Total Home Care | Homeowner Tip of the Day

Grab a pair of binoculars and look at your roof from the yard. Shingles should lie flat and even. One major shingle manufacturer lists loose, curled, cracked, or buckled shingles as signs that water may be able to get underneath and reach the underlayment. Edges that turn up or under are commonly linked to an older, worn roof, and curled shingles become brittle, which is one more reason to stay off the roof, especially as it gets colder. If a slope looks wavy or the edges are lifting, Total Home Care can check whether it's isolated damage or a sign of an aging roof. Reach us at 859-261-5554.

Total Home Care | Homeowner Tip of the Day

Next time a steady rain comes through, grab an umbrella and take a slow walk around the house. The National Park Service notes that gutters and downspouts can be safely observed from the ground during rainy weather. With built-in box gutters, watch for water spilling over the face of the cornice instead of flowing out the downspouts, drips coming from the soffit, or a downspout that stays dry while the roof is clearly shedding water. Any of these can be a sign of a blocked outlet or a leaking liner and is worth having checked. Jot down where you saw it, then give Total Home Care a call at 859-261-5554.

Total Home Care | Homeowner Tip of the Day

Grout lines look solid, but they are not a waterproof barrier. One tile waterproofing manufacturer notes that tile and grout are not inherently waterproof, and water can seep through grout lines into the structure behind them. That is why a well built shower relies on a waterproofing membrane installed behind the tile, with the tile and grout serving as the finished surface. If you are planning a new shower, ask what waterproofing system goes behind the tile and how it ties into the drain. Total Home Care builds walk-in showers and custom tile with waterproofing systems in mind.

Total Home Care | Homeowner Tip of the Day

Planning to finish the basement this winter? Start by asking one question: is it actually dry? Building Science Corporation explains that basement walls need to be able to dry, and that finished assemblies that trap moisture have been linked to odor, mold, and decay problems. Look for damp spots, efflorescence (white powdery residue) on block, musty smells, or stains along the floor edge, especially after a rain. If you see any of these, have the cause diagnosed and corrected first. Total Home Care evaluates moisture before basement construction begins, so the finished space starts on solid footing. Questions about your basement plans? Call 859-261-5554.

Total Home Care | Homeowner Tip of the Day

Soffit vents along the eaves are where most attics are designed to pull in fresh air. If insulation is packed tight against the roof deck at the eaves, that intake can be choked off even when the vents look fine from outside. One major shingle manufacturer lists insulation installed over intake vents as a common ventilation mistake, and ENERGY STAR explains that rafter vents, also called baffles, keep the soffit vents clear so air can flow toward the ridge.

If your attic is safely accessible, shine a flashlight toward the eaves and look for baffles between the rafters.

Total Home Care works on soffit vents, ridge vents, and ventilation upgrades. Questions? Call 859-261-5554.

Total Home Care | Homeowner Tip of the Day

When your gutters get cleaned out this fall, take a look at what's left in the bottom. Asphalt shingles are topped with mineral granules, and some shedding is normal. On a newer roof, one major shingle manufacturer notes granule loss is usually heaviest right after installation and tapers off over several months. On an older roof, heavy piles of granules, or patches that look darker or bare from the ground, can be a sign the shingles are wearing out. If you're seeing more grit than usual, Total Home Care can tell you whether it's normal wear or a roof that's aging out. Call us at 859-261-5554.

Total Home Care | Homeowner Tip of the Day

Planning a kitchen remodel this winter? Look closely at where the range hood actually sends the air. The U.S. Department of Energy's Building America Solution Center says kitchen exhaust fans should vent outdoors, not into an attic or the space between floors, and notes that recirculating hoods only filter the air and return it to the kitchen. It also recommends smooth, rigid metal duct with as few bends as possible. EPA adds a simple habit: run the hood whenever you cook and for 10 to 20 minutes after. Total Home Care plans hood placement and appliance integration as part of kitchen remodels. Questions about your layout? Call 859-261-5554.

Total Home Care | Homeowner Tip of the Day

Look at the roof edge of an older home and you may not see a gutter at all. That can mean the house has built-in box gutters. Instead of hanging off the fascia, a box gutter is a lined trough built into the cornice itself, so it is often hard to spot from the ground. Roofing magazine describes these systems as built into the cornice structure, also known as Yankee or Philadelphia gutters. Knowing which kind you have matters, because liners, repairs, and upkeep are very different. Not sure what's on your house? Total Home Care works on built-in box gutters across Northern Kentucky. Call 859-261-5554.
