If there is one thing that most Houston residents will agree about it is their basements: They don’t have any! It is extremely rare to find a home in Houston with a basement. There are several reasons for this. First of all, the soil around many Houston homes is more sand than compact dirt and that sand is not the best condition for digging deep and building upon. Secondly, there is the water level issue. Houston, like most of Texas, is situated on a water table that is below sea level. When the rains come, basements flood. Bottom line, you’ll be hard pressed to find a Houston basement in the traditional sense of the word. But there are plenty of “Texas basements” to be found throughout the city.
Instead of going underground, think of a Texas basement as any storage space above ground like an attic or spare room above a garage. And just like a traditional basement, these spaces often end up becoming the storage depot for the entire family. Here is where the unused clothes, the fried computers and bulky boxes go to live. The question is are you making the best use of your Texas basement?
There are some attics which can only fit a few boxes piled on top of planks that cover insulation. But if you can stand up in your attic without clunking your head on the rafters, then you might be able to put that room to a better use than as a storage locker. This also holds true for that room above the garage. Could you use a guest room? Do you need to give one of your kids their own bedroom to cut back on the sibling squabbles? Maybe you’ve been thinking of starting your own home business and need an office. Any one of those needs could be satisfied by converting your Texas basement into a usable space but first you have to get rid of all that junk. One call to a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Houston will do the trick.
These professional junk haulers will show up at your home with the muscle and truck space required to haul off anything you want to toss out. There’s probably a lot of junk that can finally be tossed away up in your Texas basement but you don’t have to stop there. As long as you’ve got a crew and truck to fill up, why not fill it up with everything that is meant for the dumpster. Maybe you can’t use your attic for a home office but you could probably get plenty of use out of your garage if you get rid of all that clutter. Whatever you decide is important to keep, get it up off the floor and onto some durable shelves. There are some folks who have taken their garage conversions seriously by removing the huge door and replacing it with a wall and windows.
Whether your Houston basement is a below ground or above ground type, you can get a lot of benefits from removing your junk with the help of Junk King Houston.
Have you heard the term “brazen thief?” This is a crook that is only focused on making a score and doesn’t care where, when or how he’ll accomplish that task. Case in point: On March 28 at around 5 a.m. a thief stole a large metal bread rack from the loading dock of the Stop and Shop Goodwives Shopping Center. Then on April 4th a second bread rack was stolen from the same place at around the same time. Coincidence or the work of a repeat offender? This comes on top of another robbery involving 400 pounds of copper wire. Clearly, there are some crooks out there targeting anything made of metal in the hopes of cashing in.
Spring is for fresh starts and that’s just what you should be giving your home: a fresh start. This can be accomplished with a serious spring cleaning.

Many families across Houston are deciding to eat a bit healthier. The best way to accomplish this is by simply adding more “green food” to your plate. This means a lot more salad, vegetables and even fruit. The trick is making sure that the green food you’re eating is as fresh as it can possibly be. Sure it’s easy to pop some frozen broccoli into the microwave and nuke that for dinner but you will be depriving yourself of essential nutrients that can only be found in fresh vegetables. That’s why many Houston families are also growing their own fresh veggies. This is a fun project that can involve the whole family and teach kids about better eating habits. Is there anything better than picking a salad from your own backyard?
Following the lead of many cities across the country Houston is getting into the recycling game. As the program gets underway not every neighborhood has the opportunity for a weekly recycling pick up. But that’s not the say that you can’t request to be put on the waiting list. According to the official site for the city of Houston you just need to follow these plans:
Much like the electricity that comes into our homes, most of us don’t even think about how our water heater works; that is until it breaks down! The water heater is something we depend on every time we turn on the faucet, take a shower or do a load of laundry. Given those daily events is it any wonder that a water heater is put through a lot of stress? Depending upon how old your current water heater is you might find that it’s time for replacement. As you go shopping for a new water heater you’ll be presented with several different options in terms of design and functionality.
If you had to rate yourself on the scale of one to 10 with one being “you throw everything away” and 10 being “you’ve never throw anything away” where would you fall on that scale? Most people hover somewhere around the middle. They throw away those things that clutter up the house but still manage to stuff closets full of junk. On the opposite end of that spectrum you have the hoarders who hang onto everything. In extreme cases, like the ones they showcase on reality television, these hoarders can actually cause harm to themselves and their neighborhood. Maybe you’re on the verge of becoming a hoarder through no real fault of your own; you just don’t have the means to get rid of your junk. That no longer has to be the case in Houston when you can hire 
Let’s get real: How many times have you made the New Year’s resolution to get in shape only to have that fly right out the window by March? Sure, there are a lot of reasons to prevent you from working out like not enough time in your day to travel back and forth to the gym. That’s probably the biggest deterrent for most folks. That and the cheesecake! But how great would it be to have your own personal gym just down the hall from your bedroom? You might not feel so guilty about that cheesecake if you know the next morning you’ll be hitting your cardio hard. You can actually accomplish that rather easily if you have the room and the motivation.
