5 <strong>TIPS</strong> <strong>FOR</strong><br />

<strong>TAKING</strong> <strong>CARE</strong><br />

<strong>OF</strong> <strong>YOUR</strong><br />

<strong>HOME</strong>

If you use your basement frequently<br />

then it is best to get it checked for<br />

the presence of any radioactive gas.<br />

Your basement is the one area in<br />

your home which has the maximum<br />

probability of having radon. Radon is<br />

behind 21,000 lung cancer deaths<br />

(approx.) per year as per EPA reports.<br />

Buy some affordable radon testing<br />

kits which are available in the market<br />

to check for radon and make your<br />

home a safe place for living.

There is always a risk of damaging<br />

the roof tiles while raking your roof<br />

to clean up the snow. In order to<br />

cut down on the ice build up, you<br />

have to be extremely careful and it<br />

is better to leave a thin layer of ice<br />

on the roof rather than trying to<br />

clean up everything. Ice dams can<br />

cause insulation problems but you<br />

should find out the root cause than<br />

scraping your roof all the time.

If you are planning to move into a<br />

new house or sell your house, it is<br />

best to check the chimney for any<br />

major repair. Check if your<br />

chimney has a clay liner, as in<br />

most cases it will turn out to be<br />

cracked. Having a cracked<br />

chimney isn't a good idea while<br />

selling and hence make sure to<br />

repair it.

An energy audit for your home is<br />

not a bad idea as it will let you<br />

know about the problem areas of<br />

your home. You may have to look<br />

after the insulation of the home if<br />

the report actually shows any<br />

negative sign. It is always better to<br />

know any underlying problems<br />

even if you are moving into a new<br />

house.

Your windows can be made of<br />

one or more glass pane but it<br />

can't hold heat if it is not sealed<br />

properly. So check your window<br />

casing and call the professionals<br />

to make any adjustments if<br />

required. You can also try caulking<br />

which is an effective DIY method.
