Re: Concerns about finding a new apartment

[Guest guest]

ff, I'm no expert, but will offer my opinion, from my own experience

from my home. Next time you go back to look at that house, check all

along the foundation for any cracks or areas where water could pool or

seap into/under the slab & make sure all down spouts and any drainage

pipes are clear & not clogged & that spouts are designed to drain water

away from the house. Also, I have an office/4th bdrm above the garage

& that is one of my most problem areas (even though, there's no smell

in there), probably from parking wet/snow covered cars inside before

letting them dry off or could be leaking windows or both! Just words

of caution from what I've experienced, hope it helps you!

Good luck house/home hunting!

Thanks so much, Cheryl. That really helps. I think I'll reconsider.

Two of the bedrooms are over the garage. I'm looking at another place

at the moment, and I'll check the foundation. It's a townhouse and

it's paved all around the foundation. I don't know if that's better

or worse than soil. There's a very slight slope to the ground. I

guess that's a sign that run-off isn't all going to be going away from

the foundation. Every place we look seems to have a slight cause

for concern....

Thanks again. Wishing you good health,
