Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast

Chad Deschenes is a building inspector who is usually called in when issues like air quality, mold, and moisture have gotten out of control. Chad is here to blow the whistle on some of the standard tiny house building methods, and share some common problems he sees in buildings, large and small. Plus, Chad will share the one system that EVERY tiny house must have. Chad has kindly shared lots of photos to go along with this interview, and you can find them on the show notes page at thetinyhouse.net/152
In This Episode:

• Every home, even brand new construction, should have an inspection
• Symptoms of a mold issue and the lasting effects
• The one system you must have in your home (tiny or not)
• Workmanship matters: this is where people consistently get it wrong
• SIPs, insulation, vapor barriers, and your roof
• How to detect mold in your house and is it fixable?
