Roofer put on a new roof and charged me $12,500, however when I had the roof checked a week afterwards, I found he put a new roof over old rotten boards and the moisture bumps were starting to show- he was to replace some of the boards as stated in the contract.

He pointed out the condition of the underlying walls, floors etc and what should be done to each area prior to tiling and flooring, which is extremely important when rehabbing an area that is subject to moisture.

The reason for this is because there is nothing to anchor the piers below the active depth of soil moisture content changes.

The testing was done with a handheld x-ray machine and will penetrate several millimeters of paint.

We looked at many SFHs listed way below neighborhood averages, but quickly found that here in MD, they apparently build homes on underground springs, and most of the ones that looked like great deals actually have drainage pumps in the yards and moisture damage/mold from flooding and no real way to fix the problem, you'd just be buying an eternal headache.

A non-vented model introduces moisture into the air during operation (byproduct of burning natural gas = CO2 and water).

Also remember that mold will grow on anything that can retain moisture.

It is affordable and low maintenance, is water penetrable and good for pets.Besides you can easily remove it in future if you need to.

.- The basement area will be fogged with Benefect to drop any contamination from the ambient air, so as to help reduce any risk of cross-contamination, and to provide penetration into any less accessible areas that may not have received treatment to this point.- All basement surfaces, having been treated with Benefect, will be allowed to dry over-night.- After the basement surfaces are checked for dryness, all unfinished interior basement surfaces will be treated with Fiberlock, IAQ 6100, as a mold inhibitor, to allow for a ten year warranty (see notes and warranty for warranty requirements).

Instead of pulling heat out of attic, you'll be removing moisture from under house.
