Questions

Roof Repair Assistance for Low Income HomeownersI am looking for help with home repairs. My ceiling is falling in and I don't have the money to get my roof repaired. I live on a fixed income. Can you please suggest how to get help?

Fix for Air Duct CondensationI just moved into a manufactured home, a double wide that is 28 years old. I just replaced the A/C in it and have noticed just a couple of times already that there's moisture coming from the air vents that are closet to the A/C unit. I live in Florida where it is very humid in the summer.

Breaker for Water Heater Not WorkingI turned the breaker to my water heater off and when I turned it back on my water heater wasn't working. As it is a very old water heater I thought it had gone out, so I replaced it with a new one. It is still not working. The plumber installed it correctly, we filled it, and turned the breaker on, nothing.
