In Part 2 of About Your House Radio, Ray Terry continues the conversation with environmental and inspection experts to break down some of the most overlooked — and potentially costly — issues homeowners face.

This episode dives deep into indoor air quality, mold, asbestos, and moisture-related problems, giving listeners practical insight into how these issues develop and how to properly address them.

The discussion highlights how older homes can contain hidden materials like asbestos insulation, why disturbing it can create serious (and expensive) problems, and how modern regulations have changed the way these situations must be handled today.

The conversation also explores:

• The risks of asbestos in older homes and renovation projects • Mold growth, humidity control, and HVAC system sizing mistakes • Why turning off your AC in the summer can lead to mold issues • Flood damage, drywall “flood cuts,” and moisture timelines • Crawlspaces, insulation, and hidden air quality problems • The importance of proper inspections before remediation • Why many homeowners overspend on unnecessary mold treatments

Listeners will also hear real-world stories that illustrate how small mistakes — like disturbing insulation or improper HVAC sizing — can turn into major expenses.

Ray also highlights the ongoing mission of Put Tools in Schools, connecting students with hands-on career opportunities in the trades, and shares upcoming community initiatives and training programs.

If you’re a homeowner, buyer, or contractor, this episode is packed with practical knowledge that can help you avoid costly mistakes and better understand what’s happening behind your walls.
