HOW TO REDUCE THE EFFECT OF WATER DAMAGE

 
Here are measures to avoid expensive and intrusive damage water leaks.

WATAER DAMAGE: AN INTRODUCTION

Water damage is caused by storms, flooding, roof leaks, damaged pipes, leaking washing machines and more. If not addressed, water damage can eventually cause structural damage, which can mean significant costs to repair and can negatively affect a home’s value.

PREVENTION OF WATER DAMAGE

Prevention is the first line of defense against water damage in the home. Here are some basics on preventing water damage and its effects:

1. Water supply lines to and from washing machines and dishwashers should be regularly inspected for cracks and leaks. Both the hoses themselves and the connections should be examined. Even a small leak can cause water damage over time, so it’s best to just replace these hoses every five years or so. Steel-reinforced auto-shutoff hoses are available that sense the pressure change when a leak occurs and will stop the flow of water automatically.

 

2. Tank-style water heaters are prone to failure, especially as they age. Over time, the bottom of the tank can rust out and release the entire contents of the tank. Most plumbing codes require an overflow valve that will conduct leaking water to a pipe that drains either to the outside or to an appropriate interior drain. Homeowners should check with a plumber who is familiar with local codes for this type of overflow pipe.

3. Another common source of water leaks is the icemaker supply line; this should be regularly checked as well. For added peace of mind, homeowners should shut off the icemaker and the supply line if leaving home for more than a few days.

4. Be aware that pipes slowly leaking inside the walls or ceiling may be impossible to detect visually before damage has already occurred.

5. Check gutters and downspouts to ensure that water drains freely and flows away from the home’s foundation. Make any adjustments, and check the flow again using water from a garden hose.

6. Leak detectors can be installed at floor level near water heaters, washing machines and interior air conditioning units. Simple, inexpensive wireless models are widely available and will sound an alarm when water is detected on the floor near these appliances. These are a good option for homeowners who run these appliances only while they’re at home, which is highly recommended. “Smart” water alarms can also alert homeowners via an app that a problem has occurred.

Some home inspectors can use moisture detectors to check for damp conditions not visible. This tool helps detect possible trouble spots in walls, ceilings and floors.

These tips can help homeowners avoid the often expensive and intrusive damage water leaks can cause if not prevented or repaired.

UNDERSTANDING RIGHT OF WAY/ SETBACK IN NIGERIA

Image
Definition of setback:  A setback is a minimum distance to be observed between the building line and property boundary, water bodies, right of way of infrastructure facilities, and utilities. Right of Way and Setback knowledge are important because they help you prevent building illegal structures (structures that do not conform with urban planning rules). You must ensure that you leave the proper setback for your property. We advise you to ask your surveyor to leave the correct setback when measuring and marking out your land. It may lead to your land not being the size you paid for but you will rest assured that your property is out of the government's right of way and safe from future demolition. Did you know that fences, landscaping, septic tanks, and various potential hazards or nuisances might be regulated and prohibited by setback lines? Depending on the jurisdiction, Setbacks along state, provincial, or federal highways may also be set by the laws of the state or province...

LAND MEASUREMENT AND SIZE CONVERSION IN NIGERIA

Image
  INTRODUCTION TO LAND MEASUREMENT IN NIGERIA Do you have intentions of buying, selling, or investing in real estate in Nigeria but are confused when it comes to land sizes, land measurement, and Land comparison? Don’t worry; I am going to be explaining how you are going to get this once and for all without forgetting ever again. Yes, I mean ever again using this simple illustration or logic I got from and built on, from one of my real estate mentors. You don’t need to be a real estate expert before you understand how to accurately measure a parcel of land. Before you purchase a land or property in any estate location in Nigeria, be it in Lagos, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Abuja, etc. there are some basic terms used to denote land measurements you need to know as land measurement or sizes differs from state to state in Nigeria. You need to also know that there is no such thing as a perfect or standard plot or parcel of land because the earth (land) is not 100% positioned geometrically ...

IDENTIFYING REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Image
  Real estate investments produce some of the highest yields of any investment type in Nigeria. In certain locations, we’ve seen property values multiply several times within a few years. The profits from these lands and buildings are hardly matched in other sectors. But these returns don’t just come from any real estate investment . There are specific characteristics you’ll have to look out for to find one that truly hits the jackpot. We will review five of these important features. If you have them in mind, you’ll be better able to  spot opportunities that are worth your money. Incoming Or Rapid Development Areas on the outskirts of established or fast-developing towns and cities are usually the next big real estate locations. There are multiple examples of this all over Nigeria, especially in cities like Lagos and Abuja. In Lagos, the Ibeju Lekki area was next in line after the property development frenzy around the Lekki axis. And in Abuja, some of the satellite districts ...
