National Home Improvement Month

A home improvement project doesn’t mean you have to overhaul your entire house in Bowling Green. Just think about all the little repairs and fixes that you have been putting off. There are many advantages to home maintenance, such as adding convenience to your daily life and increasing your home’s value. You also could be facing major problems in the future if you don’t deal with small leaks and other structural problems quickly.

Make sure your electrical system is up to date. Today’s households are consuming a ton of power and older homes can’t keep up. Upgrading your electrical panel will make life in Bowling Green easier (tired of tripped circuits, anyone?) and may pay for itself in increased resale value.

Another improvement to work on is the plumbing system. Check with your water department or a trusted plumber to make sure your water pressure is the the right range. Appliances, pipes, and fixtures can all be damaged by excessively high water pressure. If you have galvanized pipes, there is a solid chance they are corroded and seriously stalling water flow. These need to be replaced with PEX or copper pipes. With repiping, you’ll see improvement in your water flow and a decreased chance of leaks.
