How to Inspect Windows, Doors to Stop Air and Water Leaks

By: Lisa Kaplan Gordon

Published: January 7, 2011

Inspect windows and doors regularly to stop air leaks and water seeps that create high energy and repair bills. We’ll show you how.

Big picture inspection

A home air pressure test sucks air into the house to reveal air leaks that increase your energy bills. To inspect windows and other openings:

Seal the house by locking all doors, windows, skylights, and shutting all vents.

Close all dampers and vents.

Turn on all kitchen and bath exhaust fans.

Pass a burning incense stick along all openings--windows, doors, fireplaces, outlets--to pinpoint air rushing in from the outside.

Windows and the outside world

Air and water can seep into closed widows from gaps and rot in frames, deteriorating caulking, cracked glass, and closures that don’t fully close.

To stop air leaks, pinpoint window problems.

Give a little shake. If they rattle, frames are not secure, so heat and air conditioning can leak out and rain can seep in. Some caulk and a few nails into surrounding framing will fix this.

Look deep. If you can see the outside from around--not through--the window, you’ve got gaps. Stop air leaks by caulking and weather stripping around frames.

Inspect window panes for cracks.

Check locks. Make sure double-hung windows slide smoothly up and down. If not, run a knife around the frame and sash to loosen any dried paint. Tighten cranks on casement windows and check that top locks fully grab latches.

Door doubts

Check doors for cracks that weaken their ability to stop air leaks and water seeps.

Inspect weather stripping for peels and gaps.

Make sure hinges are tight and doors fit securely in their thresholds.

Inspect skylights

Brown stains on walls under a skylight are telltale signs that water is invading and air is escaping. Cut a small hole in the stained drywall to check for wetness, which would indicate rot, or gaps in the skylight.

To investigate skylight leaks, carefully climb on the roof and look for the following:

Open seams between flashing or shingles.

Shingle debris that allows water to collect on roofs.

Failed and/or cracked cement patches put down the last time the skylight leaked.

How to properly dispose of dead animals on your property

2011-08-03T11:46:00.000-05:00

Gross topic, but this Lifehacker article is great information for homeowners. We receive questions about this all the time from homeowners, especially during heatwaves like we're experiencing now (or when the seasons start changing).

For the full article, please go to lifehacker.com/5825678/how-to-properly-dispose-of-a-dead-animal

How to Properly Dispose of a Dead Animal

Losing a pet or coming across a dead bird or other animal in the yard isn't something we like to think about. Knowing how to properly dispose of a dead animal and taking care of it right away is important, however, for your health and the well-being of everyone else. Here are some basic guidelines.

Handling Dead Animals

If at all possible, don't touch a dead animal or at least wear gloves. For small animals like a dead bird on your porch, you can use a shovel to pick it up and place in a plastic bag. It's best to avoid wild animals found dead on the road—report these to your local or state health department or local police department.

Burying Small Animals

Small animals, like fish and hamsters, are easy to dispose of if you have a yard. You'll need to check your local regulations for the requirements for burial. State, county, or town code, like this Missouri statute, will tell you how deep you need to bury the dead animal (usually at least 3 or 4 feet) and other requirements.

When digging, watch out for utility power lines, and avoid burying an animal near any water source or area prone to flooding.

Wrap the body in a plastic bag, then put it in a box and bury in the deep hole. As the East Baton Rouge Parish Animal Control & Rescue Center advises, you may want to put some paving stones directly above the spot to discourage scavengers and/or plant a bush or tree to mark the spot.

Non-Burial Methods

Flushing small fish: Flushing fish down the toilet is an easy way to dispose of them too, but also controversial. (Don't try this with bigger fish, which may clog your toilet.) Some think flushing a pet fish is irreverent, while others are concerned about diseased fish entering the sewer system. Right now the jury's out on this practice, so for now we recommend either burying the fish or wrapping it up in a plastic bag or leak-proof container and putting it in the trash. (Also, when one of your fish has died, check the health of your other fish in your aquarium and consider changing the tank water.)

Trash disposal: For other small or even medium size animals, you can place the body in a sealed plastic bag and then in a trash bag for garbage collection. If it's going to be a while before pickup, some sources recommend placing the body in the freezer until pickup day. Again, check with your town's sanitation guidelines; in New York City, calling 311 tells you to place the animal in a trash bag marked "dead dog" or "dead cat" for removal.

Dead animal removal services: NYC even has an online form to request dead animal removal, and other cities like Mobile, AL also will remove dead animals from your curb. You'll need to call or contact the sanitation department to arrange for removal.

For more tricky dead wildlife removal, like getting rid of dead raccoons hidden in your walls, you'll need to seek out professional wildlife removal services or contact animal control services.

When it comes to your pets, however, such as cats or dogs, and either you can't (or don't want to) bury your pet and you want to see your pet go with a bit more care than being put in the dumpster, your vet is a great resource who could recommend a pet cremation service or possibly take care of the final arrangements.

This is a morbid subject, but if you have pets or live near a lot of wildlife you'll likely come across this situation.

Summer Travel Tips

2011-05-16T10:38:00.000-05:00

As you get ready to travel—even if it’s a short trip, like 4th of July weekend - don’t forget to take these few easy steps at home before you leave:

• Turn up your thermostat to 85 degrees (unless you’re leaving pets at home, of course). Experts agree that the energy saved from turning your thermostat up in the summer while you’re away is greater than the energy used to cool your house back down after you return.

• Close window blinds and shades to block out the sun’s heat. It’s amazing how much indoor heat simply comes from the heat of the sun though the windows. Most ENERGY STAR qualified windows reduce the “heat gain” into your home more than typical windows do, without reducing the visible light. You get the light you need without the uncomfortable heat.

• Avoid wasting energy on unused electronics while you’re away by unplugging them—including hand-held electronics that might be charging, such as phones, MP3 players, chargers, and even laptops.

• Aside from those one or two lights that you may want to leave on for safety, make sure everything else is turned off—all lights, ceiling fans, the alarm on your radio, and other small appliances.

• And perhaps the best thing you can do to save energy this summer is to choose hotels that have earned EPA’s ENERGY STAR label. These hotels listed use at least 35 percent less energy and emit at least 35 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than other hotels—making a stay with them a carbon-saving experience.

"Free" Money from the Missouri Housing Development Commission!

2010-01-27T10:34:00.000-06:00

Some very exciting news for Missouri homebuyers! According to the Missouri Housing Development Commission's (MHDC) website:

MHDC is allocating $15 million towards the HOPE program. Qualified Missouri families that purchase a home in 2010 are eligible for a HOPE incentive equaling the amount of the 2009 real estate tax bill associated with the property they purchased, up to a maximum of $1,250. Additionally, homebuyers who are approved for the real estate property tax HOPE incentive may also be eligible to receive an additional amount if they bought a qualified, newly-constructed, energy-efficient home or bought an existing home and remodeled or purchased items such as Energy Star® appliances to make the home more energy efficient. The maximum combined total of the HOPE property tax incentive and the HOPE energy-efficiency incentive is $1,750.

MHDC's Website

That's incredible news, especially for homebuyers taking advantage of the Federal Stimulus Tax Credits! Money really is falling from the sky!!!

Buyers in Missouri will need to act fast, because that $15 million dollar allotment will only cover approximately 8,500 homebuyers.

Interesting Housing Stats From NAR

2009-12-03T06:51:00.000-06:00

According to NAR (The National Association of Realtors), existing home sales in October 2009 were up 23.5% from October 2008. The pending home sales percentage was even higher at 31.8%.

This is great evidence that the Home Buyer Tax Credit has been working to stimulate the housing market. Now that the Credit has been extended over to repeat buyers, we fully expect to see another surge in the housing market over the coming months.

Seize the Opportunity to Take Advandage of the New Home Buyer Tax Credit!

2009-12-02T14:07:00.000-06:00

Seize the opportunity to take advantage of the Home Buyer Tax Credit Extension & Expansion which authorizes a tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time home buyers or up to $6,500 for qualified current home owners purchasing a principal residence between November 6, 2009 and April 30, 2010. To be a first-time home buyer you cannot have owned a principal residence during the three year period prior to purchase. A current home owner must have lived in the same principal residence for five consecutive years of the last eight years.

The amount of the tax credit is equal to 10% of the home's purchase price, up to a maximum of $8,000 (first-time home buyers) and $6,500 (repeat buyers). As always, please consult your tax professional for specifics.

The deadline to be under contract on a home purchase is April 30, 2010. You must close no later than June 30, 2010.

You may also find detailed information about the Tax Credit from our website.
