Severe storms lift shingles, drive rain under flashing and push on garage doors. Wind-rated materials and solid nailing patterns pay off here.

Expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks in drought, which moves slab foundations and cracks walls, floors and plumbing.

Hard water leaves scale in water heaters, faucets, dishwashers and shower valves, shortening their lives. A softener protects new fixtures.
