While you’ve got the floor up just sister the joists where they’re soft and

That’s what I did a few years ago in the kitchen when we had a similar issue. I
will have to put some cross supports in because the cut out area is joist to

The previous issue was from what appeared to me water intrusion from around a
window.
As I started pulling up more tile the rot just kept going. I figured out what
the cause was. The renters did not have their washing machine connected
properly and water was constantly leaking behind it. I susp
Get rid of the rental and use all the money you keep plowing into the rental

Does the warranty you bought cover only appliances, appliances plus
appliance leakage damage, or everything?

What we get for rent each month covers the mortgage, insurance, taxes etc. We
have a lot of equity in it which is why we want to do the 3 year plan then

Typically homeowners covers water damage. The usaa guy told me it is their
#1 claim. They even have water detectors you put under your floors that
connect to the wifi and alert you to problems; they came out and gave us a
bunch. File a claim and get it fixed.

Hmm, I didn't think about that. I may have to file a claim and see what
they say. We do have a big $2k deductible I believe which I am sure if
you were paying somebody to completely fix it all would exceed that.

If a rental property doesn’t make a decent profit above and beyond it’s
carrying costs or doesn’t appreciate well then it’s a pointless investment in
my opinion. I have one property that appreciates poorly. They all make a
profit. I’m trying to sell the one that’s appreciating poorly even though
Semi loud click sounds like the contactor (aka relay).

I guess I could pull off the cover and look. I replaced the contractor along

If neither the fan nor the compressor run, I wonder if you have 240v to
the unit,
Inside unit comes on but outside unit doesn’t. When it’s turned on you hear a
semi loud click. That sound was the contactor pulling in. Put in a service
request with the warranty people. They came out today. Fan was bad, ordering a
new one. I guess if the fan is bad it prevents the unit from kic
Make sure they replace it with a real fan and not a cheapo "rescue" motor.
I was away once and the fan motor went out (this is the condenser
cooling fan) and the guy came and put in a new one, was like $500, my
wife paid him. Fan goes out again less than a year later, I call the
guy, he comes
The fan not coming on won't stop the compressor from coming on.
If there's a high pressure switch, it'll hopefully stop the compressor
from getting fried.
Did it just happen?
Seems like the tenants would have been throwing a fit if the AC didn't
work when they were still there.
It was working fine a week or so ago when we were over there then the next day
would not turn on at all. Inside unit runs but outside unit does not.

They said they were ordering a new one from Trane. Hopefully that is what
happens. I’m still wondering if the fan quit working and it burned up the
compressor. You would think they would habe checked that because it’s not like
compressor kicks on then shuts off later if pressure gets too high. I
Might be the start capacitor? Very common and cheaper than a fan motor.

One might hope testing the caps would be the second thing they'd do, after
checking the contactor.

I was not sure a bad fan itself would lead to it not running at all. I’m still
suspecting the fan quit one night while it was running then the compressor blew
up. Maybe I will get a new unit out of it.
