Irvine, Calif. (PRWEB) October 23, 2014
After several drier-than-normal years, many Southern California communities have let their roofing inspection and maintenance routines slip, falling back on an attitude of no rain, no leaks, no problem. But during that time, heat, expansion and contraction, wind, and general wear and tear may have caused unnoticed roof damage that can result in big trouble when the rain comes. Whether or not this winter will include major storms, Orange County roofing and water intrusion experts, Antis Roofing and Waterproofing, recommend getting an inspection before its too late.
According to roofing specialist Aaron Antis, cracked pipe sealant, split shingles, torn flat roofing and broken tiles are all possible roofing problems that can develop when a roof is not subject to regular inspection. These issues can contribute to leaks, but a simple inspection and maintenance routine is typically all that is needed to fix them. If left unchecked, however, they can cause water intrusion to the tune of thousands of dollars in exterior damages, plus interior damages resulting in costs that can be up to 10 times greater. Factor in the hassle and loss of confidence that comes with a problem that could have been easily avoided, and routine maintenance becomes a top line item on the to-do list.
We have definitely seen a slip in general maintenance across multi-housing communities, commented Antis. And while the weather holds, and theres no visible problem, its not much of an issue. But all it takes is one big storm and the degree of damage can be extreme.
Cracked pipe sealant, broken tiles and damaged areas are a main source of leaks, but theyre also easy fixes if detected before its too late. On the other hand, broken tiles and split shingles can cause the roofs felt underlayment to deteriorate. Once this protective layer becomes compromised, it can serve as a point of entry for water intrusion once the rain starts. This type of repair is more involved, but its worth the investment, because when ignored, it can lead to major expenses later on. Antis advises any community that has had leaks in the past and has yet to replace its roof to get an inspection as soon as possible.
You can gamble and face the possibility of a significant out-of-pocket cost if you lose, concludes Antis. Or you can budget for an inspection and some routine maintenance and have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you did everything you could to protect the interests of your renters and homeowners.
About Antis Roofing and Waterproofing: Antis Roofing and Waterproofing is an Orange County-based roofing, decking, repair, maintenance and replacement company servicing homeowners associations, multi-family and corporate housing communities. Now in its 25th year of business, Antis is renowned for an expertise in reroofing and decking that is coupled with a strong commitment to social responsibility. Antis donates the roofs for all Orange County Habitat for Humanity projects, along with providing support to a number of other charitable causes, including the Scleroderma Society of California and its annual Fight For Lexi Golf Tournament.

The roofing company and supervisor charged with occupational health and safety violations in relation to work being done on the Canadian Tire store in Corner Brook last spring have a trial date set in provincial court.
McCarthy's Roofing Ltd. was charged with two offences under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, namely failing to provide the necessary supervision to ensure the safety of workers and failing to ensure workers were provided with a suitable fall protection system.
Gregory Browning, a supervisor with the company, was charged with one violation, failing to ensure workers under his watch used equipment required under regulation.
The company and Browning have entered not guilty pleas and a trial date was set for Jan. 16 when the matter was called in provincial court in Corner Brook this week.
Two other employees have also been charged. The allegation against them is they failed to use equipment provided for their protection in accordance with the instructions for use and training provided. Their matters are being dealt with separately and their next appearance in provincial court is scheduled for Nov. 4.
An occupational health and safety officer noted violations on two occasions during site visits May 16, according to a Service NL press release announcing the charges this past summer. Workers on the roof were using fall protection equipment incorrectly, according to the officer.
On the first inspection, harnesses were being worn, but were not attached to the existing anchorages. On the second inspection that day, one worker was not connected to an anchorage and the second worker was connected incorrectly to the equipment. The supervisor was not present on either occasion.
Neither of the inspections at the Murphy Square store were the result of incidents involving injuries.

CRANFORD, NJ (PRWEB) October 23, 2014
Renewal by Andersen of Central and Northern New Jersey, the replacement window and patio door affiliate of Andersen Windows serving Central and Northern New Jersey and Metropolitan New York, Staten Island and Rockland County is proud to give back to U.S. military veterans and active duty soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress (PTS) and traumatic brain injury as a result of military service after 9/11.
Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey is sponsoring a benefit event to raise funds for support the noble efforts of K9s for Warriors on Nov. 16, 2014 at the Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway, NJ.
The event, K9s for Warriors Comedy Night, expects to raise over $65,000 for the non-profit organization that helps provide service dogs to U.S. veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury as a result of military service post 9/11. The organizations goal is to give a new leash on life to rescue dogs and military heroes, empowering warriors to return to civilian life with dignity and independence.
Post Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injuries are real issues for our soldiers coming back from the Middle East, Larry Landes, Renewal by Andersen of Central and Northern New Jersey president said. These issues have destroyed the lives of countless servicemen and women and these dogs have proven to have a dramatic positive impact on these heroes lives. We are honored to help however we can to get these heroes back on their feet and living productive lives again.
Our program has been successful, with documented recovery from the debilitating horrors of war, but the need is critical and overwhelming, Shari Duval, K9s for Warriors president said. We currently have a year-long waiting list, we must do more. Our plans are to expand our current program to serve more warriors. We will continue our goal of serving our Nations Greatest Asset, our Military Men and Women.
K9s for Warriors reports that it costs approximately $15,000 to train and pair up a rescue dog with a wounded warrior.
According to K9s for Warriors
Service dogs have been long used as companions and helpers for those with disabilities such as blindness, but only recently have we learned how they can help guide those suffering with less visible conditions.
As a recent graduate of the K9 for Warriors said, My dog provides me with a focal point to turn to when I feel myself triggered. In the past, my anxiety would ignite, like a rocket on a launch pad. Now, I have the wonderful ability to turn to my K9 to break the cycle. When I am in public, he has already learned what makes me anxious and leans into me to let me know he is right there with me. His presence is a confidence builder for me. In private, he has an innate ability to sense when I am spiraling downward. He asserts himself into my gloomy place and brightens my spirits. His unconditional love lets me know I can DO this! and we are going to face the world TOGETHER!

Mario Balotelli is fighting for his Liverpool career.
The Anfield giants' manager Brendan Rodgers stressed on Thursday that there is no room for sentiment in football. And that means he won't hesitate to bring in a replacement forward during the January transfer window if necessary.
Rodgers and Balotelli met before Thursday training and the player was fined for swapping shirts with Real Madrid defender Pepe at half-time of the 3-0 Champions League defeat by the Spanish side the night before.
More importantly than the shirt-swapping issue, the Italian's performances since his 16million move from AC Milan two months ago are proving a huge concern to Rodgers - and the January transfer window opens in 68 days.
He said: At this moment in time, Ill be working with the players that we have and he is one of them. Not just improving him, but improving all the players. And we will see come January what the team needs."
Balotelli has had the second-most shots per game of any striker in any of the top five leagues in Europe, but is yet to score in the Premier League. His only Liverpool goal so far came in the Champions League win over Ludogorets.
Rodgers said: We brought in the player to give him a chance, and [we] give him every chance. At this moment in time, of course, he hasnt scored the goals we would like or want. We have to give him that opportunity, and we will give him every opportunity.

As the winter months approach, homeowners across the country are looking at the prospects of high heating costs once again, and many are looking at possible ways to cut their utility bills. Those are exactly the drivers of demand that Watsco is looking for, as it takes responsibility for getting systems from suppliers like United Technologies 'Carrier division and the local repair and installation companies that put in and maintain HVAC systems in homes across the country. As trends like the move from heating oil to natural gas in many areas of the country have taken hold, Watsco has been able to capitalize on increased demand for more efficient heating and cooling systems. Yet some investors were nervous about Watsco's prospects for its third-quarter results, given a relatively cool summer season. Let's take a closer look at how Watsco did last quarter.
Racking up records at Watsco Watsco touted a number of record results for its third quarter, as the company enjoyed solid gains in its most important metrics. Revenue climbed by 5% to a record $1.135 billion, helping to drive earnings per share up 18% to $1.56, also a record. The most important driver of those positive results was margin expansion and cost containment, as Watsco saw gross profit margins rise by three-tenths of a percentage point and operating margins climb by half a percentage point. Overhead costs fell to record low levels, and operating profits jumped 10% to record levels of $105 million.

Looking at Watsco's various business units, the company produced solid growth in most of its key segments. Revenue from HVAC equipment, which makes up about two-thirds of overall sales, climbed 7%, with residential equipment in particular seeing 8% growth as Watsco captured a greater portion of the overall market. In particular, Watsco saw continued efforts from homeowners seeking to take advantage of incentives for high-efficiency residential heating and cooling systems, as the company reported double-digit percentage growth in the high-efficiency area. Commercial refrigeration sales gained 14%, leading the company's segments. Only the Other HVAC Products category reported flat results compared to last year's levels.
Also helping to drive Watsco's results higher was its increased ownership interest in its joint venture with Carrier. With the company having partnered up with the United Technologies division in 2009, Watsco has generated considerable success from the venture, and Watsco decided to spend $88 million to raise its stake in the venture from 70% to 80%.
What's coming next for Watsco? In light of its success, Watsco said that it expects to see earnings per share for the full 2014 year come in between $4.20 and $4.40. That would represent growth of between 14% and 20%, and it's consistent with the $4.26 per share consensus among investors.

Physical plant receives awards -
October 23, 2014 by
Mr HomeBuilder
UNM energy engineers at the Physical Plant Department were recognized by the New Mexico Association of Energy Engineers with two prestigious awards for decades of achievements in increasing energy efficiency on campus.
The PPDs Engineering and Energy Services division won the Corporate Energy Management award for outstanding accomplishments in developing, organizing, managing and implementing their corporate energy management program, according to the NMAEE website.
And Donald Swick, University facilities engineer, was honored with Energy Engineer of the Year award for his lifetime achievements.
The award is given to an individual for outstanding accomplishments in promoting the practices, principles and procedures of energy engineering, the website said.
Swick said his individual award is based on his work in energy conservation for the past 40 years at various locations around the state. Most of his work at UNM has involved upgrading the infrastructures of some of UNMs oldest facilities, such as Northrop and Regener Halls, he said.
Each of those projects was a total upgrade of building controls, improvements to the heating and cooling systems and reduced wattage to lighting systems, Swick said. Typically, we saw in the range of 35- to 45-percent savings in each of those projects.
The true honor is having the opportunity to work with a talented group of engineers at the PPD, he said.
Not only are we looking at projects that involve improving the performance within buildings, we have developed a group of technicians that have the training and the skills to install, operate and maintain these new digital control systems, Swick said.
David Penasa, facilities engineer-electrical, said he has been involved with the PPD for 11 years. He and his fellow engineers have been working hard to reduce UNMs energy dependence and to be recognized for (their) work is extremely gratifying, he said.
The fact that we can save on the order of more than a million dollars a year in utility costs by implementing these energy conservation projects, I think, is pretty impressive, Penasa said.
