Now that many of you are spending more time at home due to COVID-19 you might be thinking about all of those home projects that have been on the back burner. Or, maybe you’ve started to notice that leaky faucet or dripping shower head. It’s possible that you’re putting these projects off because you don’t want to incur a costly expense at a time when things are so uncertain. Many of these repairs don’t have to cost an arm and a leg to address. In fact, a few cheap fixes now could help prevent costly repairs down the line. Below are some inexpensive home repairs that you can complete now to prevent having to shell out thousands of dollars in the future:
- Installing insulation in your attic – The Arizona heat can be brutal and so can the electric bills that go along with it. Adding some insulation to your attic or walls can be extremely helpful and an inexpensive way to save money on soaring energy costs during the hot summer months.
- Upgrading your irrigation system – You don’t have to spend lots of money to water your lawn. Replacing broken sprinkler heads and installing a timer for your sprinklers can extend your water usage and significantly lower your monthly water bill.
- Replacing moist or moldy drywall – Have you ever noticed any discoloration on your ceilings or moisture on your bathroom walls even though it’s been some time since you’ve taken a shower? This might be indicative of an interior leak which can wreak havoc if left unaddressed. Luckily, replacing the drywall and repairing the leak is relatively inexpensive and will help prevent a future disaster.
- Replacing a leaky faucet – It is never a good sign when you notice leaking water. Not only is it a continuous reminder that you’re wasting water but the constant dripping sound can be rather annoying. If left leaking it could not only cost you money on your monthly water bill but it could also cause major water damage and mold problems. Many times the faucets just need new seals and springs and don’t need to be completely replaced however; in the event that the faucet does need to be completely replaced there are many cost effective options available.
