Rain, rain, go away?
Last week was rough. The graceful mama oak tree that had given our home shade, privacy, and habitat dropped a giant limb directly on top of my car - taking down both our electrical to our home (and our poor neighbor's) and totaled the car in one dramatic fell swoop.
We promptly had called an PG&E (safety first!) and an arborist, and in 24 hours the tree was removed entirely (poor thing was completely rotted out) and we were left with a gaping hole in our yard (and our hearts).
It was all a very good reminder that we live among the elements and preparation is so very important for homeowners. With the anticipated historic El Nino about to grace our golden state, it's a good time to be proactive.
Here are some resources to help your home stay safe and dry this winter.
Drainage
Proper drainage is essential for any homeowner. It prevents water from pooling around your home, which can cause structural issues, mold growth, water damage, and flooding. It also prevents soil erosion and saves you money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs and replacements. By investing in proper drainage, you can protect your home, landscaping, and investment.
