National Home Improvement Month

Home improvement in Lincoln can mean more than remodeling. How about making those repairs, fixes, and upgrades that you’ve been procrastinating? Amongst other things, home maintenance can increase your home’s value and improve your daily life. You also could be facing major problems down the road if you don’t deal with simple leaks and other structural problems today.

One thing that you monitor is your electrical system. Many older homes simply don’t have the ability to keep up with the demands of the modern household. Upgrading your electrical panel will make life in Lincoln easier and may pay for itself in increased resale value.

Your plumbing system is another area where you should consider doing repairs. Ensure that your water pressure is in the proper range. (Check with your water department or plumber for more information.) Fixtures, pipes, and appliances can all be damaged by high water pressure. If your home has galvanized pipes, there’s a solid chance they’re corroded and seriously stalling water flow. Consider replacement with PEX or copper pipes. Completing a repiping project will decrease the likelihood of leaks and improve your water flow.
