This autumn, stay dry with these seasonal surface water management tips!

A Heat Recovery Ventilation system, or HRV, is one of the best ways to remove excess indoor humidity in your home, while also improving your air quality.

Keep your HRV running smoothly by regularly cleaning te filters, Simply rinse the filters in cold water, or, if very dirty, you can give them a gentle vacuum first and soak in mild detergent and warm water.

Gently shake the filters to remove excess water, allowing them to air dry before reinstalling.

Did you know that sidewalk salt lowers the freezing point of water, which causes a repeated freeze-thaw cycle that can actually weaken your concrete? Next time you are going to tackle that icy sidewalk try some at home alternatives instead! ⛄

As we say goodbye to summer and hello to crisp fall air, don’t forget your home’s MVP: the humidifier! 🏠 Too dry? Say hello to flaky skin and shrinking floors. Too humid? You might get attic rain! 🌧️ Clean those filters and dial it down to 20-30% to keep everything just right. Your home (and skin) will love you for it!
