What kind of ventilation do you have? whirly bird, ridge cap vent, soffits, gable vents, etc.

We have had temps of between -20 & -30 Celsius for three weeks in a row, then warmed up quickly and was expecting leak in bathroom were we got it last year but nope it was fine and we got leak in kitchen ceiling in 2 different spots. 2 years ago I have ventilated it bette...

Thats the way the Holidays were meant to be! Sounds like a warm up to New Years celebrations!

Good investment is a roof rake to keep load off roof

Hi Butch had same problem last night. shoveled snow off roof and checked roof coating, no problem with roof. recoated all seams in October, so was not expecting roof problem, well I cut into ceiling and lo and behold it was melting ice off bottom of roof. let warm air get in there and sped up meltin...

Same problem with my door. I will be replacing it with regular insulated home door as Greg has suggested. Those old "wimpy" mobile home doors are pathetic, drafty and source of major heat loss.

You would have to get a heat tape that is approved for use on pex lines. Are the pex lines under your home or inside. I would only worry about heat taping where main water line is in ground till where it enters home. You can use foam or fiberglass wrap on exposed inside lines, it won't hurt. no such...

Hi Sherry! I haven't left my water running in the 4 years I lived here and have had no freeze-ups thus far. I live in Northern British Columbia, Canada a couple hundred miles from Alaska border and it gets really cold here in winter. at the moment we are at -33 Celsius with the wind chill. It has be...

If you want to close yours vents then close them when it reaches freezing and open them at the end of winter when temps reach above freezing. frozen air wont carry moisture but temps above freezing will. vents are needed to get moisture out of your crawl space. I use floor heat registers for my outs...

My opinion would be to keep the gas heat going as you need heat under the home to keep the pipes from freezing. I use electric heaters for zone heating the living room and bedrooms while having the gas at a lower temp setting. some people swear by the electric oil heaters but I find the heaters that...

Had a leak that destroyed frame, insulation and sheathing above window in addition. Traced leak to roof and the entire addition roof was rotted. Traced leak to roofing screws. Funny enough all the flashing seams were sealed tightly and in excellent shape as I had sealed with liquid rubber 3 years ag...

Man I sure am glad my floor insulation is spray foamed insulation as well as walls and ceiling. I can only imagine what a task that would be laying on the ground on your back all day. not a fun job. hang in there and the best of luck. troyster
