Your yard saw some fall rain and decided it was ready to audition for a lake?

A few puddles might not seem like a big deal, but when water keeps pooling close to your house, it can become a problem. Water can find its way into basements, crawl spaces, walls and flooring, especially if gutters, downspouts or drainage are not doing their job.

After a heavy rain, take a quick walk around your home and check where the water is collecting.

If you notice pooling water, damp basement smells, stains, or signs of moisture, First General Kamloops can help with professional water damage restoration, flood cleanup and mold remediation.

Serving Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Merritt, Clearwater, Chase and surrounding areas.
Save our number before the puddle gets promoted.

💧 Your basement may be giving you hints.
Not polite hints. More like suspicious smells, damp corners, water stains, weird humidity and that feeling that something downstairs is plotting.
Heavy rain, melting snow, poor drainage and sump pump issues can all send water where it does not belong. And once water gets inside, it can affect flooring, walls, belongings and create the perfect setup for mold.
Signs to watch for:

✔ Musty smells
✔ Damp spots
✔ Water stains
✔ Bubbling paint
✔ Puddles after rain
✔ A sump pump that sounds tired, dramatic, or suspiciously silent

First General Kamloops provides water damage restoration, emergency restoration and flood cleanup services in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Merritt, Clearwater, Chase and surrounding areas.
If your basement is hinting at trouble, do not wait for it to become an indoor pool. Give us a call.

🎒 Back-to-school season is here, which means the house is about to enter full chaos mode.

Lunch containers multiplying in the sink.
Laundry piles growing like they pay rent.
Dishwashers working overtime.
Fridges packed with snacks, leftovers and mystery containers nobody wants to claim.

And quietly in the background?

Your appliances are just hoping for somebody to check their hoses, valves or seals. 👀

Washing machines, dishwashers, fridges and hot water tanks can cause serious water damage when something fails. A quick five-minute check now can help prevent a very soggy surprise later.

Things to look for:

✔ Cracked or bulging hoses
✔ Water around appliances
✔ Rusty valves
✔ Drips under sinks
✔ Strange smells or damp flooring nearby

Because the only thing that should be flooding your house this school year is permission slips, not water.

First General Kamloops provides professional water damage restoration, emergency restoration and flood cleanup services in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Merritt, Clearwater, Chase and surrounding areas.

Notice a leak, damp spot or appliance issue? Don’t wait for it to become a bigger mess. Call First General Kamloops and let our team check it out.

🧼 Summer has officially entered the carpet.

You know the evidence:

- Kids running in from the yard.
- Pets living their best life.
- Backyard shoes that definitely should have stayed outside.
- Dust, dirt, snacks, mystery spots and that one stain nobody wants to take responsibility for.

Your carpet has been through it.

And while vacuuming helps, it only gets what’s sitting on the surface. A professional deep clean helps remove built-up dirt, stains and trapped odours hiding deeper in the fibres.

First General Kamloops offers professional carpet cleaning and area rug cleaning in Kamloops, helping homes feel fresher, cleaner and a little less “summer happened here.”

Fresh carpets can change the whole room.

And yes, your carpet probably knows it is overdue.

Ready to give your carpets a proper reset? Call First General Kamloops to book professional carpet cleaning.

🔨 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.
