Superior Restoration Offers Tips for Protecting Your Home From Flooding
2012-05-02
CARLSBAD, CA, May 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) Summer vacation season is almost upon us, and while many homeowners think about protecting their home from break-ins while away, few stop to consider the risk of flooding. Flood damage can occur while homeowners are away and can leave them with permanently damaged possessions and costly home repairs upon their return.

Superior Restoration, a company with 17 years of experience repairing water damage in San Diego, wants to help homeowners to enjoy peace of mind during their travel time this summer by minimizing the risk of flood-related damage while they are away from home. Here are a few expert tips that every homeowner or renter should consider before leaving home for an extended period of time.

- Turn Off the Water Heater- Turning off the water heater won't take very long, but does protect homes from flooding should a water heater fail. Many water heaters have a vacation mode for easy shut off. Another perk of turning off the water heater is energy savings.

- Consider Turning Off Water Supply to Appliances or Home- Another way to minimize the risk of home flooding while away is to shut off the water supply to the home. This can often be done easily from a switch near the water meter. Homeowners that prefer to leave the water on may want to shut off appliances that use water, such as the washing machine.

- Inspect Potential Flood Hazards Before Leaving- It is a good idea to look for potential flood hazards before leaving and to repair any potential problems. Look for loose pipes, cracks in plastic piping or hoses with signs of leaking and corrosion.

- Make Sure Flood Insurance is Up to Date- Flood insurance won't prevent a flood, but it sure is nice to have if flooding does occur while away. Check all insurance policies and make sure that premium payments are all up to date. Water damage repair and San Diego mold damage recovery can be expensive.

"There's a lot you can do to minimize the risk of flooding before heading out on summertime travel," says Gabriel Prieto, president of Superior Restoration. "A little prevention will save a lot of hassle. These tips will help homeowners and renters to minimize their flooding risk while out of town."

Superior Restoration, a Carlsbad water damage, mold damage and fire damage restoration company, offers restoration services and carpet cleaning to homeowners, business owners and renters in the San Diego area. The company has 24 hour/365 days emergency services available and its professionals have the training and experience needed to restore damaged homes and property. Contractors License # 780181.

Blood pressure drugs linked with lower PTSD symptoms

2012-05-02
Traumatized people who take a class of common blood pressure medications tend to have less severe post-traumatic stress symptoms, researchers have found. The finding suggests that ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors or ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers) could be valuable tools for treating or preventing post-traumatic stress disorder. The results were published online May 1 in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. "These results are particularly exciting because it's the first time ACE inhibitors and ARBs have been connected to PTSD, and it gives us a ...

Treating childhood obesity: A family affair

2012-05-02
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – May 1, 2012 – With nearly one-third of American children being overweight or obese, doctors agree that there is an acute need for more effective treatments. In many weight management programs, the dropout rate can be as high as 73 percent, and even in successful programs, the benefits are usually short term. Although family-based approaches to pediatric obesity are considered the gold standard of treatment, theories of the family and how it functions have not been incorporated into effective interventions, according to a study published in the May ...

Jurassic pain: Giant 'flea-like' insects plagued dinosaurs 165 million years ago

2012-05-02
CORVALLIS, Ore. – It takes a gutsy insect to sneak up on a huge dinosaur while it sleeps, crawl onto its soft underbelly and give it a bite that might have felt like a needle going in – but giant "flea-like" animals, possibly the oldest of their type ever discovered, probably did just that. And a few actually lived through the experience, based on the discovery by Chinese scientists of remarkable fossils of these creatures, just announced in Current Biology, a professional journal. These flea-like animals, similar but not identical to modern fleas, were probably 10 ...

McLean Report on nanotechnology that may enhance medication delivery and improve MRI performance

2012-05-02
Belmont, MA - Researchers at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital have shown a new category of "green" nanoparticles comprised of a non-toxic, protein-based nanotechnology that can non-invasively cross the blood brain barrier and is capable of transporting various types of drugs. In an article published May 1, 2012 online in PLoS ONE, Gordana Vitaliano, MD, director of the Brain Imaging NaNoTechnology Group at the McLean Hospital Imaging Center, reported that clathrin protein, a ubiquitous protein found in human, animal, plant, bacteria and fungi cells, can been modified ...

Moffitt Cancer Center researchers identify drivers of sarcoma growth and survival

2012-05-02
To better understand the signaling pathways active in sarcomas, researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center used state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based proteomics to characterize a family of protein enzymes that act as "on" or "off" switches important in the biology of cancer. The tyrosine kinases they identified, the researchers said, could act as "drivers" for the growth and survival of sarcomas. Sarcomas are relatively rare forms of cancer. In contrast to carcinomas, which arise from epithelial cells (in breast, colon and lung cancers, for example), sarcomas are tumors ...
