How To Cope With A Home Disaster

Sometimes things go wrong at home. The washing machine may throw a tantrum, or the radiator might leak. Maybe the freezer stopped working and all your food turned into a soggy mess. These things always seem to happen when we are really busy too. It means we’re stuck in the middle of a disaster trying to juggle a lot of things. And we simply don’t know what to do. But what if things got even worse? The weather, burglaries and vandalism can all cause disasters that render your home unusable. How can you cope with a home disaster on that scale?

Emergency Procedures

Having a plan of action should disaster strike will make you better equipped to deal with it. Most families have a fire escape plan. They may even practice it from time to time. But do you have a plan for dealing with a flood or an act of vandalism? A go-bag, like your baby’s change bag, could make an enormous difference to your family in the aftermath of a home disaster. A change of clothes for everyone and some emergency cash means you can find accommodation, food, and freshen up if your home can’t be lived in.

Aftermath

If you’ve come home to find the property underwater, chances are you won’t be able to live there for a while. The trouble with flooding isn’t the water. It’s the sewerage and other contaminants that pollute your home long after it has dried out. Find a company like http://restorationeze.com that deals with the type of disaster you’re confronted with. The quicker the professionals can get there, the quicker you can have your home back.

An Essential Checklist For Renovating And Decorating Your New Home

Have you recently bought a house or moved home? If you’re planning a major overhaul or you’re keen to inject your own style and personality, here is an essential checklist to help you out. Follow these golden rules, and you’ll be enjoying your beautiful new home before you know it.

Renovation work

Are you taking on a project? Would you like to alter the layout of your new home? If so, it’s likely that you’ll need the help of builders and architects. After you’ve had structural surveys done, you should be able to determine what kind of building work you need to complete. If there are existing issues, such as damage to the walls or supporting structures, missing roof tiles or damp, make these your priority. With problems like this, the longer you leave them, the worse they get. Call in the experts and ask for some quotes. It’s also wise to ask for a rough timeframe so that you know when you can start thinking about the next steps.

Once the structure of your home is sound and you’ve addressed priority issues, think about any other changes you’d like to make. Would you prefer a large, open-plan kitchen? Do you want to knock through upstairs to make a family bathroom? Is there is a loft space calling out for conversion? If you are planning to do work, you may wish to complete it before you move in, if this is possible. If you’re not sure whether or not to take the plunge, ask your architect to show you some images and flick through some magazines. Get some ideas of what space could look like and get some quotes. Loft conversions are one of the best ways to add value to your home. If you have vacant space, an attic conversion could be an excellent long-term investment. Likewise, with a large kitchen, you may find that spending money at the beginning pays off. For most people, the kitchen is the first room they look at during a house viewing.
