6 Unexpected Home Materials That Need Repairs

Your home is not without its flaws, even if it’s new. It’s no surprise that you’ll have to retouch the wall paint now and then, or even give your bathroom tile some re-caulking now and then. However, there are some unexpected things in your home that need to be repaired, replaced, and/or inspected from time to time. Worse, most people don’t think about things like garage door cable repair in Grand Rapids, which means that necessary home components often go unsupervised until they fail. 

These are 6 things in your home that you didn’t know you need to work on from time to time.

1.Sprinkler Heads - Your lawn’s irrigation system is almost solely responsible for how good your lawn looks, including grass, shrubs, and trees. Sprinkler heads can come loose or be clogged, which is a quick fix.

2.Baseboards - Baseboards are the places where pests love to travel through your home, hugging out of site along the walls until they get to your food source. This means that baseboards can develop some unsightly flaws that will need repairs. After all, pests leave a trail.

3.Cabinet Drawers - Do you have a drawer that feels sticky or even seems to fight back when you try to close it? You may need to repair the wheels or fixtures on which it sits.

4.Windowsills - Windowsills often go ignored, especially if you plant furniture in front of them. Condensation and other signs of indoor moisture can collect along your windowsills, or spill down from the glass pane. All this moisture can cause unsightly rot.

5.Garage Doors - Bad weather, attempts and crime, and even the occasional vehicle accident can impact your door. Something you might assume was a light tap could have caused a crack in the door, which disturbs the tight seal on the door, an important insulator for your garage.

6.Garage Cable - Garage door cable is largely responsible for how the entire system operates. This cable can become frayed or even torn, which can cause a seriously deadly accident. If your garage door cable is damaged, prioritize this repair job before someone gets hurt.

While all of these unexpected home components can develop flaws that are easy to ignore, ignoring garage cable problems is especially risky. Hire garage door cable repair in Grand Rapids at the first sign of damage or if your garage door is making unusual noises. Once this is taken care of, you can start working on the other 5 components.
