Well, the weather has turned cold. It 10 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: was nice for about a few days this past week. 11 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: In fact, it was very enjoyable, but turning cold once 12 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: again through much of the US. And that plumbing system 13 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: really can take a beating when it gets cold. If 14 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: you've ever experienced frozen or burst pipes, well that's something 15 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: you want to well, you want to prepare for.

We had a milestone anniversary. 28 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: My wife and I had all the kids in, grandkids in. 29 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: It's a lovely time. And also this marks the start 30 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: of my fortieth year doing the show, which is extremely 31 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: hard to believe. It's sad. It's sad and good all 32 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: at the same time. I say, it's good, nothing sad 33 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, yeah, Well so we've been doing it 34 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: for a long time and certainly continue to do it 35 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: and continue to enjoy doing it. So again, love to 36 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: talk to you about what's going on your home during 37 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: the holiday. Like everybody, I ran into my fair share 38 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: of chores. I was just thinking this was like a 39 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: mister fix it holiday. This year. We had a lot 40 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: of things. We had problems with a lot of things. 41 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: Maybe you experienced the same thing. We placed a couple 42 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: electrical switches, the dryer vent got clogged, to clothes weren't drying. 43 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: A toy it's seat downstairs cracked in half. A ball 44 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: cock upstairs with the valve of the toilet went on 45 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: the haywire. Had to get that replaced. The water softener 46 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: wasn't flushing or regenerating as the word. Had to figure 47 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: out how to regenerate manually regenerate a water softener. Found 48 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: out a lot of times water softeners won't regenerate if 49 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: the ear is less than a third of a tube 50 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: of salt. Never knew that. But information is bountiful these days, 51 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: and it's a it's a lot of times it takes 52 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: a little time and a little patience. Even if you're 53 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: not real familiar with something, it can be solvable, and 54 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: hopefully we can help you with a thing or two 55 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: and chat about it and get you back to being 56 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: in a position where something in every room of the 57 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: house isn't broken. Because this holiday it's like, that's exactly 58 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: what was going on with us. So I'll give you 59 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: the phone number again. It's eight hundred and eight two 60 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: three eight two five five. One of the things. We're 61 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: gonna chat about it, and we do it in the 62 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: month of January almost every year, and it's well well 63 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: worth the chat. We'll have our expert Andre Lacroix in 64 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: and he's gonna talk about into our air quality, and 65 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you think about the quality 66 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: air in your home? Do you think it's good? Have 67 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: you ever had a testing? Do you go down in 68 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: the basement and it smells like an old basement? I 69 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: think that's really where you can really tell where your 70 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: air quality is. Or have you ever walked in somebody's 71 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: home and it just it's not like an odor, Well, 72 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: it is an odor because it smells bad. It smells stuffy, 73 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't smell fresh, or it smells like bleach. That's 74 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: all bad air quality. And sometimes you can't even smell 75 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: bad air quality, like right on, that's a bad air quality, right, 76 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: that's a gas. It's been linked to a lot of issues, 77 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: human issues, health issues. So maybe we don't know where 78 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: our air quality is. But the EPA has come out 79 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: probably for the last fifteen to twenty years, as long 80 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: as I've been really riding that horse, and they're saying 81 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: the indoor air quality is actually five times worse than 82 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: the outdoor air quality. We focused beck as far back 83 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: as the late seventies, I guess late seventies. There's a 84 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: lot of big changes going on. That's when we got 85 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: into all the insulation in our homes, all the ventilation 86 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: in our homes, outdoor air quality. We were really focused on. 87 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: A lot of things were changing. Solvents were being shift 88 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: over to water based products I think of varnishes and eurothanes. 89 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: But the indoor air quality has actually gotten worse than 90 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: the outdoor air quality has gotten better. And the reason 91 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: of that is just our building standards nowadays have been 92 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: focused on saving energy. In fact, that's what we preach 93 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: almost every weekend, just tightening up our home because of 94 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: the cost of energy. I mean, I've had people tell 95 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: me their energy bill went up a third. I would 96 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: say ours went up maybe fifteen percent. But as we 97 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: tighten up our homes to save or steady those increases 98 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: in the energy, we don't have as much air exchanging 99 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: from the outside to the inside of the house, and 100 00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: we have products that off gas chemicals. Maybe you're still 101 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: cleaning with a lot of bleach that's not really necessarily 102 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: safe when it can't ventilate. We have problems with humidity 103 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: in our homes because it's so tight, not good airflow, 104 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: and that produces mold and mildew and breathing those spores 105 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: that becomes problematic. So that's what we're going to do. 106 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: In about forty five minutes. Andre Lacroix is going to 107 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: be our guest. He is a very very qualified air 108 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: quality expert. He sits on many boards and we will 109 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: have the ability or you will have the ability to 110 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: ask him a question. So we'll do it for an 111 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: hour today. So I'm looking forward to that, And if 112 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: you're around, feel free too if you have a question 113 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: to ask on All right again, our number is eight 114 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: hundred eight two three eight two five five. Happy to 115 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: take your call and let's go. Let Ann kick us 116 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: off today. 117 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: Hello Ann, Hi Gary, Hello morning. 118 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: How are you doing fine? Thanks? 119 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: I have a question. I have a vacation home in Tennessee, 120 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: and when we got down here, we noticed there's some 121 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: staining on the bathroom ceiling above the tub, okay, and 122 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: it's it's kind of a dark grayish color and if 123 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: I run my finger across it, nothing comes off. We've 124 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: touched the ceiling, it doesn't feel wet. There is a 125 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: vent there, and the staining is above the tub, isn't 126 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: above the sink or above the toilet or in the 127 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:10,479 Speaker 2: rest of the bathroom, and we're just kind of plustered 128 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: that is that an outdoor and yes, it is an 129 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: outdoor wall. 130 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: Okay. And so the big question, and you've probably already 131 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: thought of this, the big question is that moisture coming 132 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: from the inside or is it coming from the outside? 133 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 3: Oh? 134 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 2: Okay, well I was thinking was it coming from the inside. 135 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: I didn't even think about the outside. 136 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: That's what. Yeah, so it can be. When was that 137 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: cabin or house built? Do you have any idea? 138 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: Or two thousand eight? 139 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: So there's insulation in that wall, and there's a vapor 140 00:09:53,240 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: barrier in that wall. Is it a wood construction? Yes? Okay. 141 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: So is there gutters on that outside wall? 142 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: Yes? 143 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 2: Now we have noticed that the gutters do need to 144 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 2: be cleaned out. We're in them, you know, we're in Gatlinburg. 145 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: So it's a lot of trees around. 146 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: A lot of leaves and a lot of trees exactly. 147 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 3: Yep. 148 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: So so that's one thing it very well could be. 149 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: You hear me preach it all the time, but I 150 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: preach it because that is a way water finds entry 151 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: into our homes if the gutters don't flow well and 152 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: they're clogged with leaves and sticks, or they're not slow 153 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: properly because of the weight of the leaves and the twigs. 154 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: Water can get up underneath the roof and enter that 155 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: wall and create staining from moisture. It could be mold 156 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: and mildews on the back of it. Also, it would 157 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: grow through that. So that's one option. The other option 158 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: is what the heck. It's a bathroom, a lot of 159 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: moisture tubs, showers, et cetera. And when that moisture hangs 160 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,599 Speaker 1: in that room, I don't know if you've got a 161 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: ventilation fan in there or not. 162 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: There is it's primarily around that ventilation fan. 163 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, my guess is what it is. My guess is 164 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: what it is is that that ventilation fan. That pipe 165 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: is probably a steel pipe, and the grid could be 166 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 1: steel also. Waters dripping around that outlet and just dampinging 167 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: it and creating a little mold and mildew.

We kind of 368 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 1: want to go over a little bit of that. I 369 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: had to rush through that answer, but I think a 370 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: lot of people actually have this particular problem, and that 371 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: is a little probably mildew maybe mold around where the 372 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: exhaust fan is in your bathroom, and especially this timey year, 373 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: cold outside, warmer in the inside. You got a metal 374 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: pipe that goes to that fan. It's vented hopefully outside 375 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: or through the roof, but that pipe gets cold and 376 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: we start pushing very moist, warm air through that exhaust 377 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,479 Speaker 1: fan and through that pipe, and of course condensation forms 378 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: when you got warm moist air hitting a cold, hard 379 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 1: surface like sheet metal and vice versa, and that condensation 380 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: can roll down that pipe and kind of pond on 381 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: the back of the dry wall and get a little moldy, mildewy, 382 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: and start having that stain around that exhaust fan. So 383 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: really what you want to do and not all kind 384 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: of funnels into this whole indoor air quality being bad. 385 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: Little things like that can exacerbate the whole issue of 386 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: bad indoor air quality because multipords aren't good for us, 387 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: but they're everywhere, but an abundance of it is not 388 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: good for us. So if we can take the wall, 389 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: you hear me say this a lot, we can take 390 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: the water out of the equation, we can pretty much 391 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: solve that problem. So we could wrap, we could get 392 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: up there and wrap and insulate that pipe, maybe even 393 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: install a damper in there. Maybe there is one where 394 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: it just stops a lot of that cold air from 395 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: rushing down through that pipe. But insulating it for sure 396 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: would be a big, big step in the right direction. 397 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: As far as what we have there, I had mentioned 398 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: a wedd and forget product called mold remover and disinfectant 399 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: that will kill the mold if it's actively growing, but 400 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: it won't remove the stain, so soap and water remove 401 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: the stain, so it's two step process. Then I would 402 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: let it dry. I would use a stained bl locking 403 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: primer like Kills ki l Z. Just make sure it 404 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: mentions being a stain blocker. Kills makes a lot of 405 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: different primers there. You know, gold Star was a stain blocker, 406 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: but now there's you go into the paint department, you'll 407 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: find eight different kinds of Kills on the shelf. So 408 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: you want the stain blocking Kills and once that's applied, 409 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: you can paint to ceiling and you probably eliminate your 410 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: problem fairly easily. But that does fall under the whole 411 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:40,479 Speaker 1: category of bad indoor air quality. Affecting indoor air quality, 412 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: and also when you have an issue like and was 413 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: speaking of. That's why I'm always talking about where we 414 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: vent that. Just think if that has a little metal 415 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: stub of pipe going up into the attic and it's 416 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: got this more moist air and it's hitting that cold 417 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: attic temperature. I mean, I've said it before, and I 418 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: mean it can actually appear to be raining in your 419 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: attic if that's not vented outside. And if that is 420 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: not vented outside, maybe there's not even a pipe, Maybe 421 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 1: there's not even a steel pipe there. Maybe it's just 422 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: got one of those plastic i'll call them accordium vent pipe, 423 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: and maybe it's just laying on the insulation up there. Yeah, 424 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: you get the picture. Now you're pulling that air out, 425 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: it's hitting that cold attic temperature, and that moisture just 426 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: starts laying on the insulation and begins to wet that 427 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: insulation that could be being absorbed by the drywall and 428 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: causing that whole problem. So when she said, oh yeah, 429 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: it's right around that exhaust pipe, is like, oh yeah, 430 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: that's exactly uh you know what's going on. So yeah, 431 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: I might give that a take a look. But again, 432 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: a good thing. You see, some of that doesn't look right, 433 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: and you should be concerned because until we've got into 434 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: the event pipe. You know, I was also out on 435 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: the gutters looking for ways that water is going to 436 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: intrude from the outside, and I asked her for it 437 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: was wood, Yes it is if it was brick. Is 438 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: there missing mortar, is there cracked brick? What's going on 439 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: out there? What's not working out there where water could 440 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: be getting inside the wall? In fact, later today, talking 441 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: about inside the wall, I've been reading several articles in 442 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: the past week or so about mice and how quickly 443 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: this is their breeding season and how quickly they have 444 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: broods of mice and they're living in your wall. No, 445 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: not everybody, I'm not trying to scay you. I'm just 446 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: saying be aware, look for mouse droppings and listen because 447 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: a lot of times you can hear them inside the 448 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: wall and putting in Uh. You know, a lot of 449 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: people try and use different poisons, and if they die 450 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: behind that wall, you're gonna smell that for a while, 451 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: maybe only less than a week, but you're gonna smell it. 452 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: They won't get out of your house. A lot of 453 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: those poisons work where they search for water, and that's 454 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: what they kind of mixes with the water and the 455 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: mouse and you know that they're poisoned and then they 456 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: die and then they smell. But some of different traps, 457 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: they're always forging for food, and how are they getting 458 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: in that wall? Those are other questions. So well, I 459 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: have a pest control company and we'll talk a little 460 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: bit about that, how you can, uh, you know, make 461 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: your home a little mouseproof. But other things that influence 462 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: indoor air And like I said at the top of 463 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: the hour, we're going to have a air quality expert 464 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: in with us and we're going to talk about the 465 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: things that influence the air quality in our homes. It's humidity, 466 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: we've talked about that, chemicals, we've talked about that, bacteria, 467 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: fung guy. Yeah, we just talked about that. That's mold 468 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: and mildew. Air exchange rates type of your construction insulation. 469 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: It goes on and on, allergens. 470 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 3: And dust. 471 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: And then then how do you do that, Do you 472 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: filter that, do you exchange that air? Do you just 473 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: live with it? I don't think anyone just live with it. 474 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: That's probably not the direction to go. So we'll be 475 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: discussing that. In the meantime, we've got a couple open 476 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: lines for you if you'd like to jump on board. 477 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. 478 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: I'll tell you I had this happen. I mentioned it 479 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: probably four weeks ago, and now I'm obsessed with checking it. 480 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: Is that dryer vent if you can see the dryer vent. 481 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: In other words, it's you know, vent right out side 482 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: of the house, maybe right behind where the laundry room is, 483 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: or if if your washers down in the basement, maybe 484 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: on that same wall, there'll be a vent next to 485 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: the dryer. Take a look at that. I was driving 486 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: up my driveway into my garage and the brick's wet 487 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: below the vent, and I thought, that's odd, that's very odd, 488 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: and uh, parked a car, went out and looked and 489 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: I see there's a little it's made of plastic, but 490 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: it's like a half inch hardware cloth. It's almost like 491 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: a little drawer right at the end of the vent 492 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 1: that just slides in, and I see some lint hanging 493 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: off it. I wonder if that's clogged. And I slid 494 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: that little drawer out and literally I scraped up a 495 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: handful of lint which was soaking wet and I had 496 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: went in and I was showing it to Sue and 497 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: just saying, yeah, that dryer vent is like it was 498 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: really clogged. I want to look at the back of 499 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: the dryer too, see if that whole pipe has clogged. 500 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: I think it's just that vent pipe right where it 501 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: was exiting the house. But just I was wondering about that. 502 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: In fact, I was going to say something to you 503 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,239 Speaker 1: because the clothes weren't drying like they used to.

And you talk about a 505 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: waste of energy, bingo, just letting that dryer run on 506 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: and on and on. That's a waste of energy because 507 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: it's still working, it's trying to dry the clothes.

I have 558 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 3: a home. I'm in little just outside Louisville, Kentucky, and 559 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 3: I'm in a home that was finished in two thousand. 560 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 3: But I have a question about insulation. Uh are garages 561 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,760 Speaker 3: in this area normally insulated? And because what I'm having 562 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 3: is when it gets really real cold, I'd say, you know, 563 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 3: ten degrees are lower. Lower. My refrigerator and freezer in 564 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 3: the garage quit working because the garage is colder than 565 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 3: what the refrigerator is. And I have a room above 566 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 3: the garage and not really a finished room but just 567 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,280 Speaker 3: an attic. And when you open that door into that room, 568 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 3: that room is absolutely freezing. And I have pipes Gary 569 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 3: that that feed my showers on the end of the room, 570 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 3: and I've already had them bursts. I've already had them 571 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 3: burst once. So I don't know if I just need 572 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 3: to come back in there and have that thing totally reinsulated. 573 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 3: And I'm gonna shut up now and just listen yeah. 574 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: I mean, here's here's an example I'll give you all right. 575 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: First of all, First of all, the walls are usually insulated. Uh, 576 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they are, but they are usually insulated. 577 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: Does it have an insulated garage door? 578 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 3: Yes, I have two insulated garage doors. But Gary, you 579 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 3: know they say they're insulated, but when you walk through 580 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 3: there at night, you know you can see light coming 581 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 3: in on the edges of the garage. 582 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: Well, I might need weather strip So I'll give you 583 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: an example at my house because I just noticed that 584 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: about three weeks ago when we had a cold snap, 585 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 1: we got near zero is several days, and I have 586 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: an insult garage doors. They're not new, they're twenty six 587 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: years old. One of the tips I usually do in 588 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: the fall is talking about checking the weather stripping on 589 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: the door, making sure it's not torn, make sure it's 590 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 1: not missing, make sure the weather stripping on the bottom 591 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: of the door is sitting plush with you know, flush 592 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: with the garage floor. In other words, make it as 593 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: air tight as a garage door it can be. And 594 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: then I have the walls. Those are insulated, and my 595 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: garage during that cold snap did not get below forty 596 00:37:51,840 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: three degrees, and yeah, I got a cheap little In fact, 597 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: it was from the kids when they went away to school. 598 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,959 Speaker 1: They had like a little mini fridge, if you will, 599 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: for their dorm room, and I have it in the garage. 600 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: And of course it continued to function. It was cooling 601 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: at thirty seven degrees, but that garage never got that cold. 602 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: So you know, I mean you might want to look 603 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: at that garage door. I mean, I don't know. Make 604 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: sure it is, in fact an insulated garage door. Make 605 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 1: sure it's as weather tight as it can be. Pull 606 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: off a receptacle cover or switch cover on an outside 607 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: wall and see if you can see insulation between the 608 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: box and the cavity of the wall itself. And you know, 609 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: even putting some insulation above that garage roof, non faced 610 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: might be helpful. Also. 611 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 3: Now as far as face, what does that mean? 612 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: That means no vapor barrier because you really don't have 613 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: a heated area. It's kind of unheated the whole area, 614 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: so you would just use a non vapor. 615 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 3: There's no heat or anything like that running into. 616 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: A no no, So just an unfaced fiberglass blown in 617 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: or fiberglass rolled out insulation would be helpful. As far 618 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 1: as the pipes in the attic, I'd be a little 619 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: bit concerned about why they frozen burst because if the 620 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,720 Speaker 1: pipes were running up through the wall, there should be 621 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: a backside of the studded wall to one of the showers, 622 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: and those pipes should be in that cavity, and that 623 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: cavity should be. 624 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 3: Insulated, Okay, okay, and. 625 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: If they're not, Yeah, you got to make sure those 626 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 1: pipes are insulated. 627 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay. Well, I'm pretty sure that has been taken 628 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 3: care of now because I had I had, I had 629 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 3: people in there after my house flooded from those two showers, 630 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 3: and I know they packed those walls pretty good. But 631 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 3: like I say, I put two those space heaters up there. 632 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,760 Speaker 3: When it gets below when it's single bidgets or below zero, 633 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 3: I run extra alternate heat and I open up those 634 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 3: attic doors the cavities just to let a little bit 635 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 3: of heat in there, because I'm scared of death. I 636 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 3: don't want those pipes to burst again. 637 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: Well, when I had a house built, I realized the 638 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: first winter went down the five below and the pipes 639 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: in the attic froze to the one shower, and getting 640 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,800 Speaker 1: up there to fall the pipes, the water in the pipes. 641 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: I quickly noticed that the pipes did not make the 642 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: wall cavity, so they were totally exposed. Oh you know, 643 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: that'll that'll get you. But I would say, really, with 644 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: a just a medium quality insulated garage door in a 645 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: house built in that era, you you should not have 646 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: any difficulty to keep that temperature above even freezing, even 647 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: if it gets down to below zero. I think as 648 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,760 Speaker 1: cold as I've ever seen my garage get was thirty 649 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: nine degrees and that was when it was below zero 650 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,800 Speaker 1: for about five days. 651 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 3: Wow, okay, yeah, I got well, then I got something 652 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 3: going on because I guarantee we can put soft drinks 653 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 3: and stuff in the garage uh huh, and they'll freeze up, 654 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 3: no free up if you leave them there overnight. 655 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. There's also specific refrigerators for garages or outdoor refrigerators 656 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: that have a little heater in there to keep it 657 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 1: where it won't freeze up. That might be something to 658 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 1: look at. And of course the whole the whole garage 659 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: cavity itself, how you can tighten out up a little bit, 660 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: and I really would check that weather stripping along the sides. 661 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: You can add that to a garage door, and all 662 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: it is is a vinyl strip with a frame that's 663 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: attached to the jam of the garage and the garage 664 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 1: door comes down and rides right along that vinyl vinyl 665 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: weather stripping. But it keeps it keeps air out. It 666 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: certainly works well. 667 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, Gary, One last question. A lot of the 668 00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 3: newer houses they have the foam and instead of putting 669 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 3: it down in the floor joys on the on the floor, 670 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 3: they're putting that right up against the roof of that house. 671 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:14,280 Speaker 1: What that's called jar Well, you know, it's a whole 672 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,240 Speaker 1: different concept. So what that's called is whole house encapsulation. 673 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 1: And what you're doing is you're making the attic a 674 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: it runs. It allows the heat from the home to 675 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: escape in the attic, and the outer part of the cavity, 676 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: the bottom of the roof, the sides of the walls 677 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,759 Speaker 1: of the attic hold that escaped heat out of the 678 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: house into the attic, so the attic becomes a conditioned airspace. 679 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: So if you do that, you can certainly do that. 680 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 1: It's used a lot in the South, not as much 681 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: in Louisville, Kentucky, but it is being used If you 682 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: want to learn a little bit about it, just google 683 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: whole house encapsulation and I think you'll find a lot 684 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 1: of information about foam installation.
