Most of the materials in the structure of a home can last more than a hundred years….if it’s dry.

Quick Facts about durability

• An air conditioning unit or furnace that is not sized properly will short cycle (turn on and off a lot) which significantly reduces the life of the appliance.
• Moisture traveling through the insulation will wick the fiberglass fibers and reduce it’s effective insulation value.
• Mold does not just grow on the surface of materials; it eats the building materials.
• Ice dams (icicles hanging from the roof) will push water under the shingles and damage the roof and even push water into the home in severe cases.
