07/10/2017 Dealing with a rusty garage door? You’re not alone. Garage doors are frequently exposed to outside elements that can cause rust build-up over time. This is especially true of cheaper metal doors or for those who live closer to the ocean. Minor rust can be buffered out with sandpaper or removed with a solvent. If it’s a large amount of rust, you’ll probably need to repaint the whole panel after removing the rust. For rust on garage door parts, use a solvent made for rust and gently scrub. Afterwards, apply a light amount of white lithium grease or silicone spray to prevent further corrosion. For panels with heavy rust damage, you may need to purchase a new garage door. Some parts like garage door springs or hinges may require replacing as well if the rust damage is significant.   Link to the article: https://www.sacsgarage.com/remove-rust-garage-door/ Related articles: https://metalrescue.wordpress.com/category/rust-gone-wild/two-guys-garage-rust-gone-wild/ For...

by PuroClean Editorial Team Mold thrives in humid environments that have little ventilation and sunlight. If these conditions are met, it doesn’t take long for mold to grow on organic material like cardboard or drywall. Garages are typically havens for mold, unless homeowners take proper steps to reduce moisture. Here’s how you can keep mold from infesting your garage. Check your garage for leaks. Inspect the areas in your garage, such as the roof, floor, gutters, and pipes, to ensure that they are in good condition. Fix any cracks and damage you find immediately. Seal and insulate your garage door. To weather-proof your garage, it’s important to properly seal and insulate your garage door. Replace torn, ragged or crumbling weather stripping immediately. In addition, check the bottom seal for elasticity, shrinkage, and wear. As for insulation, a pre-insulated garage door panel has a much higher R-value (the measure of how well an object resists conductive flow of heat). Decreas...

December 29, 2018 Some homeowners fix the problem of an odd-smelling house by lighting a scented candle. But be warned: Doing so could put the house’s inhabitants at risk of inhaling dust and fungal spores. That’s what researchers from San Diego State University found over the course of their study, which took an investigative look at the factors that contribute to indoor pollution. “Our primary goal was to figure out what’s happening in houses that leads to higher air particle levels and, in turn, to unhealthy environments for kids,” stated study co-author John Bellettiere. For their study, the researchers installed a pair of air particle monitors in the homes of 300 families living in San Diego. Each family had at least one smoker and at least one child aged 14 or younger. The air particle monitors were then placed in the area of the house closest to where smoking occurred and the child’s bedroom. For three months, the monitors scanned for particles between 0.5 to 2.5 micrometers ...

Melonee Hurt, Special to Nashville Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK – TENNESSEE Published 2:17 p.m. CT July 26, 2018 Not only are home maintenance projects important to stay on top of as a homeowner to keep things in working condition, but there are certain things you can do around your home that can not only save but improve your property’s value. Realtor Lisa Culp Taylor, who works in Nashville, Brentwood and Franklin, said she has listed properties that went under contract quickly, but fell through during inspections due to lack of proper maintenance. Those are things a new coat of paint can’t cover. “Home maintenance is critical,” Taylor said. “This should be a priority for home owners and it needs to be done regularly. Most homeowners, for example, will service their HVAC twice a year, but I recommend a regular maintenance package for this. When you schedule your spring check-up, I would use this as a reminder to check your home for wood rot, chipping paint and the con...
