We had a tankless water heater put in. Ever since, we smell gas when a lot of hot water is used. Very strongly sometimes. We've had the gas co at the house twice and their meters have read 0 both times for gas or carbon mon in the house. How can we smell it so strongly and yet not have a leak?

I have used it for the last 30 years for just my central air conditioning hose drips into. Don't know how it got filled up, but after 30 years, I guess it would eventually fill up. Does any rainfall go there also? The dry well drain is in my cellar. Is there a way I can get the water out myself without hiring someone? If I hired someone, who do I hire to do a job like that?

On a home repair TV show, a man is talking about putting a tool or material under the door to hold it up while putting the door on its hinges. It sounds like he is saying "SHUMES." He also has a British accent, if that helps. What could this tool or material be? It looks like it's pieces wood?

I'm looking to replace my old furnace. Based on the quotes I received it would cost me approx. $800 more to install a 90% over an 80% efficient furnace. Is it worth it? I plan to live in the house 5-10 years.
Does the state of NJ still offer tax credits on energy star rated furnaces?

All of a sudden my central air conditioner stopped working and its been over a 100 degrees the last couple of days so needless to say I am having heat stroke. It was working fine the night before and now the fan will not turn. I flipped the breakers thinking maybe that would do the trick but nothing. I then took a ruler and turned the fan manually and it started turning but kept making a clicking noise and then would make a humming noise. At the same time there was no cold air coming out. The top plate above the motor got so hot you couldn't touch it. Then the fan just stopped again and I couldn't get it to turn anymore. Any ideas?

I have a weight room that was originally a full length back porch that was turned into a game room, and now a weight room where I lift weights and train for MMA. Its a long story about what happened, but the skinny of it is that the weight room has been flooded numerous times over the years because it is 6 inches lower than the house itself, and anytime the back porch flooded, the game room would flood. I have fixed the flooding problem by building a permenant trench that runs to the far corner of the back yard, its a covered trench, works wonderfully.

Anyways, as you could guess, over the years a serious amount of mold has built up because of the moisture. Now that I fixed that problem, how do I fix the mold problem. I cant even work out for the full amount of time needed because the mold makes me very light headed and nautious because I am allergic to it. Any advice on how I can fix this problem quickly?

Okay, my mom just go this BRAND new washer and drying, she's been saving up for them for about 6 months now. She was kind enough to let me use them, and DUMBY me, forgot to take the pen out my pants pocket, so now there is ink pen all over the inside of our dryer. I have tried using cleaner and scraping it with a tooth brush, but not even a LITTLE bit is coming off? What do I do! I really want to take care of it before she finds out, well basically so she NEVER finds out! Any suggestions guys?
