		<description><![CDATA[What to do if your basement floods? 

Call your city. City staff will inspect the problem, assess the flooding and attempt to determine the source(s) of flooding. If the problem lies with the City’s infrastructure, the City will schedule the necessary repair or include it in the budget. If the flooding is a result of a blocked sewer lateral or drain pipe, leaking foundation walls or poor lot drainage, or a failure of the sump pump, the property owner is responsible for repairs and any subsequent damage caused by flooding. Regardless of who is at fault, City staff will advise you of a possible course of action to take. <a href="http://domicileconsulting.com/dealing-with-a-flooded-basement">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><a href="http://domicileconsulting.com/dealing-with-a-flooded-basement" class="more-link">Continue Reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

Some common moisture-related problems include:

high indoor humidity and resulting condensation;
expansive soil, which may crack the foundation through changes in volume, or softened soil, which may lose its ability to support an overlying structure;

		<description><![CDATA[A home energy audit is often the first step in making your home more efficient. An audit can help you assess how much energy your home uses and evaluate what measures you can take to improve efficiency. 

If you are interested in getting specific recommendations for improving the efficiency of your home, consider contacting a professional Home Energy Auditor. A professional auditor can use a variety of techniques and equipment to determine the energy efficiency of your home. Thorough audits often use equipment such as blower doors, which measure the extent of leaks in the building envelope, and infrared cameras, which reveal hard-to-detect areas of air infiltration and missing insulation. <a href="http://domicileconsulting.com/home-energy-audits-2">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><a href="http://domicileconsulting.com/home-energy-audits-2" class="more-link">Continue Reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Normal bathroom activities such as showering, bathing, etc. can significantly raise your indoor humidity levels. In fact, studies have shown that the typical family of four converts three gallons of water into water vapor every day, and it only requires four to six pints of water to raise the indoor relatively humidity of a 1,000 square foot home from 40 to 60 percent. In turn, this excess moisture is a complex problem that can cause a number of undesirable conditions such as the following: <a href="http://domicileconsulting.com/the-value-of-bathroom-vent-fans">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><a href="http://domicileconsulting.com/the-value-of-bathroom-vent-fans" class="more-link">Continue Reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New construction – Builders often will not allow an “inspection contingency”. Once you sign a contract to buy the home that they are building, you are usually locked-in to the purchase, except for some instances when you cannot obtain financing. Such contracts are definitely slanted in favor of the builder, but the logic here is pretty easy to understand. Builders will offer limited warranties on their homes and any issues that surface during an inspection will likely be covered by such a warranty. They don’t need to allow a contingency, since they will be obligated to fix the issues anyway. Builders also allow you to do a punch list of final items during their walkthrough, giving the buyer an opportunity to have minor cosmetic issues resolved. Therefore, it is recommended that you use a independent trained Home Inspector to inspect your newly constructed home prior <a href="http://domicileconsulting.com/new-construction-short-sales-and-bank-owned-home-inspections">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><a href="http://domicileconsulting.com/new-construction-short-sales-and-bank-owned-home-inspections" class="more-link">Continue Reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>
