NAPA — While groundwater systems require ongoing maintenance by a professional manager, property owners can also assist with maintenance by monitoring system performance. This primarily consists of paying attention to unusual developments such as a PG&amp;E bill that’s higher than usual or a noticeable dip in water pressure or quality. Since any of these can be indicative of an underlying issue, it’s a good idea to have your groundwater system manager come out and take a look. This proactive step will help you catch problems early and prevent them from becoming full-blown.
Besides contacting your groundwater system manager when unusual conditions arise, it’s a good idea to schedule an annual service and inspection. This will give your manager a chance to service the filter and other system components, as well as inspect the condition of the water tanks and check the pressure. Having these measures performed each year will go a long way toward keeping your system operating smoothly and preventing problems from occurring down the road.

Video: The Impact of Painting Preparation


when it comes to house painting thorough
preparation can result in a better final
product
today we're in Antioch with diamonds
certified expert contributor Jared
Cuevas of Bay Valley painting to learn
more the pro tip I like to talked about
today is proper prep work before you
prime and paint a house now it's going
to vary from the interior and exterior
but just for example on the exterior
when we look at the exterior of a house
we're gonna take a look at the siding
and stucco and also the wood trim and
what we're going to look at to see if
there's any paint flaking any stucco
cracks and the appealing and we always
want to make sure we take care of that
first scraping it down priming it out
then performing a spackling and caulking
that may need to be done at that time
and this is always a good idea to do
this first because it's gonna ensure
that you have a better quality finish at
the end of the job and a lot of times
the proper prep work does get overlooked
as people feel they don't need it you're
gonna cross customers and say well do we
really need to do that now I highly
recommend it because you're gonna end up
with a better looking job sometimes you
do things and then you just can't hide
it with a new coat of paint some of
these problems will come up in the
future if you don't properly take care
of them while you're in the work
