Save money on your bathroom renovation by following these tips
A bathroom renovation is one of the best things you can do to add substantial value to your home. However, a complete bathroom renovation can get real expensive, costing up to tens of thousands of dollars. Budget-conscious home owners would naturally want to keep costs down, but still have the bathroom that they have always wanted.
Fortunately for home owners, there are a number of ways that they can reduce the cost of bathroom renovation without compromising on the quality of materials or the workmanship. Here are some of them.
https://www.tradebusters.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Bathroom-renovations.jpg6281200Valerie, The Editorhttps://www.tradebusters.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Tradebusters-Transparent-Logo-300x79.pngValerie, The Editor2022-07-20 18:11:002022-07-22 13:08:16Bathroom Renovations - How Do I Reduce The Cost?
Pests, particularly termites, are always a nuisance. The damage that they can cause to your home may end up costing a ton of money on repairs, especially if you ignore termite control.
Even if your walls or furniture may look brand new from the outside, thousands of termites might be living inside them. As such, it’s advised that you have your property inspected by professionals for any looming threat or signs of termite infestation.
Here are the reasons why regular termite inspections are important:
1. Identify the problem
Perhaps the most important reason why you need to have
regular termite inspections is that it allows you to identify any potential or
existing problems and then take action immediately. Termite infestation poses
property and health hazards that will continue to amplify if left ignored.
As you continue to shun the problem, the cost of
resolving it will grow as well. So, if you want to save both time and money and
avoid a potential disaster, you should have your home inspected for termites
periodically.
You should never assume that you can notice termites
invading your home on your own. Termites are shy and are quite good at avoiding
detection. Some homeowners even mistake termites for ants. Professional termite
inspectors know these pests well and can identify subtle designs of
infestation. They can reliably identify whether you have a potential termite
infestation on your property or not.

2. Prevention
Even though you can’t see them, termites are surely
lurking around and start to grow in numbers in obscure parts of your property.
The purpose of regular termite inspections is to prevent infestations. This
will allow you to take the necessary steps to eliminate the problem before it
gets worse and causes major damage to your property and becomes a health hazard
for you and your family.
Keep in mind that termites grow their numbers very
quickly. Not to mention that they can eat a pound of wood every day. And since
you can’t see the damage they can cause, they’ll continue to eat away all the
wood in your home for years. This leaves you a structurally unsafe property
without you realizing it.
The only way to prevent this from happening is to stay on top of termite control. Call a professional termite inspector to help you detect early signs of infestation before it’s too late.
3. Ensure health and safety
Pest infestations in the property pose a serious
health and safety risk that many homeowners fail to notice. They may cause
detrimental effects on your family’s health. As such, you must conduct a
routine inspection to detect and eliminate potential infestations. Termite
infestations, for example, can cause structural damage to your property which
increases the risk of injuries in your household.
Moreover, workers at termite control companies are well-equipped and experienced in dealing with these kinds of pests. Termite treatments by Pest-Ex and other pest control companies can efficiently eradicate termites without putting yourself or anyone at risk from toxic chemicals used in pest control services.
4. Peace of mind
Scheduling routine termite inspections can also give
you peace of mind. Knowing that highly trained and experienced experts are
inspecting your home at least twice per year, you’ll never have to worry about
termites.
Just ensure that the people that you’re going to hire are licensed, experienced, and well-equipped to avoid inconveniences and disappointments. Reputable companies conduct inspections thoroughly which can help preserve the value of your property.
5. Save time and money
Performing termite inspection on your own can take a
lot of time. You have to do your research about signs of termite infestation.
After that, you’ll have to inspect all the nooks and crannies in your home to
ensure that you don’t miss any termite colony. Now, depending on the size of
your property, this may take several hours.
You can’t forget about the costs associated with
termite inspections as well. Termite inspections are cost-efficient as compared
to dealing with the consequences of having a well-established termite
infestation on your property.
If you want to save time and money in the long run, be
proactive in preventing pest infestations by scheduling routine inspections.
Final thoughts
As you can see, there are plenty of different reasons why you should invest in regular termite inspections. Ensure that your home is inspected by professionals at least twice a year to keep your property and most importantly, your family safe. After all, termite problems are going to be quite difficult to solve once they get worse because of how expensive they can get. Catching these pests early on is key to saving you from a lot of headaches down the road

The summer season is upon Australia, and that means each and every air conditioning system in the country will be working full-time to keep Australians cool for the entire season. Operating air conditioners regularly also means huge energy consumption, which will certainly be reflected in the electricity bill at the end of each month.
As expected, people are trying to find ways to reduce energy costs while keeping cool temperatures inside their homes. One of the more common practices believed to help reduce energy costs is closing air vents.
On the surface, closing air vents during the summer is a sound idea, as it helps divert airflow from underused rooms of the house to key areas of the house, thereby maximising use of the conditioned air. In theory, this should help you reduce energy costs. But does it? Let’s hear from James, our resident air conditioning specialist.

It is an unfortunate fact of human nature that many among us only do something about anything when it’s already too late. Let’s take the location of our water shut off valve (or water mains valve) at home for example. As a home owner, do you even know where it is?
Good for you if you do. If you don’t, then you’re one of the countless home owners all over the world who only find out the location of the water mains isolation valve when a plumbing emergency like a burst pipe takes place. It is likely that by the time you locate the water mains shut-off valve, your home will already have suffered a fair amount of water damage due to flooding.
Needless to say, it is extremely important for you to learn where turn off your home’s main water supply before anything like this ever happens. The water shut off valve is your only means of cutting off water supply to your house, especially in plumbing emergency cases. Here are some tips for finding your home’s water mains tap or shut-off valve.

They come to your door with paintbrush in one hand and a gallon of paint in another. Here’s what most people think painters in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs professionals do. They tape off the room, stand back and rub their belly, and shake their head, as if in a “this is going to cost you” type gesture. They slap the paint on, and with a handshake, take your money. In another scenario, they show up, paint an hour or so, then show up again a couple days later; repeating this routine until with a handshake, they take your money.
