Questions and Answers

What causes fence posts to rot so quickly in Grand Rapids, and how do you fix it?

Rot is usually from ground moisture trapped against untreated wood during wet springs and freeze-thaw cycles. We inspect the base, remove rotted sections, and set new pressure-treated posts or concrete anchors. If the damage is minor, we'll patch and seal the wood so the fence lasts longer.

I hear dripping near my main water line but can't find the leak. Can a plumbing inspection help?

Yes. A hidden leak often shows up as a damp spot, higher water bills, or a musty smell. Our plumbing inspection uses a camera scope to trace pipes inside walls or under slab foundations. We locate the exact spot and recommend a repair before water damages your flooring or basement.

My porch railing is loose and the wood is splitting. Can a carpenter rebuild it without replacing the whole porch?

In many cases we can. If the framing is sound, we remove the damaged sections, sister new lumber alongside, and fasten everything with corrosion-resistant screws. We'll match the existing style so the fix blends in, keeping your porch safe and your property looking cohesive.
