I recently had a dry-basement waterproofing system put in a couple months ago and have had no problems. With the recent hurricane that hit the east coast last week (I am in PA) it put me to thinking...

With what was said (smount of sunlight, etc) which brand(s) would you consider? TimberTech? Veranda? Azek? Just to name a few.

Yes, I agree that the amount of sunlight should be considered as far as fading BUT, my original post was about rotting issues and the overall quality of which manufacturere to go with. Trex has been...

Trex is suppose to have a warranty against any staining, etc. I would contact them or call the lumber yard you got the materials from.

Hello, I am trying to get information as far as the difference between composite decking. I live in a townhome and the deck will be small (approx. 7x14). I have been told there are many differences...

"Now the electrician has returned and changed the cable to the GFCI receptacle in the basement from a 14 AWG to a 12 AWG cable (which is correct for a 20 amp circuit), removed the potential fire...

Yes, he is licensed. At this point, the new GFI in the basement is OK. My concern is that the outlets near my kitchen coutertop are now not working. According to the electrician, the 20amp breaker...

Here is the lowdown. The electrician the waterproofers had come in replaced a GFI outside of the panel and used 12 gage (yellow) wire to hook it up to an existing 20amp circuit that is also being...

I do not have the capability to add a photo but the name is either "LINSCO" or "ZINSCO".. It is hard to read. I also do not see a main to the box at all. Looks like it is old and the only way to...

The new GFI he put in shows it is working (the green light on in the corner) but nothing is plugged into it.
I'm located in Southeastern PA. I will make sure he removed it tomorrow when he gets...

This is exactly correct. The only problem now is that the electrician is saying that my panel is so old that the replacement breakers are discontinued and therefore, I need an upgrade which is...

I think I am getting confused here. There was a double 15amp breaker (2 within one removable unit) that blew. Only one of the 2 was being used and was directly wired to a GFI that was mounted...

Potential fire hazard? Now I am scared to death. The electrician that did that is coming over tomorrow to drop off the burnt breaker he took to see if he could order one. Since he told me they are...

It was a GFI outlet that was directly connected to a 15amp. The GFI is located right outside the panel box in the basement. The breaker was tripped and when looking inside the breaker when he...

I recently had a waterproofing crew in my basement and they blew-out a double 15amp breaker. They got an electrician out here and he pilled the double 15 out to see if he can get another one from a...

I just found out that a neighbor 2 doors down did nemtion something about this to the property management company before winter and was told it would be looked into once the weather breaks. Upon...

Yes, the community is governed by a HOA. We have 3-4 board members and then the land management company that takes care of the finances. I believe the foundation is common property. Roofs, siding...

Everyone here in the community have sump pumps and basement systems to take care of the water issues. The few that do not, deal with the water and mold. We have contacted the management company...

Yes, all basement water problems are from the exterior and unfortunately, I do not own the property. I live in a townhome community and therefore, the issue has to be tackled by means of an interior...

I have had one dry basement company come into my home and give me an estimate (french drain w/ sump pump). I live in the Northeastern part of the U.S. and now is the wet season. It just hit me that...

Caps lock is stuck on computer, sorry. Leaning towards concrete. Half the price of pavers and less maintenance. Thanks.

i have heard many differences between paver patio's and cement. The obvious include with cement, it can crack over time and also sink and expand with the changing tempuratures. When that happens,...

Yes, we had a special assessment for our roofs a couple years ago.

Also, how does one go by getting the covenants or reviewing them?

I am a member of a hoa and according to their by-laws, the homwowner is responsible for all upkeep and care of property 30ft. Beyond the unit except for lawncare/landscaping.

Doing exterior excavating is not feasible, for i live in a townhome and do not own the property outright. I am making sure that the company that comes in to remediate the problems has a warranty. ...

I am sorry about caps lock but yes, it is stuck.. older computer. I am getting estimates not only for the patio but also for the basement. I will be having a mold/mildew specialist come in and...

i live in the northeastern part of the country which is prone to drastic temperature changes. This allows any concrete patio's, walkways, etc. to move constantly with the change in temperatures and...

This home was built in the early 70's if that helps with what type of wiring was used.

I have an electrical outlet in my bedroom that works with the light switch. It works but i have not needed to use it until recently. I went and plugged in my lamp and when switched on, i saw this...

I recently had a brand new Bryant oil-furnace installed in September. I was downstairs doing laundry when I looked up and just glanced at the Damper. I noticed that it was off of it's hinge on the...

I live in a townhome community with the homes being built in 1970's. The builder never sealed the basements nor installed sump pumps so water in the basements and mold are a constant issue here.
...

I was curious as to if anyone can tell me anything about the above product(s).

Reason being is because I had no choice in which new high-efficiency furnace would be installed. I have a home...

Well, I can honestly say that it is a bittersweet ending to all this drama. After 3 different heating companies sending out 4 different servicemen AND it took 4 days, finally found 2 cracks in the...

Yes, the supervisor of my regular heating co. came out to verify that his serviceman was correct in red tagging my unit. The computer reading came out as follows:

WITH FAN OFF: ...

Well, I am totally disgisted with what is going on here and please be patient with me as I explain;

My regualr serviceman red tagged my furnace and this was done w/o any diagnostic tests done. I...

Thank you, for the only alternative if for some reason the warranty co. gives me problems or their service contractor is to show them the written report from MY serviceman (who was the one who red...

Simple question:

Once a home heating system (oil forced air) is RED TAGGED and disabled by a licensed HVAC serviceman (cracked heat exchanger & heater is 30+ yrs. Old) can it be put back into...

The furnace is a covered part under the heating system in my contract. It is covered if it becomes inoperative due to normal wear and tear and if it is properly maintained throughout the term of the...

Today, I had my regular heating oil company come out and do the yearly cleaning and maintenance on my oil furnace. My oil furnace is a very old Rheem that has lasted 30 years. The service man told...
