| This week is the Fire Prevention week as announced by the National Fire Prevention Association. A very simple preventive and life saving measure is to ensure that your smoke and CO detectors and alarms are not only working but that they are within their life expectancy. How often do smoke alarms need to be replaced? A national survey shows most Americans don’t know. The NFPA and many manufacturers recommend replacing the smoke detectors every ten years. Read this article here. If you are not home or need help with replacing batteries or checking your smoke detectors, give us a call. JP Lalonde Home Watcher LV Las Vegas #HomeWatch |  |

 The Southern Nevada Water Authority was talking about this for a couple years and now it is official.
From May 1 through Aug. 31, watering restrictions prohibit landscape irrigation between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday watering also is prohibited. During the hottest hours of the day, water is often lost to evaporation from the heat and high winds. Water your landscape early in the morning, before sunrise, to reduce evaporation caused by wind and heat. Experts agree that running drip irrigation less frequently is much better for plants than daily watering. We will verify your irrigation timer to set the schedule according to the latest watering restrictions. JP @ Home Watcher LV. Yes, sometimes you get what you were wishing for. Unfortunately, the cost and timing is not right. Home Watching pays off. Who knows, perhaps you'd end up with a lake and a huge water bill. This is a water leak caused by a cracked plastic water supply line to the irrigation system. Fortunately the problem was found prior to significant damage to the property.

This is a friendly warning for all the vacant property owners who are not able to or elect not to close the main water valve. Fortunately in this case, someone was home and heard this splashing noise in the laundry room. The washer hose connection had corroded over time and became weak. That morning was the end of its life. The hose popped out and the flooding started. Within a few minutes, there was water everywhere on the laundry room floor and quickly expanding to other rooms. The washer water supply valve was closed quickly to avoid a significant disaster. The bottom line is, close the main water valve when the property is vacant AND have a look at the washer hose connections at both ends. Any evidence of corrosion is a sign that the hoses should be replaced. JP at Home Watcher LV. #HomeWatch

Thanks to the NHWA for giving me this certificate. It's been a pleasure to be involved with the Advisory Board and help the NHWA raise the bar in the level of knowledge and services for all members. The NHWA is definitely showing its value and heading in the right direction.

As you'll hear in today's local TV news, they are everywhere around the valley. Be careful with your pets if you live in an area close to natural and vacant land.
