I don't know. 20 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 2: Well, did they have it in the forties? 21 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: No? 22 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 2: No, okay, because I can't find my don't I don't 23 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 2: think there's a cleanout on this property. But the sewer 24 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: line is PBC because I just dug it up Friday. 25 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: Well, the sewer line could have been the sewer line 26 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: could have been compromised and they put in PVC. Not 27 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: how long you've out in the house, but you. 28 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: Know, fifteen years. And they would put in a cleanout 29 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: if they put in a new pipe at recent don't 30 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: you think. 31 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: I would think so if the person saw it and 32 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: all that, I would think so. But if you can't 33 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: find a clean out, you've got a basement in the 34 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: house where you would normally find a waistline going from 35 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: the first floor or the second floor down into the. 36 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: Basement, only a cross space. 37 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: Uh huh. And you don't see any waistline at all. 38 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know why there'd be one in the 39 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: cross space because they tell me that they can't get 40 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: into the crawl space with their snakes. 41 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: Okay, okay. 42 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: And there's no vertical there's no horizontal line coming out 43 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: except four feet under the dirt level. 44 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: Okay. But somehow it's got to be coming from the 45 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: house into who into that PBC pipe, right, So there's 46 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: got to be a major waistline in that house somewhere. 47 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 2: You mean a cleanout. 48 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: No cleanouts, just the plug that would be in the 49 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: major waist line. 50 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: Right well, the waste I found the line Friday coming 51 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 2: out of the house going to the alley, but it's forced. 52 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: It's under the dirt level of the crawl space, so 53 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: I had to dig down even farther than the crawlspace steps. Okay, 54 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: but outside is where I dug about two feet from 55 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: the house. But I've had this house for fifteen years 56 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: and I can't I don't know of anything that's been 57 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: in the in the back that I wouldn't have covered 58 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: it up, even not knowing what it was. 59 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if there is a cleanout, I'm 60 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: not going to be able to find it for you. 61 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: In I guess what I'm saying is you know, I don't. 62 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what your question is. If the question 63 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: is you know you can't find a clean out, I 64 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: would assume you've got to have a pipe that's tying 65 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: all you're plumbing together to the waistline to run the 66 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: waistline out under the ground to whether it goes through 67 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: the crawl space or whatever. Maybe it's behind a wall. 68 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: You know. I think you called yesterday. I think we 69 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: had this exact same conversation, and you're gonna it's got 70 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: to be there. There's got to be a waistline. Now, 71 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: there may not be a clean out, and it may 72 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: be something that has to be installed, but my goodness, 73 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: if that you've been in there fifteen years, and if 74 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: that house was even built fifteen years before you moved in, 75 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: I would assume there is a cleanout somewhere. But you 76 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: gotta find it. You find a waistline, you're going to 77 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: find a cleanout, so I. And there's ways to detect 78 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: the pipes behind walls, you know, there's ways to detect 79 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: wiring behind walls. There's way to detect studs that are 80 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: behind the wall. So but somewhere you have a clean 81 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: you have a waist line. And a lot of cases, 82 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: especially in newer builds home, you'll you'll find them down 83 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: in the basement or the cross space and it'll be 84 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: above ground because it's connected with an elbow that then 85 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: goes underground. So hopefully that helps you. Bill. Let's go 86 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: to Mike. Mike, welcome, hid I can, but you're I 87 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: can hardly hear. 88 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 3: You got a question. 89 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: We got a sister in under our garage. More that 90 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: we haven't used in years we went with city water. 91 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 4: Anything we should be doing with that, checking out the 92 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 4: downspouts are no longer hooked up to it, I'm not 93 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 4: we haven't pulled the lids off in a while. There's 94 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 4: probably some water in it, But is there anything we 95 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 4: have to do that? Just ye having that under there? 96 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: Well, okay, so it's it's it's empty. I'm assuming. 97 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 4: It's probably got water in it. We never really pumped 98 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 4: it out when we sit water. 99 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: The only other thing I would do, can you can 100 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: you get to it to put anything in it? Like 101 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: maybe you could fill it? 102 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 4: Uh there's two uh manhole covers in the garage floor 103 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 4: that we can access them through. 104 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, the only thing I would be and I'm not 105 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: really that concerned about it, but if there is some 106 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: water in it and there is access to it, I 107 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: just want to make sure somebody can't get in there 108 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: and fall in there and drowned or something along those lines. 109 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: So the only reason I asked that is, you know, 110 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: rather than removing it, maybe it's something you could use 111 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: to fill it. If that's not a concern, or you 112 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: want to go ahead and lock up those plates, that 113 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: might be an option also they are bolded down. Okay, 114 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: all right, well the only do you have to remove it? 115 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: The answer is no. Do you have to fill it? 116 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: The answer underneath where you're at is no. If you 117 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: want to fill it, you know that you can fill it. 118 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: But that can be expensive too, just like a yeah, 119 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: something along those lines. Yeah, exactly, But those those cisterns 120 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: can hold a lot too, you know. 121 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 122 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, And trying to move that thing out is gonna 123 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: be that's a big chore if it's under like a 124 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: garage floor. 125 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, try to do that. 126 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well, keep listening. Maybe somebody else has got 127 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: some other ideas. I mean, you could probably somehow create 128 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: like a little seller and pump it out and repurpose it. 129 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: That'd probably be pretty expensive based on where it's at, too, 130 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: But uh, if aanyboy has an idea, I'm sure they'll 131 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: call and let us know.

Something in the back 182 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: of my head says you should. But I was always 183 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: thinking from a safety standpoint, so I guess it also 184 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: may depend on size of the cistern. But kind of 185 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: what I'm reading is maybe just fill it. And I 186 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: don't know if he drained it or just quit using 187 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: it and it dried up.

I used one back 202 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 6: in eighteen when we had a hurricane come through a 203 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 6: my neighbor's tree fell in my yard, so I had 204 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 6: to cut the bulk of it up and I used 205 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 6: a reciprocating blade to take most of the limbs off. 206 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 6: But I needed a chainsaw for the rest of the tree. 207 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 6: But a pole saw for people who aren't killed, a 208 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 6: sharpening one and the oil it plugs up. I was 209 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 6: wondering if anybody made that attachment to go on the 210 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 6: end of a power hit or even the whole tool. 211 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: The only thing I've ever seen, quite honestly, is I've 212 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: seen the reciprocating saws that are battery powered. I've seen 213 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: uh pole saws that Remington makes with a maybe like 214 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: a ten inch bar, but it's kind of like a chainsaw. 215 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it like with a reciprocating head. So yeah, 216 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: I have not seen one. I would look under Vermont 217 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: American their website or the Cobalt website and see if 218 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: they have attachments, but I have not seen one, or 219 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: have they had a use a need to use one? 220 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 6: Right, well, for for the for the lower limbs versus 221 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 6: somebody trying to keep a chainsaw sharp on a pole. 222 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 6: Sau's kind of kind of difficult for me to keep 223 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 6: it sharp and get it sharp and that blade when 224 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 6: it's dull. If it gets dull, you know, just change 225 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 6: the blade out and keep going. 226 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: Well, I understand what you're what you're asking. I just 227 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: haven't seen that attachment to fit on that. 228 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 6: Maybe somebody's listening, who'll. 229 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: Think, yeah, yeah, maybe.

Yeah. I didn't ask him that, but 260 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: he said this is where I was a little confused, 261 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: and maybe there's a toilet right above there. I don't know. 262 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: He said the waistline was underground, going through the crawl 263 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: space and I guess, you know, even if there was 264 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: a toilet above and and you know, in a crawl 265 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: space it's not a finished wall, you would still you 266 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: would still see the waistline. He can't find a waistline 267 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: to even look for the for the opening. So I mean, 268 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: there's got to be a waistline that's connected somewhere. And 269 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. I mean, if it was 270 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: on the floor of a basement, it was right there, 271 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: and they didn't have a you know, an outlet on 272 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: that pipe, and that toilet was right over you know, 273 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: you know where the seal is, and then you have 274 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: an elbow, and then it went right into that waistline. 275 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: You know, I can see how that could be put together. 276 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm not doubting you. 277 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: But yeah, what I was going to say, you know 278 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: my launders downstairs.

So earlier I was talking about how important, 347 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, changing out the air in your home is. 348 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: As we continue to make it tight, make our homes tighter, 349 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: adding insulation, adding weather stripping, and of course as we 350 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: seal things off, we begin to trap pollutants. And I'd 351 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: say for probably fifteen years we were a little bit 352 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: on the cutting edge of talking about Eric's changing units, 353 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: exchanging the polluted air inside our homes for fresher air. 354 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: In fact, the EPA you've heard me say, they say 355 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: our indoor air quality is five times higher than in 356 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: pollutions pollutants than the outside air outdoors. And every now 357 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: and then I'll get an email referencing somebody that has 358 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: tried an easy Breathe, which is an air exchanging unit, 359 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: and this one was in particular, and this lady's writing 360 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: me and saying, you know, we were we had purchased 361 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: an easy Breathe because we felt the indoor air was polluted. 362 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: We thought it was too humid. My son and asthma, 363 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: which by the way, indoor air pollution is been connected 364 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: to or looked at with asthma, and we decided to 365 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: install it ourselves. My husband did the installation. It was 366 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: very simple, I'm reading from it. The hardest part for 367 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: him was drilling through one hundred and fifty year old 368 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: original home exterior would and I guess, so, one hundred 369 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: and fifty year old piece of wood. It's hard to 370 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: nail put a nail in it, no less drill a 371 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: hole through it. Having said that, she said, but since 372 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: the installation, and this is the secret sauce, right, since 373 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: the installation, the whole family, and I mean the whole 374 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: family has noticed a huge one hundred percent difference in 375 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: the cleaner airflow. It was amazing. I guess when you 376 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: live in a home for ten years, become used to 377 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: the things that we didn't realize we're bad. And apparently 378 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: the air in our home was bad until we installed 379 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: the easy Breathe. Then she talks about her son. She goes, 380 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: he has asthma and he has stopped coughing completely in 381 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: the finish basement area, which is the primary playroom for 382 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: the kids. So hooray, I thank you for the letter. 383 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: I think it's very poignant. I can tell you're thrilled, 384 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: and I can somewhat confirm it. I've had one for 385 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: fifteen years. My basement always smelled musty, and having lived 386 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: with that for fifteen years, it doesn't smell musty. But 387 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: about a year ago I was just question, is this 388 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: ain't really doing anything? And I remember, yeah, I put 389 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: it in because my basement was musty. I guess I 390 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: don't smell mustiness, but really, And I unplugged it that 391 00:25:54,320 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: night and the next day it was musty. So, you know, 392 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: nothing as terrific as her sun not coughing anymore. It 393 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: wasn't that bad, but I could smell mustiness within twelve hours. 394 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: So anyway, we thank you for that letter. I appreciate 395 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: all right. For you folks at head South or out 396 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: the Arizona and you're going to lock up your home 397 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: and maybe be gone for three months, I do hope 398 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: you have somebody checking your house periodically. There's a lot 399 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: of crazy things that can go in a house when 400 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: we abandon them. I'd also encourage you before you do 401 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: that trip to just kind of maybe think of some 402 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: items that can give you peace of mind. Security cameras, 403 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: maybe one for the outside, maybe one for the door. 404 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll let you decide how many and where. 405 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: Just to kind of keep an eye on the exterior 406 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: of your home, maybe one or two inside if it 407 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: helps with peace of mind having someone check on the 408 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: home of course critical, But I guess the biggest fear 409 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 1: is earlier. I was talking about how copper pipe will 410 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: start having some signs of corrosion, maybe around joints, and 411 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: older homes well even newer homes, homes built in the 412 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: last fifteen twenty years, and you start having a green 413 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: stain and a green crustacean and a white and then 414 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: a pinhole. And just think about that. If you're one 415 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: thousand miles away and you start having a leak in 416 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: the water pipe with a pinhole in it, the amount 417 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: of damage that can cause, or a some pump that fails, 418 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: or the battery on the backup pump that fails after 419 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: the main primary pump failed, or maybe the refrigerator just 420 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: quit working and you know, the meats and the food 421 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: the spoilage there. I'm kind of taking worst case scenario, 422 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: but these things happen, and there are water detectors that 423 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: can be applied, right on the main line of the 424 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: water where it can detect like if a toilet was 425 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: running and overflowing and kept going, how does that happen. 426 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: Nobody's been in the house. Maybe somebody was checking your 427 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: house and used the toilet. That's a possibility, right, Maybe 428 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: that some pump failed in the battery that was taking 429 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: care of the sump well was dead detects water. There's 430 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: detection device which can alert you on your phone and 431 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: also could possibly get you a deduction on your homeowner's 432 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: insurance and not by be worth considering also changing out 433 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: that battery backup pump and having a water driven backup pump. 434 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: If you have city water, that might be an option. 435 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: But if you're not going to take those precautions and 436 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: you just want to go old school, let's definitely do that. 437 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: Maybe you worked a refrigerator down, whether it just isn't 438 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: much into refrigerator, maybe you actually unplug it, open the doors. 439 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: We've taken that out of a problem area. Uh. Maybe 440 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: we shut off the water, we open the upstairs faucet 441 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: and the downstairs faucet and we drain all the water 442 00:29:54,640 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: out of the pipes. Solved that problem. Uh, maybe we 443 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: check the battery there some pump and make sure we 444 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: have a backup for that. And then the next thing 445 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: to do is work on any evaporation that could occur 446 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: of water that is standing in your house. And where 447 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: in the world is there water standing in your house. 448 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the toilets, the bathtub drains. I mean, 449 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be gone for ninety days, that water 450 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: surprisingly in the winter, airing your home's pretty dry, evaporation 451 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: will occur. And if it occurs and it's severe enough, 452 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: that water in the trap of the vanity, of the tub, 453 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: of the shower, if that water evaporates out of there, 454 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: sewer gas comes right into your home. There's nothing that 455 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: water works like a plug. So maybe before you leave, 456 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: you've shut off the water, You've drained the pipes, take 457 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: some mineral oil and put a little mineral oil, a 458 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: little being you know, three four ounces, maybe none even 459 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: that much, Probably a couple of ounces would be enough. 460 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: But you're doing is you're just putting a little mineral 461 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: oil in the drains. Every drain, toilet bowls, vanity drains, 462 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: kitchen drains, floor drains. That one in the basement, right 463 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of the basement and what that does 464 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: is that cuts it with oil and eliminates evaporation, so 465 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: that oil kind of safely keeps the water in place. 466 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: And WHOA, what a difference that makes. So if you 467 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: can see the outside of your house, see the inside 468 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: of your house, take a little of the risk away 469 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: with shutting down water, unplugging refrigerators, keeping any sewer gas out. 470 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: And that's easy to do. You just heard how I 471 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: feel pretty confident. But even doing that, I'd still here. 472 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: Somebody just walk through the house, you know, every week, 473 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: just make sure everything's okay.

A lot of good information 522 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: that's on your project list in the next year or so. 523 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 1: All right, back to the phones we go, Paul, Welcome, Yes, 524 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: good morning morning. 525 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 7: I have a couple of outbuildings live in western Oklahoma, 526 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:48,439 Speaker 7: and one is like the corrugated metal and the other 527 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 7: is shingled, both of which have leaks. Now I'm looking 528 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 7: for the cheapest way I can stop the leaks without 529 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 7: having to replace shingles or corrugated metal. Do you know 530 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 7: of a product that can be like rolled on, like 531 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 7: paint or something that would help seal roofing. 532 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: Has it ever leaked before or is it just started? 533 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 3: No, it's it's leaked for. 534 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: A couple of years. 535 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,720 Speaker 3: It had compensation, yes, yes, I'm absolutely positive. 536 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So when I first heard you say that, 537 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: I was thinking condensation right away. So on a metal building, 538 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 1: it depends what kind of metal building it is. But 539 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: those are fastened usually with screws and washers, and those 540 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: washers need to be replaced. I don't know of a 541 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: coating that you would just do a whole metal roof 542 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: on to seal that up where those seams are. It's 543 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: probably the washers m as far as the shield roof, 544 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, it could be around the flashing, not on 545 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: the roof. It could be the boots where the pipes 546 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 1: go up through it, and I had that those boots 547 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: are usually only warned for about ten years, even though 548 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: your roof is warned for thirty years. So I guess 549 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: before I get and before I can really answer that 550 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 1: question on whether something could be just rolled on it. 551 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: And real quick answer is no. There's different products out 552 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: there where they'll spray on a shingled roof which will 553 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: increase the longevity, but it's not going to repair the leak. 554 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 1: It's a ceilant that holds the granulars kind of refortifies 555 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: the grains of sand that are on the shingle to 556 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: make it last longer. But you know, the only thing 557 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,720 Speaker 1: if you have a missing shingle or a cracked shingle, 558 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, a roof patch or something like that, But 559 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 1: nothing that you're going to do on the whole entire roof. 560 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, well I was I was just hoping. 561 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand, I understand, But those are the two 562 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: things that I would say I would look at. I 563 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: think you're going to really have to identify where the 564 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: leak is in the metal roofing. I can almost bet 565 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: it's the washers on the shingle roofing. I would say 566 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: I would inspect my flashings and my rubberized boots first. 567 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 7: Okay, all right, well, thank you so thank you so much. 568 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. Thank you. Let's get the bill bill welcome. 569 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 8: Okay, thank you, Gerry. I'm home in Arizona for fifteen years, 570 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 8: and we only live there occasionally. And I've got a 571 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 8: number of strategies I've used over the years. Instead of 572 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 8: a house watcher or a reminder, as you suggested that 573 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 8: I'd like to share as far as I can do 574 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 8: everything through Wi Fi these days, it's all all over time, 575 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 8: of course. But now I've got my HVAC system. I 576 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 8: can turn it on and off, monitor it, take care 577 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 8: of all. It's a carrier product. Excuse me, my irrigation system. 578 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 8: I can monitor it. I can turn it on and off. 579 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,240 Speaker 1: I've got that on my phone. 580 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, well, I don't have that yet, but I've 581 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 8: got outdoor I've got outdoor cameras through Simple through my 582 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 8: security system, I've got indoor cameras. The refrigerator has been 583 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 8: the issue for me over the years because I had 584 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 8: no way to confirm that it was on, and we 585 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 8: never emptied it and turned it off. So I've got 586 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 8: a water sensor on the outside refrigerator on the floor 587 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 8: in case it would shut down and start to leak, 588 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 8: you know, a water on the floor. And then recently 589 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 8: I found through my weather station vendor, they make a 590 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 8: monitor I can put in the refrigerator, so on my phone, 591 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 8: I can the temperature of the refrigerator on the inside 592 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 8: me whether whether it's working or not. And it's like, 593 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 8: see what else on that. 594 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: That's the one that scares me more than anything, to 595 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: be honest with you. Yeah, I've got a refrigerator I 596 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: bought two years ago, a nice ge refrigerator. I am 597 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: on my first fourth service call. Wow, yeah, I was right. 598 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: I had the same one for twenty five years, had 599 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: one service call. Yeah, I here, you're the dead not 600 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: unplug it. 601 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 8: Yeah. And I on my motor vehicles, I've got two. 602 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:45,439 Speaker 8: I've got battery reminders on them, not not trickle chargerminders 603 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 8: through a company so called c Tech, and they're a 604 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 8: really high end minders, but they keep the batteries optimized 605 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 8: and they keep them from sulfating. Which is a big 606 00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 8: issue with with acid batteries. But as far as the 607 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 8: water system is concerned, I've got what's called a mow 608 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 8: and flow unit on our water system that even the 609 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 8: text micro leaks. Right run's a micro leak test about 610 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 8: once a week. I can also shut it off and 611 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 8: I get a weekly report from it as well. But 612 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 8: right now i've got it shut off, I can remotely 613 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 8: turn the water back on, turn it off. You know. 614 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 1: I discovered those just kind of going through our insurance. 615 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 1: We were getting new bids on and I knew they existed, 616 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: and this person, this broker that we were working with, 617 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: had said, you can get like a two hundred and 618 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: fifty dollars a year rebate on having one of those 619 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: on your home. Really, yeah, and they had, and I 620 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: can recall they had three specific brands, but it was 621 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: just as you describe it. I haven't delved into it. 622 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: That was just a couple of weeks ago. 623 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 8: Well, they're not cheap because you actually have to install 624 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,359 Speaker 8: a valve, so you need a plumber to do it 625 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 8: unless you're a lot more skilled than I am. But 626 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 8: once you've got it, you set it up on your 627 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 8: home Wi Fi, then you can monitor it, you can, 628 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 8: you can manipulate it. It's got all kinds of and 629 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 8: it learns how you use your house. Right, so there's 630 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 8: a learning period of like two weeks, so it knows 631 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 8: when you're flushing a toilet, when you're taking a shower, 632 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 8: whenever you're doing. It learns the patterns and behavior in 633 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 8: the house. And when something odd happens, it shuts the 634 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 8: water off, it send you alert. 635 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah you know this. Yeah, I'm gonna look into that one. 636 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: In fact, I was just kind of doing that on 637 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 1: a wing and a prayer when I start talking about, 638 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, preparing your house. But during the week, I 639 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: was thinking, oh, I'll try to remember to go through that, 640 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: and I was thinking you could do a whole security 641 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: thing with with just what you and I are talking about, 642 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: you know, with the communication. It's just amazing, with the cameras, 643 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 1: with the monitoring. The sump pump they have that too, 644 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: Zalor has one, and you can test your some pump. 645 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: You can monitor your some pump if it's not activated, 646 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: when it's activated, you can test it and see it 647 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: get activated. The garage store and all the things that 648 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: you talked about, and they are they are they are 649 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: little products that give you great peace of mind. So 650 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: I thank you so much for calling. I appreciate it. 651 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: And speaking of thank you, thank you to Danny.
