[Read more…]Homes come with a lot of maintenance and upkeep, and every homeowner expects to spend some money each year on repairs and regular maintenance costs. However, it can be hard to stay on top of all of them, especially when bad luck strikes and it seems like everything is in need of repair at once. Everyone is guilty of putting off calling a repairman or technician, hoping the problem will go away or fix itself and that you won’t need to spend the money. Unfortunately, some issues don’t work that way and need immediate attention before getting more problematic and more expensive.
Here are some common home repairs you shouldn’t wait to fix or get looked at.

Water could be leaking and pooling behind the walls, which can cause serious damage like rotting the wood, causing mold and mildew growth, and make metals rust. It’s in your best interest to get those leaks patched up as soon as you notice water leaking or get someone in to check if the room begins to smell musty, paint is peeling, or the walls, floor, or ceiling are getting fuzzy with mold or mildew.
