I simply wanted to inform other BP members to a common, albeit important, misconception that permeates this site.

If moisture can permeate up into the flooring, then probably yes.

The smoke and heat permeates the entire home, then water damage leads to potential mold hiding anywhere.

It will permeate into everything you do...including REI. 

We now think the odors permeated into the slab.

Also, the tenting method uses a gas which permeates everything- books and papers, plastic, and much more!

I rehabbed a cat pee house,, the urine had permeated the grout, the sub floor was actually still damp with urine.. so we also had to rip that out.. tile, grout, sub floor..Excessive nail holes are tenants responsibility,, charge for repair.Good luck. 

I will try and post more so that I can take advantage of the expertise and networking that permeates through these pages.

These items will often become permeated with liquids or even just odors forcing their removal from the unit.

The principal differences being:the electric baseboards (EBB) are install and controlled on a room-by-room basis; andEBBs rely on convection to permeate heat into the room (there is no fan circulating the air)In theory EBBs should have similar operating costs to a centralized electric forced air furnace (if not lower), however, in practice, that is usually not the case.Because of their reliance on convection, EBBs have slow recovery - i.e. if there has been a draft (someone opening an external door or window) or if the heat has been set back during the day and was turned up on the occupants return.
