Maintenance & Repairs - February 2007

The house is new construction with plenty of insulation in the attic. The first floor is always comfortable but the second floor is cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Furnace/blower has been checked for proper output and is fine. AC is fine too.

We hope to put in a home cinema room downstairs, but after clearing out the room, we've just seen how much damp is down there. The floor has patches in it and it crawls up some of the walls.
We have a window but it must be 80+ years old and therefore won't open.
We have a fan just to move the air round to stop it going damp, but we need to get rid of the damp. We will be getting a new window down there, but how do we get rid of the damp?

If rock salt is recommended to prevent tree root growth in a sewer line, is there any concern about damage to the clay pipe from the salt?

My system does not have a header tank its a manual fill, you have to turn on a tap to get the system to maintain its pressure. This is not a problem but two cold radiators are see previous question. How can I put Fernnox or whatever its called into a system that doesnt have a header tap. I live in a flat.

I have two radiators in my system that fail to get hot, one gets luke warm the other stays cold. I have bled them so there is no air in the system. If I undo the pipes water flows through. The rads then get warm but go cold afterwards any suggestions. Pressure in system is fine. Im fed up of being cold in my bedroom.

I have dark hardwood floors, they looked varnished over.. so I can mop them rather well. I moved a piece of furniture and realized my dog had peed there and there was a big dark stain that I can't get out now.

Im curious how can I remove this stain.. there isnt a smell but the dark spot is obvious if you were looking in that direction.

Please help, I don't want to lose my deposit.. anything I can do make it less noticeable if I can't remove it completely?

Serious question... save the jokes for the Comedy Store!

My furnance just quit working. I turned the switch off on it, but left the gas on. Is this safe to do? It was making a lot of noise but it wasn't doing any thing else. Thats why I turned the switch off.

We have a house water filter so this rust is from the pipe that provides water to the second floor bathroom.

We moved in two years ago and our inspector tested for asbestos - and found none. But the previous owners had broken up some of the asbestos tile when they installed french drains in the basement. There are no loose parts now and we'd like to cover it with wall to wall carpeting to create a rec room (we have an 18 month old). But now we have two problems - I didn't realize these were asbestos, so now I'm worried about our health AND no one will install carpet over the broken tile! What do I do??

A telescoping device will not work because the pot lights are not compatible with a suction device. Are their any recommended scaffolding or ladders?

We have a rather bad mold problem and live in a humid area of the country. Our windows are always covered in moisture unless the sun comes out and dries them off. We get mold in the corners of the ceiling adjancent to the outside. Would a dehumidifier help fix this? How much does one cost?
