Hi Brian,Not an appraiser but generally they are looking at heated and cooled livable space.

The heating system was turned off during construction and over a couple of weeks the system cooled down, the fittings loosened in the slab and the water drained out and pressurized the slab.

When I was in financial holes I downgraded not only my plan, but my phone, then returned to what I liked once things cooled off.
