When you have had enough of cleaning your dog’s drool from your favorite sofa, or you simply cannot stand the sight of your elegant leather couch with scratch marks on it, it’s time to take some action and get your shiba puppy or any other dog that you have, his own bed. The advantages are numerous. Your dog gets to have his own private space where he can relax at any time of the day and not depend on your schedule. Once he learns that sleeping or lying in your bed is forbidden, you will no longer deal with the damage caused by your little chewer.

Sharing the bed with a dog, or any other pet is not recommended, especially when it comes to children, who happen to be the all-time dog lovers. However, you have to make them understand that it is in the dog’s best interest to have his own bed. How can you do that? You just have to point out that the dog has special needs just like they do that have to be fulfilled in order for your dog to feel loved and cared for. You have to treat him as a member of the family and think of his well-being while sparing yourself the trouble of cleaning your own bed or sofa after your dog.

The variety that dog beds come in can be overwhelming. The basic criteria for choosing a dog bed for your pet should include size, shape, fabric, and color. You can choose from small, large or medium-size dog beds, round, rectangular or donut dog beds, wooden dog beds, outdoor dog beds, heated dog beds, personalized dog beds, and many more. However, purpose represents an important criterion for some dog owners shopping for beds for their pets. Some old dogs suffering from hip or joint pain or arthritis are in need of special beds and orthopedic dog beds have been designed especially for them. Special beds have also been created for the dogs that love to chew and give their owners a hard time by ruining things around the house if you have one of these dogs the chew-proof Kuranda dog beds are the choice for you.

Orthopedic dog beds are designed for dogs with joint or bone problems, as well as for those that are young but prone to have these types of problems. Some dog breeds make them prone to such problems, especially from a certain age. If your home does not have the appropriate temperature all around the year and your dog likes to lie on the floor a lot, this habit of his may lead to such health problems, which can so easily be prevented with orthopedic dog beds. Such beds should not be an option, but a must if your dog is already showing signs of joint or bone pain or a similar condition.

Orthopedic dog beds are suitable for young healthy dogs as well, in order to keep their joints healthy and try to prevent a serious condition. Orthopedic dog beds come in many sizes and shapes with the overall common factor being the orthopedic grade supportive foam, coil springs, memory foam, and sturdy design that give the added support of your aging four-legged friends.

Other dog owners are faced with a serious and disturbing problem of their dogs chewing everything around the house, including kitchen units, dog flaps, floor coverings, and even some so-called indestructible fabrics. The solution for these people is the Kuranda dog beds.

You have a choice of aluminum or poly resin frames with several types of fabrics. Kuranda dog beds are easy to clean, durable, and ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

French drains prevent water from flooding on your basement floors. When it is rainy and wet outside, the soil around your foundation is saturated with water. Since water weighs more, it pushes against the walls of your basement and if the water is too much, it can even move up your basement slab. This is where affordable roof restorations are vital in helping you keep your basement safe from all the rainwater. 

A damp-proofing membrane that usually consists of asphalt coating is used to hold this water back. However, a small gap or crack on the membrane can allow a lot of water in making the basement flood.

However, instead of risking major leakage and fighting hydrostatic pressure, when your house is being built, you can have footing of the French drain installed externally. It releases the pressure as well as drain the water away from your house. In case an exterior French drain fails, it causes the affected basements to flood.

When your exterior drain fails, either you can install a new drain by digging up or you can install an interior French drain. Installing a new drain requires digging around your home perimeter affecting the utilities, landscaping, and walkways. This disruption of your normal routine is very significant.

To avoid all this, consider installing an interior French drain. It requires less time to install and causes less disruption. Interior French drain also cost less and you do not have to worry about future clogging

Where to install a French drain.

You can have French drains installed in any location around the foundation. An exterior French drain is installed on the outside edge of a footing while interior French drains are installed on the inside edge of the footing. Both internal and external are prone to clogging, however, for long-lasting and effective water control, keep French drain out of the mud zone and along the footing edge.

How to install a French drain

First, we will have your stuff moved and covered with plastic, then lay tarps on the floor. A deep channel is then dug and pitched. For walls constructed using cinder block, we tap through the lowest course of the block and then we install weep holes for draining the water in the walls. An HDPE pipe is installed in the trench for taking water to a sump sea.

We then install a 300 gallon/ hour submersible pump covered with a polyethylene liner to discharge water. Normally, for a basement whose perimeter is 124 feet and below, only one sump pump is used. For basements whose perimeter range from 125-249, a two-sump pump is installed.

Next, we install a poly drain wallboard on the perimeter bottom as well as over the whole basement trench. The drainage pipe and the wallboard are then covered with gravel and the basement floor is cemented back to its level.

Lastly, we clean up, remove all the plastic covers, and leave your basement in a better state with no problems of flooding in the future.

We install only quality and patented drainage system at the clear water zone. Our innovative designs combined with the location will give you the best protection against the intrusion of water.
