New Homeowners Day was May 1, and coming up next in June is National Homeownership Month and National Healthy Homes Month. Whether you are just purchasing your first house or have been a homeowner for many years, it’s never too late to address the health and safety of your living environment.

- Do you have interior drywall cracks or sticking windows and doors?
- Are open vents allowing outside air, water and pests into your crawl space?
- Is the crawl space sealed from the earth?
- Is the area properly insulated?
Other Areas
- Is the exterior drainage system keeping water away from your home?
