Musty odors
If any of these problems happen on your property, contact our team of professionals to help you install a new drainage system.
Finding the right system for your home can help get rid of lawn low spots, inadequate rate of infiltration, excessive runoff, and oversaturated soil.
Erosion Control
When your property is not properly managed, erosion can be a big issue. It can threaten the structural foundation of your home.
Erosion is caused by wind, rain and ice. It can cause the earth to move and shift.
Our erosion control specialists are here to help ensure your property stays safe.
Planting trees, shrubs and grass is one way to prevent erosion, as well as drainage solutions. Since water is the primary cause of erosion, it is important to control it with the amount of rain and snow Kentucky gets.
Clean Your Gutters
With the falling leaves, rain and snow, keeping your roof gutters can be important. Small and large debris can stop the flow of water when draining from the gutters.
Firewood
Get the fire ready and grab some hot cocoa. Be sure you are stocked up on firewood for the winter, so you can have the heat and ambiance in your living room.
While you are checking your stock of firewood, also check to ensure your smoke alarms are working and have batteries. This can save you and your family’s lives in case of an emergency.
Outdoor Furniture
Store away or cover up any outdoor furniture that may be damaged by falling leaves, rain or snow.
When covering it, be sure to cover it or store it on a warm dry day, this way you avoid any moisture and possible mold growth on any furniture.
Snow Removal
Be sure you have the equipment and drainage solution for both snow removal and snow melt.
Get the snowplow or blower out of storage and test it out before any big snow storms. This will ensure you do not get stuck in the inches of snow that will come through Benton this winter.
Get Festive
Last but not least, get festive. Deck the house with Christmas lights and decorate the tree for all those to see through the window.
Every holiday has a different tradition, whether you decorate for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa.
Maybe add some holiday scents, from candles or baking. Pumpkin spice, Christmas cookies and more.
