Last week you helped me fix 17 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: my toilet where the water wasn't coming up into the bowl. 18 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: And I learned about you. Well. You said to undo 19 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: the valves and leave it for a while, and I 20 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: did that and my husband kept plunging, you know, even 21 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: though the water would drain. It just wouldn't come back 22 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: up right. 23 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 3: And. 24 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: So then overnight it just cleared and well, I after 25 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: a half hour, I did turn the valve back on again. 26 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: So it was thank you. And now I have another 27 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: question because of what you were just talking about with 28 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: the furnace filters. Well, it's sort of strange. We have 29 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: quite a very new furnace and maybe two years old, 30 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: and right this summer with the air on the filter, 31 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: and I use those cheap thin ones because I like that, 32 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: and I replaced them very often, but they the filter 33 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 2: in the summer didn't turn dirty dirty, it didn't pick 34 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 2: up a bit of gray. And I called our general 35 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 2: contractor and he said, well, you both have a very 36 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: clean house, and I said no, but he didn't think 37 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: that I needed to have the furnace sky come out 38 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: this fall because it's such a new furnace. But I 39 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: think it's a little dustier in the house because even 40 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: though the air conditioner runs beautifully and the furnaces, you know, good, 41 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 2: and the air flows strong, when I come down there 42 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: and I go to pull out the old furn filter, 43 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: it's really not it's strange, I think, And so and 44 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: I put the filter in correctly in the direction that 45 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: he marked the arrow. 46 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: First question, Yeah, I do. 47 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 2: But also those those are the thin filters, so that 48 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: it flows through very easily and it just stays pure white. 49 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: I don't it's pure white, like nothing is coming through 50 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: in the winter. It did when the winter they would 51 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: turn gray. 52 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Well, I don't really have an answer of why it's not. 53 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: I you know, it might be because it is a 54 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: new newer house or a newer it's an old house. 55 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 2: It's an old house and the furnace is only about 56 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: maybe two years old. And in the winter I was 57 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: getting plenty of I was picking up plenty of dust 58 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 2: through the filter. But this summer it's. 59 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: A pretty simple operation now, I mean, if it's not 60 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: picking of dust, it's pretty much there's not dust. You 61 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: got to go in the right way, the blowers working, 62 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: or you wouldn't have had air conditioning this summer. So 63 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: you know what you might consider. There are those thin filters. 64 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: They're a one inch filter and it's either sixteen by 65 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: twenty five or twenty by twenty five or twenty by 66 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: twenty you know, there's different sizes, but they're one inch 67 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: and they make a flat one which sounds like the 68 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: one you have, and they also make a pleted one, 69 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about an allergen one, it's just 70 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: a pleted one. So there's a little more surface material 71 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: so it has a little better filtering properties to it. 72 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: And you might want to slide one of those in 73 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: there and maybe three four bucks or something, and you 74 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: know the one you have. The analogy is you're trying 75 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: to filter out basketballs and these other ones are going 76 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: to filter out ping pong balls, so they're definitely, you know, 77 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more efficient, and that might be something 78 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: you want to change to. 79 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: Okay, I'll do that, all right. 80 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: Very good, Thank you appreciate it. And as I was 81 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: saying earlier too, there's even varying degrees of pleated filters. 82 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: In fact, there's even one out there. It would require 83 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 1: configuration of where the filter goes, but there's four inch 84 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: four inch thickness of filters that are pleated. Think about 85 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: the additional surface area you have, and those only need 86 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: to be changed every six months because there's more surface 87 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: but a pleated you know, if you've got a twenty 88 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: by twenty flat panel filter, that's your surface temperature or 89 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: surface filtering area. And then if you got a twenty 90 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: by twenty and it's pleated. Well, that's a big difference. 91 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: All those plats have more surface area. It's going to 92 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: filter out more pollutants or materials. And then you get 93 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: into the ultra allergens, which really can filter down to viruses. 94 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: I think it's like point three microns and that they 95 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: have a rating on those. I think that's a MERV eleven. 96 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: So that's a pretty strong filtering not saying she needs that, 97 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: probably doesn't. That fat panel's not picking up anything. Eh, 98 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: you still need a filter in there, that's for sure. 99 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: But I go with the pleted. I go the pleted 100 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: all the time, not necessarily the allergen ones, but just 101 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: a good pleated filter. I think that is certainly the 102 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: way to go. And here's another question as we're kind 103 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: of talking about looking forward of things we need to do. 104 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: I know I get asked this question a lot this 105 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: time of year, is do I really need to have 106 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: somebody come out and do maintenance on my or check 107 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: my furnace and do maintenance on it annually? Do I 108 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: really need to do that? Well, there's a study out 109 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: talks about the longevity of furnace is being maintained on 110 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: an annual basis versus not being maintained at all, and 111 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: it from looking at it, I don't have the study 112 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: in front of me. I just wanted to bring this up. 113 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: It's literally like you'll get an additional four or five 114 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: years or twenty to twenty five percent more life of 115 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: your furnace. And there's so many heating and cooling companies 116 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: that would love your business, and they offer some very 117 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: good deals, probably anywhere from eighty bucks to one hundred 118 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: and twenty bucks. 119 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 3: To not just. 120 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,239 Speaker 1: Inspect your furnace, but to clean it, to tighten the connections, 121 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: to do different tests on it to see if it's efficient, 122 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: and then for that that inspection is off, the safety inspection. 123 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: You know what kind of shape is the heat exchange. 124 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 1: And a lot of people say, oh, they just want 125 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: to get into my house to sell me a furnace. Yep, 126 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: there's probably something that'll do that. But there's also companies 127 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: that will give you a second opinion for free if 128 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: you run into that. Somebody tells you this is XYZ broken, 129 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: here's the picture, et cetera. This is an investment. And 130 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying HVAC companies are crooked. I'm sure there's 131 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: some and you should get a second opinion and when 132 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: you're ready to make that purchase, it wouldn't get wouldn't 133 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: be a bad idea to get a third estimate. Why not? 134 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: You can compare what you're getting, what it's saying, how 135 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: they're doing, what the warranty is. But they have that inspected, 136 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: I think is a great idea. You're going to extend 137 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: the life of that unit. They're probably going to give 138 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: you a year long discount on parts if something goes down, 139 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: and there's also some priority service calls. In other words, 140 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: if it breaks down, you might move up the ladder 141 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: versus someone who's not part of their ongoing inspections of 142 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: their furnace. So look into it. I think it's a 143 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: It is a smart thing to have done in your home. 144 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: All right, Well, take a break, Jeff, you'll be up first, 145 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: and you're at Home with Gary Slivan. 146 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 4: Home Improvement one oh one with Gary Sullivan every weekend. 147 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 4: Classes began at one eight hundred and eighty two. 148 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: Three tap. 149 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 4: You're at Home with Gary Sullivan. 150 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: Well, I talk a lot about products that can make 151 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: your life easier, and I use and love ter mender. 152 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: Now tear Mender repairs, tears, and all types of clothing, fabrics, 153 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: leather buttons, So grab a bottle of ter Mender.

My 178 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: teenager's Jimbig could have cleared his stadium, sweaty shoes, jersey. 179 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: Even the car smelled like a locker room.

You're at home with Gary Sullivan. Let's 188 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: get to the phones, and we've got Jeff Jeff welcome. 189 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 5: Yeah to continue on about the furnace filters. Where I 190 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 5: used to work, we changed them regularly the first first 191 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 5: of the month whenever we could, and we always used 192 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 5: the cheap fiber filters. And the installer at the time 193 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 5: I talked to him a couple of times he recommended 194 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 5: the fiber filters most of it in most cases, because 195 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 5: if you once they get dirty, you change them more often. 196 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 5: And actually a little of dust on their edge to 197 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 5: the filter process and the where the expensive filters put 198 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 5: more drag on your motor make your motor work harder 199 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 5: to you know, because you're running through all that filter 200 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 5: and the dust too. 201 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: Well. I agree and I disagree. There are different types 202 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: of pleated filters. In fact, when it gets really cold 203 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: or really hot out, Jeff, I'll tell people if you're 204 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: running a high efficiency filter, I was talking about ones 205 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: that actually filter viruses out. It does diminish the airflow 206 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: through the duckwork to a degree. Maybe you're not quite 207 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: warming that back bedroom well enough, and I tell them 208 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: to pull that out and put the cheapest filter in 209 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: to get better airflow. However, the filter I was talking about, 210 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: I think is a really good compromise. I'm very familiar 211 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: with those panel filters, they're good for thirty days period. 212 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: They filled dust bunnies. Okay, they let a lot pass 213 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: through too. But if you go with the pleated filter, 214 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: and I'm not talking to the ultra allergen, I'm talking 215 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: about a MERV rating of about five or six, which 216 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: is a good middle of the road. You do have 217 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: more surface area so you can keep them in longer, 218 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: and it really doesn't diminish. Obviously, if it got very dirty, 219 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: it would diminish airflow. But in that ninety days, I 220 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: don't see that happening. And you can always change them 221 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: in sixty days. I'll change mine about sixty days, especially 222 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: around the holidays, Thanksgiving to Christmas, where there's a lot 223 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: of you know, house traffic and different things, more dust 224 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: if you will, Yeah, yeah, but you know, as long 225 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: as you got something in there. I appreciate the input. 226 00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: That's just my feelings on it. 227 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I can understand both ways for sure. 228 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I said I feel strongly both ways. 229 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: Good weekend, Gary, all right, Jeff, thanks for the call. 230 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Let's go to Ken Ken Welcome. 231 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 6: Hey, Gary, good. Yeah, my wife's my wife's house. The 232 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 6: concrete driveways is poured the three sections and two sections 233 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 6: on the right hand side of it are now thinking 234 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 6: to the point where they's caused the concrete to crack. 235 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 6: And I was just trying to determine the best way to, 236 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 6: you know, like you would say, do a cause and 237 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 6: effect and repair this, and you know that I just 238 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 6: don't know where to get starts. 239 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: You So the you know, the effect is it's cracked. 240 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: So if we patch that, we're not we're covering up 241 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: the crack, okay, and that may be good enough. But 242 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: what's going on and you're in you know, in Florida, 243 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: So we got sinkholes, we got some unstable ground at 244 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: some places, maybe under your driveway, maybe not under your driveway. 245 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: I'd say your options are this, and I can tell 246 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: you how to do that in terms of patching it, 247 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: but you might want to since it's already sinking, you 248 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: might want to take a look at what they call 249 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: mud jacking, slab jacking, concrete leveling, where they drill into 250 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: the slab and they pump us somementatious grouting beneath it 251 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: and they actually lift the slab and they'll lift it 252 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: where that crack will be almost not noticeable to be 253 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: honest with you, and they'll patch that crack and then 254 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: you've taken care of the cause and the effect. Now, 255 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: if you don't want to do that, you want to 256 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: just patch the crack. It may continue to sink or 257 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: it may have stopped. If it's wider than a half inch, 258 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: you would want to use a self leveling euro thing 259 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: crack filler. If it's less than a half an inch, 260 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: you could just use what they call regular crack and seal. 261 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: It's an acrylic latex concrete patch that you can just 262 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: pour in. 263 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 6: All right, Well, the biggest thing I was going to 264 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 6: ask you was the one thing I've noticed that the 265 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 6: street that we live on is we've the house twenty 266 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 6: plus years old. The actual road itself has not been 267 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 6: paved in over twenty five years, and there's sections of 268 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 6: the road that are actually sinking as well. 269 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it sounds like they're exactly you know, the 270 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: top is only as good as the base, and the base, 271 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: you know, it's prepared, it's got you know, gravel and 272 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: all that, but it's not going to stabilize a sinkhole. 273 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 3: Right. 274 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: So, I think one of the things that you might 275 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: look at if you're having that it's put under pressure, 276 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: so it takes a path at least resistance. There's no 277 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: guarantee on that either. If you do go with the 278 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: self leveling, what you might ask is if there is 279 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,239 Speaker 1: a warranty, a lot of them will come back and 280 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: touch it up over a period of three years. But 281 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: I think that's something I would investigate. Based on what 282 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: you're telling me, We're going to learn about how to 283 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: keep those gutters free and free flowing.

You got to clean those gutters. 384 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: And if it's going to require a ladder and you're 385 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: gonna get up and you're going to scoop that gunk 386 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: out of your gutters, and if you don't, you will 387 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 1: have problems. Is that fair to say it is? 388 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? If the gutters, I mean it's one of those 389 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 3: things where you'd be amazed. How much damage can you 390 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 3: know small overflow can cause when it comes to you know, 391 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 3: wet basement's foundation damage, you would rot. So if the 392 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: gutters have even a little bit of debris in them, 393 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 3: and that debris flows down to the down spout and 394 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 3: clogs the down spout and the gutters overflow, you're you're 395 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: you're backing water up into places it's not supposed to 396 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 3: be and causing all sorts of headaches and damage. You're right, 397 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 3: once the gutters are down, if you can, if you 398 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 3: don't have gutter brush, you don't have a way to 399 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 3: keep them out of there. You blow them out or 400 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 3: clean them out before winter, because that's when things can 401 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 3: get really messy. 402 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: Randy. For people who maybe have not heard us talk 403 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: about the gut or brush, explain what it is and 404 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: the simplicity of installation. 405 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just basically it's a simple cylinder shaped brush 406 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 3: that comes in three foot lengths. It's almost like a 407 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 3: big oversized bottle brush that that you slide right into 408 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 3: your gutter channel and create a big filter in your gutter. 409 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 3: So there are three foot sections you slide into your gutter, 410 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 3: filling them end to end, and there's no tools, no fasteners, 411 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 3: nothing screwed into your gutter. Nothing's interfering with your roofing shingles. 412 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 3: So it's just a very very simple alternative to some 413 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 3: of the screens and covers and other gutter guard solutions. 414 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: That have been around for a long time. 415 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 3: But you're basically fill your gutters with this big cylinder 416 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 3: shape brush. We've got six different diameters to protect just 417 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 3: about any any size gutter and channel that's out there, 418 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 3: and it creates a filter that it's very easy to 419 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 3: install and very easy to maintain. At some point, I 420 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: guess any of these gutter systems are going to require 421 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 3: maintenance from time to time. And that's one of the 422 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 3: things people really like about gutter brush is not well, 423 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 3: you know, pull them out, shake them out, and slide 424 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: them back in. 425 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: It's very very easy, right, It'll make that chor a 426 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: lot easier and you may not even have to use it. 427 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: I know on my whole house there's just one gutter. 428 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: I got to do that about maybe every other year 429 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: or every three years. A little shake and that's it. 430 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: The rest are still there and in position. And what 431 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: it does is the leaves and stuff that fall, they 432 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: just can't get into the gutter. They're laying on the 433 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: top of the bristles and then they blow off. No 434 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: problem with water getting down into the gutter, like some 435 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: of the caps and screens that go over gutters. Correct. 436 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of the problems we hear about the 437 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 3: other systems is there's a lot of options like a 438 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 3: gutter cover or a screen. And what typically happens when 439 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 3: you covered most of your gutters with a piece of 440 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 3: metal and you get a heavy rain, that water comes 441 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 3: down your roofline very quickly. A lot of the water 442 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 3: passes right over that gutter. Guard and comes off your roof. 443 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 3: Same with screens. As dirt and dust and pollen and 444 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 3: things like that are coming off your roof, that tends 445 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 3: to fill the cells and the screens and covers. It 446 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 3: creates kind of a mat that water can't get into 447 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 3: your gutter. 448 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: Right, So folks, there's no tools. You don't have to 449 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: cut it. It folds into itself, no fasteners, don't have 450 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: to modify the roof. So it's an inexpensive, effective and 451 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: easy way to protect the gutters. And it's got some 452 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: added benefits too. I know after after you had the 453 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: gutter brush for a while, you realized it really helped 454 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: with a reduction of ice dams. 455 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, we did. It's funny. The first couple of years 456 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: we were in business, we started getting more and more 457 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 3: reports from customers, especially in northern climates with a lot 458 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 3: of snow and ice, that had faced problems with icicles 459 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 3: and ice dams in the past, and they told us 460 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 3: that since they installed the brush, brush is black in color, 461 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 3: so when black gets exposed to a little bit of 462 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: sunlight or even even in cold weather, it tends to 463 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 3: warm up a little bit. And we had a lot 464 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 3: of people telling us that they've had substantially less trouble 465 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 3: with ice build up and ice dams since they've installed it, 466 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 3: so it's been a great additional benefit. 467 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: How about commercial buildings, Are they catching on metal buildings 468 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: and things like that because they have some of these 469 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: seven or eight inch gutters doing much business with buildings 470 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: like that. 471 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 3: We are, Actually, that's one of our fastest growing areas 472 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: is on these you know, large commercial buildings, you know, 473 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 3: metal buildings, pole barns, agricultural buildings, airplane hangars. There's there's 474 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 3: big you know, big gutter systems and on these commercial 475 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 3: structures that that just don't have many options to keep 476 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 3: thinking debris on. So we make the brushes all the 477 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 3: way up to seven and eight inches in diameter to 478 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 3: to fill and protect those larger gutter systems. And we're 479 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 3: having a lot of great feedback from commercial customers. You know. 480 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: One of the things we talk about a lot on 481 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: this show of Raindy, especially in the last couple of years, 482 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: is pest control keeping squirrels, birds, mosquitos and all that 483 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: protected gutters really diminish those claims. 484 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 3: They do. Yeah, they stop that standing water from building 485 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 3: up in gutters that can be breeding grounds for mosquitoes, 486 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 3: and we have a a lot of customers that tell 487 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 3: us that that they don't have as much problem with leaves, 488 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 3: but they've got problems with birds that are proaching or 489 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 3: nesting in their gutters, or rodents that are that are 490 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 3: finding their way into those areas.

I was I was talking to 634 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 8: the gentleman that answered the phone. And I'll just tell 635 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 8: you I live in Pasco County, Florida and live in 636 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 8: a stucco house. Okay, there's one side of the house 637 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 8: where there was a flower bed that had been I 638 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 8: guess piling up with dirt and malch and we finally 639 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 8: just took all of that stone, dirt and maulched out. 640 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 8: And when we did, we saw that there was a 641 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 8: crack going across the bottom of the house. And then 642 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 8: it actually started cracking into a hole. And so now 643 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 8: there's a big hole on the side of the base 644 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 8: of the home, just that one side. Who would you 645 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 8: recommend to repair something like that, because we have looked 646 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 8: on YouTube to see how to repair it, but it 647 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 8: looks like it's very involved and I want it done right. 648 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: So let me make sure I got this. Okay. So 649 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: the foundation in itself, there's a crack that goes horizontally 650 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: in the foundation, okay, And then when it gets near 651 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: the end of the house, you say there's a hole, No. 652 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 8: It's more about a third of the way through. It 653 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 8: looks like the crack started to turn into a hole. 654 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 8: But there's still a crack. It's say too least the 655 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 8: last third and then the two thirds. 656 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 1: Okay, what is the hole in? Is it in the concrete, 657 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: the concrete block, the ground? What is the hole? 658 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 8: It looks like it's in the concrete okay, and then 659 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 8: behind it is a mesh of metal nets. 660 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: Like oh, okay, so the hole is probably in the stucco. 661 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: Then correct? 662 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 8: That is that is right? 663 00:39:54,920 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: Okay? So the metal mesh you're seeing is it's it's 664 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: what the stucco is applied to for it can grip 665 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: onto the house. Okay. So it's got like a little 666 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 1: diamond pattern in it. And when you patch the stucco, 667 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 1: you push it against that laughing, and it produces keys 668 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 1: which holds the stucco in place. So what you need, 669 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: So it may be two different types of people that 670 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: are going to be able to take care of that. 671 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: I As far as the hole in the stucco, there 672 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: are stucco repair people that repair stucco, patch stucco, So 673 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: a mason or stucco repair I would google near you. 674 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: Some painters will do it that will address the hole. 675 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: As far as the crack, in the foundation. You're going 676 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: to have to tell me how big is that crack? 677 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: And I know it's horizontal, so it's probably there was along. 678 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 8: The whole side of the house near the bottom. What 679 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 8: I think happened as I was doing my research was 680 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 8: we purchased the house used and people kept adding malt 681 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 8: and then rocks, and then malt and then more rocks, 682 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 8: and it got up so high that there was no 683 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:39,359 Speaker 8: way for the foundation to breathe. And so when we 684 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 8: finally took all of that out, that's what we found 685 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,720 Speaker 8: was that crack. It's just a fine crack. 686 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I think what's happened is I think there 687 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: was some settling somewhere in that foundation which has caused 688 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: it to and I think it's also related to that stucco. 689 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: Not that the stucco caused it, but you probably had 690 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: some settlings. So the person that's going to be able 691 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: to repair the stucco will probably simply repair that crack 692 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: in the foundation by applying like a mortar or a 693 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 1: concrete patch over that crack. And you'll need to watch it. 694 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't know if there is some 695 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: instability and it's going to crack again. Or whether there 696 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: was a little instability, it caused some stress, it caused 697 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: the crack, It caused the stucco to become compromised. And 698 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: it's finished, so you know there there, You know, you 699 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: can have it inspected by an engineer. But I I'd 700 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: patch the stucco, patch the crack, and let's see where 701 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:52,879 Speaker 1: it goes from there. 702 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 8: And you said to look up a mason, Yeah, you. 703 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: Can look up stuck repair or a mason. Masons do 704 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: stucco work and brickwork, and that's who's going to make 705 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 1: that repair. Ask around the neighborhood, see if they've had 706 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: any stucco patching.

It's they'll clean out that hole, 708 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: they'll square it up, they'll push it to the lath, 709 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: they'll create the patch and then somebody's gonna have to 710 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: primate and paint it. But maybe they won't have to 711 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 1: primate and paint. I gotta have to see the job. 712 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: But uh, sometimes painters.
