Time to Get Your Green Chile!

My favorite story for this week is the report by KOB TV about the HATCH Green Chile. If you are not familiar with the New Mexican tradition, this is the time of the year when you purchase and stack up your freezer with green chile for the rest of the year. Hatch produces some of the best Chile and as we know there is a shortage so go on out and buy yours. I'll see you at Chile Tradition...Montgomery and Wyoming.

Shopping for your new Albuquerque house is supposed to be fun! However, there are a few things about Albuquerque homes that you need to know to ensure that you purchase a home that will keep you happy for years to come.

A good Realtor not only knows about these issues, but educates their buyer clients about them even if it might mean losing an easy sale.

One issue that comes up over and over again in certain parts of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho involves deteriorating in-floor heat ducts, sometimes called sonotubing.

When you're looking at a house and you see that the air registers are in the floor, you should be concerned. A common problem with this type of heat duct is that the material the ducts are made of can deteriorate over time. When they deteriorate they can develop leaks or even worse they can collapse, blocking or restricting airflow to different rooms of the house.

If you are considering buying a home with ducts in the floor, you should have them inspected. Duct are inspected the same way they inspect sewer lines, with a camera on a cable or a scope. From inside the ducts they can see if there is rust at the joints, debris or sand in the tubes, or if there has been water damage.

If the ducts have any of these problems they can be repaired, but it can be quite costly. They repair the ducts by spraying the ducts from the inside with a sealant that I'm told is something like the stuff they spray on pickup truck bedliners. While it sounds like a great fix, it is not a permanent fix.

What causes the problems with these ducts? They are made up of a paper-like product that is susceptible to water damage. Sounds like a crazy idea that they actually built homes using this stuff, doesn't it? Well, evidently the ducts were supposed to be encased in concrete. The problem is the installation was faulty and the tubes aren't always encased like they should be.

Other times the problem is caused by builder neglect. Recently I heard of an entire subdivision where supposedly the builder didn't bother to even pour the conrete. In those houses the papery tubing is in contact with the soil underneath the slab.

Now I don't pretend to be an expert, so if you're concerned about this issue you should consult one. Contact me and I'll give you the name and number of someone who can inspect and explain the problems with in-floor duct work a lot better than I can.
