Your electrical panel can burn down your house. Hidden problems in electrical panels can burn down homes. Most basements have negative pressure caused by cold air returns are not sealed with furnace tape. These return ducts with small holes suck your basement, especially, if the door leading to the basement is closed. These depressurized basements suck, air from wall cracks, appliance vents, fireplaces, sump pumps, and electrical panels which is the focal point of this Marko Vovk video. Basement foundation walls are colder because they are underground and the unconditioned sucked in warm – moist air condensates within the cold electrical panel causing rust. Rusted panels can cause fires. Many electricians misdiagnose rusted or corrode panels as water leaking in or dripping in. Repairing these problems is simple. Seal the basement cold air returns, open several basement supply heat registers to help slightly pressurize basement, change the door to the basement to a louvered door and remove the rust form electrical panel.

Vacant House

Facebook Share Twitter Share Google+ Share

Vacant House Once upon time, a nice family owned a big house in the country. The mom and dad were so busy raising their kids that they did not have time or money leftover to maintain and fix the big house. After the kids were gone, the mansion was too big and needed too much work, so they sold the home to a young couple and moved into a small assisted living condominium. The real estate agent told this young couple that all this home needed was a little bit of tender loving care. The young couple soon found out that love does not fix plumbing or basement leaks and the young couple soon ran out of money. The bank repossessed the home and turned off the utilities. Several years later, an investor that went to a “No money down seminar” bought the house from the bank and started to rehabilitate it. He put in many new Pella windows and started repairing the home. After a coupled of months, he needed more money. He went back to the bank for more money and the bank Nazi said “No More Money for you”. He went to five more banks and none all would give him money because the banks no longer lend out risky money to investors. The house stood empty for the next 7 years. The woodpeckers pecked, the birds chirp and mice reproduced. They one day a Chicago law firm started up a Class Action Lawsuit against Pella windows because Pella Proline Windows were rotting all over the country. The investor signed up and now is waiting to collect his pennies on a dollar. The End.
Ok, so I made up this entire story. I have no clue what happened at this house. Thank you this has been short stories by Marko Vovk from http://

Hot Tub Jacuzzi problem problems. Hello, this is Marko Vovk from <a href="http://
www.houseinvetigaions.com.” >www.houseinvetigaions.com.
The biggest kept secret in glammer bathrooms is the floatable black particulate scum that comes out of the Jacuzzi tub jests when they are turned on. This nasty condition probably exists with 75 % of all the Jacuzzi or whirl pool tub.. When you drain the Jacuzzi or whirlpool tub, some water usually gets trapped inside the plumbing jets. This trapped water is dirty with body skin, hair, mucus, saliva, body sweat, and much more. These containments are actually nutrients for the Jacuzzi Snots and Jacuzzi Boogers to thrive, grow and amplify inside the jet plumbing pipes. Then you fill up the tub up with nice warm clean water, light a few scented candles and get in. That’s when you turn on the jets and the black stuff comes. This black nasty scum, gets all over your body. You instantly jump out of the tube and make a world record dash for the shower. You never use the Jacuzzi tub again. Well their you have it, the glamour bathroom Jacuzzi tube exposed. Thank you this is Marko Vovk from <a href="http://

Four Little Ants

If your home has leaks, wet areas, or high indoor humidity, carpenter ants can thrive. If you see carpenter ants in your home soon after the winter snowmelts, you may have a carpenter ant colony. Go to the basement and look at joists under the entrance doors, windows, or porches. Many times these areas have small leaks. You may have to pull back the insulation to look. If you find a small pile of sawdust, look at it carefully. If you see black, shinny specs mixed in with sawdust, carpenter ants are nearby. The main carpenter ant colony, which usually is in a tree or buried tree stump, can have many small satellite colonies of which several can be in your home. If you see flying insects with curved bodies that have two different sized wings, and two curved antenna, you have carpenter ant reproductive trying to find a new moist area in your home to start a new satellite colony. If you see many small translucent wings that are two different sizes in window wells, sills, or floors, in your house may be whispering to you and it is time to call the bug man.
