DIY NETWORK SURPRISES HOMEOWNERS NATIONWIDE DURING 'CRASH WEEK,' JULY 5-9, ANCHORED BY PREMIERE OF BRAND-NEW SERIES, "BATH CRASHERS"

Primetime Block Also Features New Episodes of Popular Shows "House Crashers" and "Yard Crashers"

Do-it-yourself enthusiasts are used to coming home with a few extra things from a visit to a home improvement store, but DIY Network takes it to the next level�surprising homeowners with their very own DIY expert! The popular Crashers franchise, where homeowners are ambushed at a home improvement store and given a renovation they NEVER saw coming, expands to include Bath Crashers, hosted by licensed contractor Matt Muenster. The newest installment joins Yard Crashers, hosted by licensed landscape contractor Ahmed Hassan (Turf War), and House Crashers, hosted by licensed contractor Josh Temple. Bath Crashers, where Munster hooks up with homeowners and then alters their dated, grimy bathrooms into throne rooms good enough for kings, will make its debut during DIY Network's first-ever Crash Week, July 5-July 8 in primetime.

DIY Network is on a mission to crash and trash homes, transforming them into stunning, functional and modern living spaces. No one is safe on the new Crashers series as Muenster, Temple and Hassan travel across the country visiting markets including Chicago, Boston, Tampa, Atlanta and Houston. Crash Week, July 5-July 8, spotlights all three series with two original episodes premiering back-to-back each night from 9 p.m.-11 p.m. ET.

Kicking off the programming block is season two of House Crashers at 9 p.m. ET. Host and licensed contractor Josh Temple (Disaster House) stalks a big-box home improvement store looking for unsuspecting weekend warriors and then follows them home with a large crew of experts in tow. Stunned homeowners who journeyed into the store to fix a simple leaky faucet, end up winning the remodeling lottery with dramatic, eye-popping room transformations.

Next up is the series premiere of Bath Crashers at 10 p.m. ET. Licensed contractor Matt Muenster ambushes homeowners at a local store and totally overhauls their bathroom in need of repair. At 11 p.m. ET, completing the trifecta, is season four of Yard Crashers. Expert Ahmed Hassan waits at stores looking for the perfect weekend warriors who could definitely use his help. Once he finds his target, Ahmed and his team follow the surprised shoppers to their homes and completely transform their yards.
