National Home Improvement Month

Undertaking a home improvement project doesn’t mean that you have to remodel your entire home in Latonia. You most likely have a ton of small repairs and fixes that need to be completed. Amongst other things, home maintenance can improve your daily life and increase your home’s value. You also could be facing major problems down the road if you don’t deal with small leaks and other structural problems now.

Take a minute to see if your electrical system is up to code. Many older homes simply don’t have the ability to handle the demands of the modern household. Adding an upgrading electrical panel can make your life easier while increasing the value of your Latonia home.

Another improvement to consider for your home is the plumbing system. Make sure water pressure is in the proper range. (Check with your water department for more info.) High water pressure can lead to damage with fixtures, pipes, and appliances. If you have galvanized pipes, there’s a solid chance they are corroded and seriously impeding water flow. Try replacing them with copper or PEX piping. With repiping, you will see improvement in your water flow and a decreased chance of water leaks.
