Using creosote-treated lumber for utility poles and dock pilings is an effective way to combat wood rot and insect infestations, but it’s not a good idea to use it in the construction of buildings occupied by people. Wood that’s preserved with creosote, a chemical mixture, typically receives treatment deep into its core. This means the wood can give off smelly ...
In coastal areas like Houston and surrounding Texas communities, a storm doesn’t have to reach hurricane strength to cause flooding in many neighborhoods. Even if you don’t live in a floodplain, heavy downpours that last for a few days may saturate the ground and cause water to seep into your home. What’s more, even a small roof leak can lead ...

But the best part was EnviroShield stopped any moisture from seeping through the foundation. I am now adding a workshop, bathroom and family room to previously wasted space.
