Q. Can I
purchase HouseGuard or Tru-Dry in a bucket or other container and apply the
product myself?

and Tru-Dry product requires special application tools at a significant
investment which will not be cost effective for the homeowner or a one-time
application process. You would be best served by contacting our offices for

Q. Can
HouseGuard or Tru-Dry be used on a the outside walls of an existing
home?
A. Yes, but let's qualify the
answer. In order for either product to be applied, the entire wall surface must
be exposed and cleaned. This expense may become prohibitive and possibly
another solution should be explored. Our products are designed to be applied to
a new home under construction.

Q. What are
some of the things I can do to minimize water problems for my home?
A. There are several things you should do to
help minimize the potential for water entering your basement:
Be
sure the ground around the home slopes away from the home
Be
sure all downspouts and gutters are functional and the downspouts are extended
a minimum of three to six feet from the foundation
If
the home is constructed of brick, apply a brick sealer to the brick surface as
brick can allow water to penetrate and travel down the wall and enter the
basement.
