Video #1 – How to seal and cover stains on walls and ceilings

Basically, this video shows how stain sealer covers a black permanent marker stain on a wall.

While you certainly don’t want to use just standard paint, as stains will continue to show through. Because they may look covered when it’s freshly painted, dark stains and water stains will show through as it dries. While in this video we compare using standard paint to a sealer.

When considering, the cost of sealer, while it may seem high, is cheap compared to having to keep repainting spots. Stain sealer works well for water stains, smoke stains, crayon marks, and other marks and stains on your walls and ceilings. A must have product when you have a water or smoke damage.

Video #3 – Blocked Gutters and Roof Valleys

Another overlooked problem waiting to happen is blocked gutters. Because a blocked gutter can cause roof leaks, causing major damage to a house. Not only to the roof, but when gutters overflow they can cause a breakdown of wood. Overflowed water saturates into the wood, which causes the wood to rot. Plus, blocked gutters and poor drainage can also cause your basement walls to leak.

Make sure to clear gutters before and after every major storm.
