisture in basements and crawlspaces are caused by poor site drainage and improper grading around your entire house.
PLANTERS check any planting beds adjacent to the foundation. They are built in a way that traps water. The structure around the planting beds acts like a dam and traps water. Flower planters should NEVER be installed against a houses exterior wall. Thank you.

Ozone is sometimes called "activated oxygen" containing three atoms of oxygen rather than the two atoms we normally breathe. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in the world and can be used to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors.
Thank you. Darren Gafiuk Trinuck Properties Inc. www.trinuckproperties.com 780-499-2739 TRUST TRINUCK This is a checklist you can use and incorporate into your regular maintenance schedule for your home.
Check for damage to your roof, eaves and downspouts, check all fascia and trim for damage. Have an HVAC professional inspect and maintain your system as recommended by the manufacturer. Check your water heater for leaks and rust also drain a bucket full of water out of your hot water tank. Check all your fire extinguishers and also your smoke detectors replace if they are 7 years old. Clean the kitchen exhaust hood and filter. Consider repairing all cracked, broken and uneven driveways and sidewalks to provide a safe walking surface. Check the shutoff valves at all plumbing fixtures to make sure they are functioning.
