🔨 Before you swing the hammer, ask one very unglamorous question:

“What exactly am I about to disturb?”

Because older homes can hide asbestos in places people do not always think about, such as:

Flooring.
Drywall compound.
Ceiling texture.
Insulation.
Old building materials tucked behind “just a quick renovation.”

And once those materials are disturbed, asbestos fibres can become airborne. That is when a simple job can turn into a much bigger safety issue.

So before the walls come down, the flooring comes up, or the ceiling gets scraped, test first.

First General Kamloops provides professional asbestos testing, asbestos abatement and hazardous material removal services in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Merritt, Clearwater, Chase and surrounding areas.

Renovations are exciting. Hazardous surprises behind the walls? Not so much.

Planning work on an older home or building? Call First General Kamloops before you disturb anything questionable.

When wildfire smoke gets into a home, the smell is often just the beginning.

Smoke and soot particles can settle into walls, ceilings, carpets, furniture, vents, insulation, and personal belongings. Even if the home looks mostly fine, the odour and residue can linger long after the fire has passed.

Before cleaning, moving items, or turning on HVAC systems, it is smart to have the damage assessed properly.

First General Kamloops provides professional fire and smoke damage cleanup services, odour removal, soot cleanup, water damage restoration, and emergency restoration for homes affected by wildfire conditions.

If you are returning after an evacuation or heavy smoke exposure, follow local emergency instructions first. Once it is safe, our team can help assess the damage and guide the restoration process.

Serving Kamloops, Chase, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Merritt, Clearwater, Clinton and surrounding areas.

🦠 That basement smell is not a personality trait. You know the one.

That “hmm, is it damp down here or is my house just being weird?” smell.

Warm weather, leftover spring moisture and poor ventilation can create the perfect setup for mold growth, especially in basements, storage rooms, bathrooms and anywhere moisture likes to lurk.

And here’s the annoying part:

Mold usually does not send a formal announcement.

It starts with a musty smell.
Then maybe a little staining.
Then a damp patch.
Then suddenly your basement is giving haunted house energy in the middle of summer.

If your basement smells musty, feels damp, or has suspicious spots on the walls or flooring, don’t wait for it to become a bigger problem.

First General Kamloops provides professional mold remediation, mold removal services and water damage restoration in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Merritt, Clearwater, Chase and surrounding areas.

Smell something musty? Don’t let your basement keep secrets. Call First General Kamloops and let our team check it out.

Water damage is not always obvious at first.

Sometimes, the real problem is hiding behind drywall, under flooring, or inside wall cavities - and that’s where professional restoration makes a difference.

This project shows part of the water damage restoration process: protecting the space, removing damaged materials, drying affected areas, and restoring the room safely.

At First General Kamloops, we help homeowners with water damage restoration, emergency restoration, flood cleanup, drying, and property restoration in Kamloops and surrounding areas.

If you notice water stains, damp smells, bubbling paint, or signs of a leak, don’t wait. Hidden moisture can lead to bigger damage and mold growth if it isn’t handled properly.

We’ve all been there.

You’re finally on vacation.
Bags are packed. Snacks are open. Playlist is on.

And then your brain whispers:

“Did I turn off the stove?” 😳

Or the iron.
Or the curling wand.
Or the dishwasher.
Or that one appliance you suddenly can’t remember touching.

Before you leave, do one final home safety walkthrough:

✔ Check the stove and oven
✔ Unplug small appliances
✔ Turn off unnecessary electronics
✔ Check smoke and CO detectors
✔ Turn off the water main if possible
✔ Ask someone you trust to check on the house

Because vacation should be about relaxing - not mentally touring your kitchen from 400 km away.

A quick check before you go can help prevent fire risks, leaks, and unexpected property damage while you’re away.

And if the unexpected does happen, First General Kamloops is here for emergency restoration, water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage cleanup, and property restoration in Kamloops.

🐝 Seeing wasps going in and out of a hole in your siding?

Wasps often use existing openings in wood siding, soffits, vents, or damaged exterior areas to build nests. That hole could be a sign of rotted wood, water damage, pest damage, or weakened materials around your home.

And once pests move in, the problem can get worse.

If you notice insects entering your siding, walls, roofline, or exterior wood, don’t just think about pest removal. It may also be time to check for hidden property damage.

First General Kamloops helps homeowners with property restoration, water damage restoration, structural damage repair, and cleanup services in Kamloops and surrounding areas.

Small holes can lead to bigger problems if ignored.
