Shows A - Z : House Detective : Asbestos and Air Combustion : Home & Garden Television

Asbestos and Air Combustion
In California, a young couple finally gets a foothold in the competitive San Francisco real estate market. They have their hearts set on a two-bedroom, one-bath row house that's going for nearly half a million dollars. There are pesky plumbing problems and some serious water damage. Will the growing fix-it list deter them from buying their piece of the American dream? Our house detective helps them sort out the necessary repairs.

Then, meet a woman who moved back to the United States after living in Jordan for many years. Before her family joined her, she put a contract in on a nice suburban home she thinks they'll like. She does the home inspection alone, her family still thousands of miles away and never having seen the house. She's paid a pretty penny for good schools and a cozy neighborhood...but is the house of solid construction and worth the money she's offered to pay? She is in for a few big surprises in the basement--there are some serious safety concerns tucked away behind the freshly painted louver doors.
