	MOISTURE
	The average house produces as many as 20 gallons of moisture each week. While some moisture is good, too much can be damaging to the house. It is important to have adequate ventilation to release excess moisture, particularily in the winter when windows are closed. Dryer vents, bathroom vents and range hoods all help eliminate moisture and should be kept clean and unobstructed. They should allow moisture to exit outside and never to the attic area.
	TOILETS
	Can you make your toilet rock back and forth while sitting on it? If so, you may have a flood hazard waiting to happen. Check to be sure the bolts are tight on either side of the toilet. If they are and the toilet still rocks, you probably need to replace the wax seal ring located between the toilet and the floor. A new seal ring costs about $5.00 and can save hundreds of dollars in flood damage to the bathroom and the ceiling below it.
	WATER HEATERS
	A hot water heater should be drained every few months in order to remove mineral and rust build-up from the bottom of the tank. If you haven't done this in a number of years, you may not want to start now since built up rust and mineral deposits my make it difficult to reseat the drain. A decrease in hot water temperature or volume can indicate a failing heating element. A popping sound inside the tank may indicate pending tank failure.
	CIRCUIT BREAKERS
	Circuit breaker switches should be exercised at least once each year. To do this simply flip the swithces from on to off and then back to on. (Of course, make sure no appliances are running at the time). This will limit corrosive build-up on the contacts and help prevent breaker malfunctions. You should also test your GFI circuits by pressing the "test" and then the "reset" buttons to insure that they are working properly.
