Save Us From Our House! is a Canadian reality series, which premiered on W Network in Canada in 2005. [1] The series was produced by General Purpose Pictures.

The program focused on families who were suffering interpersonal tensions due to their living spaces. A licensed psychotherapist (Hina Khan) counseled the family through their relationship difficulties, while a construction contractor (Scott Puddicombe in the first season, [2] Dylan Marcel for the remainder of the series) [3] remodeled the home into a more welcoming and family-oriented living space.

The series also aired on HGTV in the United States.

The program's theme song was an instrumental portion of Spirit of the West's 1990 single "Save This House".

Similar terms include dormmate, suitemate, housemate, or flatmate.

The term generally applies to people living together in rental properties rather than in properties in which any resident is an owner occupier. In the UK, the term "roommate" means a person living in the same bedroom, whereas in the United States and Canada, "roommate" and "housemate" are used interchangeably regardless whether a bedroom is shared, although it is common in US universities that having a roommate implies sharing a room together. This article uses the term "roommate" in the US sense of a person one shares a residence with who is not a relative or significant other.
