Stay cool, stay safe and have a very Happy Independence Day!
Happy birthday, America! Randy, Ashley and Mary gather round in anticipation of Independence Day 2024 to discuss all things home maintenance and inspection in Central Texas this summer. At the top of the list: integrated pest management! Randy explains how pests can use a bridge to get into your home, the benefits certain insects bring to your yard, the dangers of drift, and why he likes the insect most Texas newcomers (and some natives!) fear. The team sorts through Randy’s latest Amazon finds, examines pest management gone wrong, and patents the Louisiana Slip & Slide.

Landscaping with Drainage in Mind
Whether you’re adding new plants, building a patio or putting in a pool, consider how you will route water and irrigation away from your foundation to protect its longevity. See what Randy has to say about this project!
Water & Your Home’s Foundation
While we typically have to be concerned about drought and water shortages this time of year, we have been gifted a refreshingly mild and wet start to summer. It is just starting to heat up out there, but for now we have had a lot of homeowners report water pooling in their yards and near their foundations. Visit our blog for the ways damage can occur and what to do about it.
