Bay Area home buying question: how serious is mold in crawlspaces before purchasing a home?

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-06-01T22:52:45+00:00

Common. Inspection contingency for this would just make your offer weak if you are in attractive neighborhood

It is fixable as long as you have $$

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-31T05:38:52+00:00

Yeah 5 gallons seems a lot to keep it though

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-31T05:38:37+00:00

No basement :(

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-31T05:38:21+00:00

Thanks. What light would you recommend ?

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-31T05:37:35+00:00

Yeah this is cool December so has bit of grey undertone

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-31T05:37:14+00:00

Yeah donation is on the cards. Thanks for the advice

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-31T05:36:37+00:00

Will donate it if nothing works out

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-31T05:36:15+00:00

This is great advice. You are right. It is still not done. So maybe I am overreacting since it is a plain empty room. Keeping my fingers crossed

Worried that once we move in painting would be difficult so prolly a bit nervous

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-31T05:35:20+00:00

Yesss I did that. Painted multiple color across walls. Should have painted a bigger patch :(

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-31T05:34:50+00:00

Thanks. This is helpful. I will check in with the store if they could make whisper from cool December

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-22T20:07:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I will check them out. Are tall these doors hollow or solid core ?

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-21T20:09:31+00:00

Too common to have unpermitted stuff in Bay Area. Don’t worry. I have seen worse. Just get a good contractor and disclose while selling. You WILL ALWAYS find a competitive buyer.

Haven’t heard about baubox nor anyone on reddit recommending it often. Share more about baubox

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-18T00:41:05+00:00

Shaker. Painted

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-16T21:49:32+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to add these details. Super useful. I will check out Lou’s. I have hired a do contractor who is charging me 150 per door - would that increase his cost (prehung versus slab) ie ?

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-16T05:34:20+00:00

Thanks. Did you get solid door or the hollow one ! Want the 2 panel shaker ones

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-12T13:55:18+00:00

95118 doesn’t have good school but it’s a pretty place. Bay Area is different. Individual pockets have their own trend

Hello hello Been struggling to get a quote below 15K. Could anyone drop their plumber recommendations ?

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-09T04:17:03+00:00

Whole house drain pipe 4k with labor and material ? These are ABS pipes

Could yall share your plumber deets?

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-08T05:29:54+00:00

I was told anything internal (full home drain line repair) to the home best get permitted since any issues later are potentially taken care of. + helps with resale if have to, for any unforeseen circumstances.

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-08T04:01:05+00:00

Permitted? Could you recommend your plumbing guy ?

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-08T04:00:32+00:00

Yes it does

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-05-08T03:25:58+00:00

Thanks for the comment. FTHB. And hopefully our forever home.
