I am looking to buy a house in Westerville, Ohio (Near Columbus). Since I just retired at 61, I am looking for a single story home without a basement (Built in 1970 or later. I have seen a fair number of homes of this type in the area I'm looking. I am curious if most of these single story basementless homes are likely to have a slab foundation in Ohio? I got one response on another forum which said not likely due to the frost. If homes are built on a slab, where is the HVAC ducts and plumbing likely to be run? Do people who own such homes worry about ducting or piping breaking which would require an expensive repair? Or don't problems usually occur that often ? Thanks. Tim
