Around the house today
Nothing unusual in the forecast.
- A musty smell from the floor in summer often starts in the crawl space. Look under the house once a month.
- Water in the drain pan under the water heater is an early warning. Check it when you change the HVAC filter.
- Not sure how bad a leak is? The estimator shows the water category and the equipment a drying job usually needs.
