I just peeked into the air supply duct in the house that I'm renting. It looks disgusting. There is at least an inch thick of dust and then beyond the dust is fiberglass that is peeling off. I checked out the whole duct system and it is in bad shape. Winter hasn't begun, but when I start cranking the heat, I'm afraid that all that dust and fiberglass is going to end up in my family's lungs. Is my landlord obligated to correct this. I looked at local codes and it just says that the HVAC system must operate, which it does.
thanks

my well water smells and tastes really bad. Also, when I run water in the tub, it looks "dirty". Looking for best fix for this that's easy to maintain since I'm a widow and have to do all this myself. Thanks!

Just moved into a new rental and the house has suspected asbestos tile. The landlord offered to put carpet over the tile, but hasn't offered to test the asbestos. Also, this tile is chipped all over the place and coming/breaking up in many spots. Can you simply put carpet over broken up asbestos tile? It seems like fibers can make their way through the carpet, especially if you use a vacuum.

thanks

This is probably a daft question as the answer probable already exists but can I just clarify.

The solution to radiators working upstairs and not downstairs (assuming the pump is working) seems to indicate that I need to turn of all the warm radiators and leave 1 cold one open to force the water to it and maybe remove the airlock.

My question is to turn off the upstairs radiators do i turn off both valves/taps or just the one with the thermostatic controler on it.

Sorry to be an idiot.

Recently our shower briefly got backed up and water leaked through the shower wall (which is not sealed properly), and came out on the other sides of the wall into adjoining rooms/closets. We dried out the carpet with towels and by airing out the rooms, but I'm worried about mold inside the wall.

I'm wondering whether I should be worried about damage to my house. Is there a way to check for mold without tearing out the walls? Do you think this type of damage would cause a mold problem?

Well suplied...40 ft. well...15 ft. from house...3/4 copper feed ...pressure tank...copper plumbing in 1story house...40 psi now but would like to boost another 20. Any simple build it yourself ideas? Pump system is a simple on -off wired direct to pressure switch. The pressure is as high as it will go against the head of what this pump will put out. There is no box with an adjustment at the pump.

My aunt has a 6 inch PVC drain pipe that has a small leak. She says it only leaks after washing 3-4 loads of wash. Is there anyway to stop the leak or does the pipe need to be cut and replaced/refitted?

My central heat just bit the dust. I am interested in heating my home with wood or corn. I live in a rural community and both of these would be easy to get. I am wanting to use my existing duct work. I would prefer an outdoor unit. How do these work? Do they kick on and off with a thermostat? How hard are they to install? What are some of the best brands. Thanks in advance.
