Drafty Windows | Standby Generators | Hiring a Home Improvement Professional | Ep #2255
SHOW NOTES:
Drafty Windows: When cold weather sets in, you’ll want to find and seal up any drafts in your windows. Here’s what to do.
Standby Generators: If your home loses power, having a reliable standby generator can be crucial. We’ve got recommendations.
Hiring a Home Improvement Professional: Not all home projects can be done by DIY-ers. We’ve got info on hiring the right professional for the job.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Damp Basement: Holly’s basement floor is cracked and changes color after it rains because it’s absorbing moisture from around the perimeter of her home. We’ll explain how to improve the drainage and keep things dry.
Insulation: What is the difference between closed-cell and open-cell foam insulation? Michael learns about comparing the total R values, which one is best for moist areas, and the need for correct installation.
Musty Odors: That persistent musty smell means Sandy has excessive moisture and humidity in her basement. We’ll discuss gutters, downspouts, grading, sealing the walls, and using the right size dehumidifier.
Air Conditioner Vents: Condensation on the AC vents keeps dripping and staining the ceiling in Stanley’s Florida home. Because it’s so humid, he needs to insulate the air conditioning ducts
Marble Surface: Gary removed the stain from his marble table and now wants to seal the surface. There are products he can use to seal and polish the glaze.
Light Switches: The light switches in Ken’s home need to be in a certain position to control two locations. It seems like he has a three-way switch that wasn’t wired correctly.
Water Quality: Colleen’s well water is high in sodium and calcium and her water softener needs to be replaced. We suggest a salt-based water conditioner for her home.
Do you have a home improvement or decor question? Call the show 24/7 at 888-MONEY-PIT (888-666-3974) or post your question here.
