I'm considering buying an 1800 square foot house, single level, on a concrete block foundation. The concrete blocks surround the perimeter of the exterior walls. There's a crawl space underneath. I peeked in there and there are wooden cross beams supporting the floor, but I didn't see any center...

My old AO Smith hot water heater is leaking and corroded. There is a pipe that goes through the wall, which I assume attaches to a drain somewhere, although I can't see what it connects to on the other side. This pipe is attached to the pressure relief valve. How do I undo this? I'm thinkin I...

I have a 20 year old ac / heat pump. I’m in the Phoenix area. The unit is located outside the master bedroom and is extremely loud when it cycles on, to the point of disrupting sleep unless ear plugs are worn. It cools well but can use up to $15 of electricity a day in the heart of summer...

Does anyone know how this might have happened? I'm in Colorado in the Denver area and wouldn't have thought an animal could have done this. My house was built in 1960. This hole is under my back patio (a concrete slab) right against the house. I have had issues with pooling water but this is...

I accidentally left my front sprinklers running all night which resulted in the window well to the basement filling up with water. The water then leaked through the window and soaked part of the carpet. I put a fan on it and it's pretty much dry now after 2 days, but now there are brown spots...
