The Roof! The Roof! The Roof is All Moldy!

By Home with Dean Sharp

May 9, 2026

Our caller at the top of Hour 2 has a low-pitched rock roof on her 1950s-built house that has never been replaced or redone, and now they’ve found mold up there! How serious could it be and what's the treatment to repair it? 

Next up, a listener needs to know if she can place epoxy or acrylic over a heating element for a radiant-heat floor. 

Morris has an old house built in 1951 that suddenly has plumbing issues, particularly a leaky kitchen faucet. Apparently, the anchor valve is frozen, so how would he go about fixing all these issues? 

If the final caller were to install carpet as a stair runner, does it have to have a finished edge, and does it have to be a certain kind of tack board?
