Tip of the Week Preventing Termite Damage
Termites cause over a billion dollars in U S damage annually. Repair stucco cracks and siding gaps with paint or stain. Keep soil eight inches below siding, grade away from the house, and prevent earth to wood contact with concrete footings. Seal leaks and grout bathrooms to stop damp framing.
