how to stop damage moisture in your bathroom
Damp bathrooms can cause mould and
mildew to grow, which can trigger severe
allergies. Fortunately, you can control
the dampness by following a few simple
steps. First, to protect your bathroom from
accumulating condensation, make sure you
have an effective exhaust fan that is wired
independently of any light switches. Modern
units are actually able to detect moisture in the
air, and can be programmed to automatically
remove it. Another way to control dampness
is to ensure your toilet tanks don’t run after
flushing and have insulated linings to prevent
sweating. You can also install insulating wrap
on supply pipes. Follow a simple routine of
wiping down surfaces (including shower
walls) after use as this can be an effective way
to prevent saturating the air with moisture.
Finally, when renovating, be sure to use water resistant
insulation and wallboard.
Here are some simple ways to reduce the cost of phone, heat and hydro to save a bundle
Simple Ways to Reduce Your Monthly Utility Costs: Many homeowners think there’s not much they can do about telephone,
heating, water and other utility expenses. Sure, you may grumble about a
high heating bill one month, but what can you do about it?
Turns out, you can do plenty. There are several ways to reduce monthly
utility costs that can save you tens or even hundreds of dollars. For
example:
• Shop around for a better phone plan. Then contact your phone
company. They might match the rates.
• Turn down the thermostat on your water heater. You likely don’t need
tap water to be that hot.
• Clean the screen on your outside air conditioning unit regularly.
(Gently with the water hose.) Dirt and leaves can build up on it,
reducing the unit’s efficiency.
• Leverage the sun. Open curtains in the winter to gain heat. Block
direct sunlight in summer to keep the cool air inside.
• Scrutinize your bill. There may be extras you’re paying for that you
don’t need.
• Play with the thermostat. Experiment with setting the temperature a
couple of degrees lower. You might not notice any difference.
It’s worth paying attention to your utility costs. Just a few smart moves can
save you some serious money.
