Paul Davis Daily

Tulsa, OK – March 11, 2010 – When spring arrives, it’s time to prepare for

the storms that come with it. The season can bring on water damage to your

home or office from the winter’s melting snow and ice along with the threat

of severe weather. Tornadoes, thunderstorms, windstorms and flooding can

damage or destroy homes and offices along with entire neighborhoods within

minutes. According to Tom Culver, Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling

office owner in Tulsa, a variety of safety measures can help to protect

yourself and your family when storms strike. Paul Davis Restoration is a

leading provider of fire and water damage clean up and restoration services

for residential and commercial properties.

“Most people aren’t thinking about frozen pipes in the spring.  But with the

extremely cold temperatures we’ve had this winter, there may be more frozen

pipes when people start using exterior faucets,” said Culver. “A lot of

people think that frozen pipes will only be evident in the winter months,

however, when homeowners start using exterior faucets to water lawns or fill

pools, they may be surprised to find water backing up into their homes,” he

said.

According to Culver, the pipes leading to the exterior of the house may have

had water sitting in them during the winter that froze and caused the pipe

to expand and break.  However, because there is a shut off between the

outside and inside plumbing, water isn’t constantly running through those

pipes that lead to the outside faucets until the water is turned on outside.

“If you do have a busted pipe, it should be evident within a few minutes of

turning on the outside faucet.  Flooding can be prevented by checking the

interior of the house where the plumbing runs to the exterior faucet every

couple of minutes the first time you run the water outside,” said Culver.

“The best area to check is the carpet or tile around the base trim of the

interior walls.  If there is any water seepage into the house, turn the

water off right away,” he said. 

According to Culver, in addition to recognizing cracked pipes and water

damage during the early spring months, individuals should be sure to learn

the warning signs of upcoming storms that are frequent during this time of

year. “Nobody likes to cancel an outdoor activity, but when weather looks

threatening, remember to put storm safety first. Before heading out, turn on

your radio or TV to see if a storm watch or warning is issued for your area.

Also, have a family and business disaster plan in place,” he said.

Culver recommends the following tips to be prepared before severe weather

strikes. A major storm can knock out utility service to your area, leaving

you without electricity, heat, water or fresh food. It’s a good idea to put

together an emergency kit you can grab at a moment’s notice. Store your kit

in a waterproof container.

An emergency kit should include:

.     Flashlight

.     Battery-operated radio with a weather band

.     First aid kit with essential medicines and a manual

.     Candles and matches

.     A large jug of drinking water

.     Non-perishable, ready-to-eat food

.     Towels, toilet paper and bathroom items

.     Credit cards

.     A copy of insurance documents

.     Blankets and sleeping gear

.     List of phone numbers and addresses of emergency services and

      shelters, physicians, family and friends

.     Keep tools handy that you may need including work gloves, duct tape,

      hammer and nails, screwdrivers, wrench, small hatchet.

Make sure everyone in your family knows where the kit is kept. Review your

emergency plan with your family and post the written plan.

Culver also recommends to ready your home for a storm. Here are some

valuable tips for preventing problems from high winds. If necessary, hire a

professional if you are not equipped to do the work yourself.

.     Appliances. Purchase sturdy “L-brackets” from the hardware store.

      Use them to anchor your major appliances to the walls or    countertops

      of your home. Watch out for electrical hazards.

.     Cupboards. Put child safety locks on your upper and lower cupboards

      to prevent spillage.

.     Pictures. Use “V-hooks” to mount pictures and wall hangings instead

      of nails. These hooks enable pictures to shift without falling from the wall.

.     Roof. Prevent leakage from water driven by high winds. If you have a metal roof, recoat it if needed. If you 

      have a shingle roof, make sure the shingles are not flapping in the wind.  They can be secured with black

      plastic roof cement commonly found in home improvement stores or lumber yards.

.     Debris and leaves. Keep your roof free of debris and leaves that can

      rot and deteriorate both shingle and metal roofs.

.     Exterior. Repair exterior siding, awnings, gutters, downspouts and

      brackets if loose, damaged or dangling. Make sure skirting is properly

      vented.

.     Water heater and furnace. Securely attach these to your home.

.     Utilities. Learn how to quickly disconnect breakers in the service

      box for your water, gas and electric.

.     Hazardous objects. Keep your yard free of poles, shovels, bikes and

      other loose articles. These can become hazardous flying objects

      during severe windstorms.

.     Windbreak. Establish a windbreak. Tall trees provide a natural

      windbreak. Remove dead trees.

.     Windows. Consider replacing older windows with modern,

      impact-resistant glass.

According to Culver, use caution after a storm. The aftermath of a severe

storm also poses dangers. Make sure the people around you are safe. Also,

check for injuries and call for help.

When outside, take these precautions:

.     Watch for broken glass, gas leaks and downed power lines.

.     Stay out of damaged buildings.

.     Clean up spilled medicines, bleaches, gasoline or other flammable

      liquids immediately. Leave if you smell gas or chemical fumes.

.     Check for gas leaks: If you smell gas or hear a hissing noise, open

      a window and quickly exit your home.

.     Look for electrical system damage: If you see sparks or broken or

      frayed wires, or if you smell hot insulation, turn off the electricity

      at the main fuse box or circuit breaker.

.     Check for sewage and water lines damage: If you suspect sewage lines

      are damaged, avoid using toilets and call a plumber. If water pipes are damaged, contact the

      water company and avoid using water from the tap.

If you can’t perform emergency repairs safely, seek help from your insurance

company or a professional repair service.

“Prevention is the key and is well worth it to avoid injury to loved ones

and damage to your property,” said Culver. “Damage to a structure can

typically go undiscovered for long periods of time and repairs usually run

into the thousands of dollars as a result,” he said. “If you’re properly

prepared, you can react from practice, not panic. You can also greatly

increase your chances for weathering the storm safely. Remember to contact a

professional to help with storm preparedness.”

Paul Davis Restoration office owners nationwide are available to assist with

restoration and emergency mitigation and preparedness services. Look for

properly licensed individuals and companies with certifications from leading

industry organizations like The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and

Restoration Certification (IICRC). For more information, visit the website

Brentwood, NY – March 10, 2010 – Mark Gunthner, Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling of Long Island owner and general contractor for United Way of Long Island’s first YouthBuild Long Island home project in Brentwood, has announced that Steve Courville, one of the nation’s leading authorities on energy efficiency in homes, has announced a milestone in energy efficiency for the house located at 20 St. Andrews Drive in Brentwood. 

The house is slated for completion this spring and will be sold through the Town of Islip’s Affordable Housing Program to a qualifying low to moderate-income family. In 2006, the YouthBuild pilot program began in Suffolk County, New York with a house provided by the Town of Islip Community Development Agency. The finished project will be among the most energy efficient homes on Long Island.

According to Gunthner, young people from Long Island participated in the YouthBuild mentoring project while learning new construction skills and the benefits of green building techniques, design and construction. Gunthner served as the field and classroom instructor throughout the project and continues to work with United Way and local schools as a technical advisor for young people who are interested in the construction trades and building with sustainable products. Recently, Gunthner began a renovation project in Hempstead, NY where he will work with and instruct East Islip High School Career Academy students about how to build with energy efficient building methods and materials.

Beginning in 2008, Gunthner began to implement construction projects such as YouthBuild and others using the principles of sustainability. Gunthner’s company has been involved in numerous energy efficient reconstruction and remodeling jobs which have been featured in leading national and local news media. Additionally, Gunthner recently completed certification from the Building Performance Institute (BPI) as an energy rater to perform energy audits and complete reconstruction projects along with a number of energy efficient building services. Gunthner holds the prestigious Passive House Consultant designation awarded after extensive training at the Passive House Institute of the U.S.

“United Way’s YouthBuild organization and its students have built a home unlike any other in Brentwood,” said Gunthner. “Utilizing the construction talents of Paul Davis Restoration with Home Performance Technologies as our energy consultant, we have trained students in creating a sustainable living module on the site of a formerly condemned residence in the Town of Islip. This house makes tremendous sense on a number of levels. It was built to be inexpensive to operate which makes sense for everyone but especially the disadvantaged. It’s healthier and more fire resistant than most other homes as well.”

The home’s performance assessment was determined by Courville and his company, Building Performance Institute. Courville recently determined that the YouthBuild house has the lowest rate of air leakage rating that he has ever seen, a milestone unheard of in the green building industry. “This house truly represents ‘the little house that could’ and sets the standard in energy efficient construction methods,” Courville said. “For all involved, the most exciting thing about this project is the valuable learning experience for the professionals as mentors and the students as mentees,” he said.

YouthBuild participants worked with Gunthner and his staff through the New York State ENERGY STAR ® program which provides safe, healthy, affordable, durable and sustainable permanent housing solutions and focuses on using sustainable building materials, appliances and building methods.

Gunthner plans for the integrated teaching experience to become a prototype for learning green building methods and revolutionizing the construction industry in the U.S. “This modest home in Brentwood is the culmination of efforts among a few knowledgeable professionals who are dedicated to reducing carbon emissions while mobilizing local schools and communities,” said Gunthner. “United Way’s YouthBuild program and Paul Davis Restoration will continue to train a green workforce in the construction industry and build a green future with sustainable and affordable living spaces.”
