Software for plumbers: the call, the truck and the payment.
A plumbing shop lives on the same-day call. The tool has to take the booking, put the right truck on it, tell the Homeowner it is coming, and get paid at the door. HomeMaxx Pro does that and adds the two things nobody else has: the Homeowner request from a consumer brand, and a score on the customer before you go.

- Humidity, mold and the musty basement
Mold does not need a leak. It needs air over 60 percent humidity and a cool surface, and every basement in summer has both. What the number should be, how to get it there and when a musty smell is a bigger problem.
- The summer checklist: keeping the house cool, dry and standing
Summer is hard on a house in quieter ways than winter: heat in the attic, water in the basement air, sun on the paint, and the storms. What to do in June so August is uneventful.
