Why MY HOME WATCH ???

During a My Home Watch visit at our client’s property, we caught water coming from an AC vent and found some mold in the utility room ceiling. Thanks to our thorough checks, we’re getting it addressed before it becomes a bigger issue. Staying proactive is what we do best!

Hurricane Beryl Update: Increased Threat for Texas Gulf Coast

Date: July 5, 7 AM.

Hurricane Beryl Update: Increased Threat for Texas Gulf Coast
Date: July 5, 7 AM
From Alan Holt, our local meteorologist:

Current Status: Beryl has made landfall over the Yucatán Peninsula, maintaining Category 2 status with 100 mph winds.
Forecasted Path: The storm’s northward shift in the Gulf could lead to further strengthening.
Impact on Texas Gulf Coast:
Pinpointing landfall is challenging due to Beryl’s parallel approach to the coastline.
Slight path changes could result in different landfall locations.
Landfall is likely on Monday morning, with timing dependent on the storm’s northward position.

Preparation:
Our team will head out tomorrow to prepare clients’ houses.
Stay informed as the forecast can change rapidly.
Stay safe and prepared. More updates to follow.

After the recent coastal flood, our beautiful beach has revealed an ugly truth: the sheer amount of trash left behind by us. It’s heartbreaking to see our natural paradise turned into a dumping ground🥲
This serves as a powerful reminder of the impact we have on our environment. Every piece of trash tells a story of neglect, but it also gives us an opportunity to change.
Let’s all do our part:
* Reduce our waste
* Reuse what we can
* Recycle responsibly
Together, we can make a difference and restore the pristine beauty of our beaches.

Every drop counts! Let’s save water and keep our city thriving 💧 . CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — The City of Corpus Christi will implement Stage 2 Water Restrictions on Tuesday, March 12.

City Manager Peter Zanoni will make the announcement during a news conference that will be held at the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant at 13101 Leopard Street.

According to a press release, the City of Corpus Christi, the city’s combined western reservoir storage levels have dropped below 30 percent, triggering Stage 2 Water Shortage conditions.

Under Stage 2, residents will only be allowed to water their lawns once every other week instead of one week. The city will also monitor use. People who use too much water could face a fine.
The city has been under Stage 1 water restrictions since June 14, 2022.
