What do Bend homeowners ask most?
Do Oregon contractors need a CCB license?
Yes, nearly all construction contractors need a Construction Contractors Board license with bond and insurance.
When do Bend basements leak?
Mostly in spring when snow melts quickly over frozen or rocky ground.
Is radon a concern in Bend?
Central Oregon has areas with elevated radon; testing is recommended for basements and crawl-space homes.
Do Bend crawl spaces need vapor barriers?
Yes, a ground vapor barrier is standard and helps control moisture from melting snow and irrigation. Seal seams and overlap the barrier up the foundation walls, and check it after any plumbing or HVAC work, since torn or displaced sections let ground moisture straight into the crawl space.
