Disaster House

We create a homemade hurricane to show you how to prevent your most expensive investment from unhinging itself from its foundation and what your homeowners insurance will cover.

Fire and ice - both have the potential to create major disasters. We'll show you the silent disaster that awaits and how a few bucks can save you thousands.

Fires of all kind threaten every home but are you prepared? We get a real fire-breathing dragon to torch our own disaster house and show some simple pro-active steps to prevent your home from turning into a pile of ash.

What would you do if a flood hit your house? Grab your life vest because we'll simulate one - and show you how to prepare and repair a 10,000-gallon flash flood through a family room.

How much damage can pets really do to your house? Plus, we put pedal to the metal and simulate the damage a car can do to a garage.

Fires that are caused by lint in a hot dryer happen in thousands of homes every year. And old chimneys with crumbling mortar are a huge fire hazard.

And if you think your yard needs a facelift, we up the ante by letting a monster truck rip around the sod and garden, leaving a path of destruction for us to fix.

Many things can damage the outside of a house - car doors, lawnmowers, grills, even landscaping. We'll take it to the next level and slam these things into the side of the house.

Did you know that every American household is susceptible to hail damage? We're swinging a real Huey helicopter through the neighborhood, dumping golf balls onto our roof just to show you the simple fix.

We'll show how to remove both common and severe mold outbreaks, as well as what you can do to prevent either from happening in the first place.

Energy loss is a silent disaster - it drains your wallet faster than you can say "Shut that door!" We'll show you how much energy a typical home loses and provide solutions on how to improve the efficiency of your house.

Gas explosions are catastrophic but before we blow up a house to show you the potential danger, we'll show you how your home's gas system works along with gas detection tips that can keep your family safe.

We'll show you the correct way to exterminate termites, how to fix damaged parts of the house and demonstrate the best way to prevent termites in the first place.
