Do smoke detectors really save lives?

• <div><p>Absolutely! Smoke alarms are lifesavers. According to the <a href="https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Staying-safe/Safety-equipment/Smoke-alarms#:~:text=The%20death%20rate%20per%201%2C000,5.8%20deaths%20per%201%2C000%20fires).">National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)</a>, per 1,000 reported home fires, homes without working smoke alarms have a death rate nearly twice as high as those that <i>do</i> have working alarms. So remember to ensure you have enough installed in your home and that they are working and in good shape.</p></div>

Can I build a fire pit on my patio?

• <div><p>You can safely build a fire pit on your patio as long as you use porous, fire-resistant pavers or a fire pit mat over existing pavers. Otherwise, you’ll need to have exposed ground beneath your pit. You’ll also need to make sure the location for the fire pit is far enough away from your house and any other nearby structures.</p></div>

Q: Besides grounding outlets, how else can I protect my home?

• <div><p>Grounding is a great first step to prevent electrical shock, but you can take it further with GFCI outlets and AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters). In particular, AFCIs help protect against the type of electrical arcs that cause fires, like if a mouse chews on a wire or your laptop starts overheating at the wall. These are required in some areas of your home.</p></div>

Q: Are smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors the same?

• <div><p>No, but they both serve distinct life-saving purposes. Smoke detectors primarily sense the presence of smoke, typically caused by a fire, and emit loud alarms to alert occupants to evacuate. In contrast, carbon monoxide detectors monitor the levels of carbon monoxide gas, an odorless and colorless but deadly substance produced by incomplete combustion of fuels. When CO levels become dangerous, CO detectors sound alarms to warn inhabitants of potential poisoning risks. </p></div>

Q: How long do you burn a creosote log by itself?

• <div><p>In general, it will take about 90 minutes to burn the creosote sweeping log by itself, allowing it to work its magic. This may be longer or shorter depending on the conditions of your chimney.</p></div>

Jose and his team did a fantastic job. They installed two French drains, two surface drainage systems, a sump pump and pit, and tied it all in to my existing drainage. They were very pleasant to work with, and were very prompt. I give them my highest recommendation.

He took out the old fire-rated door and frame and installed the new one with handles. All we have to do is spackle over some of the nail holes and plug up the bottom sides where the metal flooring piece did not meet the wooden door frame.
