1 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: All right, weekend is upon us. Thanks for joining us. 2 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: This our is brought to you by Rota Ruter and 3 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: uh rain Feet. You know, we're just talking about some pumps, 4 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: and I know Rotter certainly uses zlor pumps and they 5 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: can replace that old some pump, install battery, backup pump 6 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: and give you that extra layer of protection and prevention. 7 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: The worst case and you waited too long, maybe the 8 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: basement is flooded. Rotor Ruter also provides fast, professional water 9 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: cleanup and drying services rotoreruter dot com or you can 10 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: call them an eight hundred g roto. We thank them 11 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: for their sponsorship at this hour of at home with 12 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: Gary Sullivan. By the way, just a quick thing, I 13 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: did just a quick check on the plastic pipe for 14 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:32,839 Speaker 1: the vent pipe. You know, I didn't ask what vent pipe. 15 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: We were both going along the directions of a plumbing 16 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: vent pipe and those do need to be sealed. And 17 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: also one of the reasons is that it is not 18 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: the plumbing one and it's actually a vent pipe coming 19 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: off you know, a furnace or something along nose lines 20 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: or of carbon monoxide. You know, if it wasn't tightly 21 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: fit comes into play. So I I don't you know. 22 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: It didn't sound right to me, But you know, sometimes 23 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: geographically maybe, but I don't think so. I think those 24 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: need to be sealed. And again they're not under water 25 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: pressure or anything. They're not gonna leak. It fits tight, 26 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: but I think they need to be sealed. All right. 27 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: That being said, let me give you the phone number again. 28 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred eight two three eight two five five 29 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: lines are open and Mike welcome. Hello, Yes, sir, hey, I. 30 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: Have a question. I have an outdoor sprinkler system on 31 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: the ground system and it comes in from the house, 32 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 2: comes out from the house and goes into the ground. 33 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: There's two spickets, one a drain sticket to drain off 34 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: the water, and then another one I can hook up 35 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: my hose. So over the winter it cracked. The one 36 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: metal piece cracked. It's it's like a metal manifold, and 37 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 2: then two metal turnoffs and then the rest is PVC. Well, 38 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: the PVC and the metal come together. It's a screw in. 39 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: That piece screws in. It's leaking there. And then I 40 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 2: had to cut open, cut off the PVC to get 41 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: the to put in a new turnoff. And I can't 42 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: get this. The seal of the PVC to stop leaking. 43 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: So like I put the glue around it and I 44 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 2: stick it in. I twist it, but I only can 45 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: twist one end because the other end, if once it's solid, 46 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: has to go on to the other side to put 47 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 2: it back together. So it comes up like a U. 48 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: Is there something I could put? 49 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: Like? 50 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: Is there a different type of glue or something I can. 51 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: I did? 52 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: I put primer on both the inside and the outside. 53 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: I scuffed up the outside of the little there's like 54 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: a little seven seven insection that goes from the one 55 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: turn off to where the water comes out of the house. 56 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: I scruffed up both ends of that. Scruffed up the 57 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: inside of the of the t and the piece that 58 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: screwed into the manifold. And it stills leaking. And it's 59 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: not it's not like a poor It's just like one 60 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: little drip drip drip drip. 61 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: So I you know, the plumbing issues when we're talking 62 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: about can can get you confused quickly. So where it's 63 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: leaking is that's the plastic going into a fitting that 64 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: goes to the manifold. Is that correct? 65 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: Yes, there's there's a screwing piece. I screw that into 66 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: the manifold that turns it off. You know, the on 67 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: off is metal piece turns it on and off. Ball 68 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: the ball joint like a little lever thing that metal, 69 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: that's metal. I have the piece that screws in that 70 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: I can connect the PVC to that's leaking. I put 71 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: like eighty or nine rote wraps of pipe tape on 72 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 2: it and I cranked it down as heart as far 73 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: as it would go. Okay, I felt like it was 74 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 2: going to break. Yeah, it's waking there just a little bit, 75 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: like I said. And then where I put the PVC 76 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: pipe into that connection, right, it's leaking there like I 77 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 2: put it in. My twist it. 78 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: So it's leaking in two places. Two places. 79 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: It's leaking in two places there. Yes, And I can't 80 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: once I connect it, you can't tighten it anymore because 81 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: of the PVC. 82 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: No, you can put a union in there. That might 83 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: be something you want to do too. Put a PVC 84 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: union in there. A union will let you tighten that, 85 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: but but to kind of go back in the process. 86 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: So here's here's the thing. If you've taped it and 87 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: it's screwing into that valve, into that ball valve, yes that. 88 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's no big surprise here. I mean, 89 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: you put a couple strands of the teftl on tape 90 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: around it and tighten it in there, you should be 91 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: good to go. Okay, Okay, So if it's leak in there, 92 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: I don't know why that would be leaking. 93 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: Okay, it's a new it's a new ball. That's the 94 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: one that broke. So it's a new ball joint. So 95 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: I can't imagine that it would be worn away. 96 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: No, that's why I said I I knew that valve 97 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: was that ball. Valve is new. So if it's tight 98 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: and it's got teflon tape in it, I don't know 99 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: why it's leaking. That's okay. It's pretty straightforward, a pretty 100 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: straightforward fix. So I don't know what would be causing that. 101 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 2: Okay. So the other piece then, where the PBC goes 102 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 2: in the little the pipe, the straight pipe goes into 103 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: that connection, right, how do I get that to stop leaking? 104 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: Well, again, it sounds pretty straightforward. Again, we've scuffed it, 105 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: We've put a primer on it, and we put a 106 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: glue on it. 107 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 2: I mean, is it now I'm using the glue. I'm 108 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: using is maybe a couple of years old, and it's 109 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: been sitting outside in my garage. Possible, and I lived 110 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,239 Speaker 2: up by the lake. Could it just be that the glues. 111 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 2: I need a better glue. 112 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: Well, I would read the directions and talk about the 113 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: cautions on it. You know, if you got a garage 114 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: and you don't have an insulated garage door and it 115 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: could have froze and falled and frozen falled, I would 116 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: say that would be compromised. If it's an insulated door 117 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: and it's stored at forty five degrees year round, it's 118 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: probably not compromised. 119 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So I'll try new I'll try new glue. Yeah, 120 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: I mean you're probably children. 121 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean they're both pretty straight fixes. And I 122 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: don't see where a mistake was made at all. 123 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, then it must be the glu. 124 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: I would think so. But even on that tefl on tape, 125 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: I don't know why that wouldn't be unless we got 126 00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: too much on there. 127 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I put like six or seven roads. 128 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I mean. Usually when you'll take the 129 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: tape and you wrap it around tight, you can still 130 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: see the threads. 131 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: Right. 132 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 1: You don't want their threads covered up, so that would 133 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: be of everything you've said, that's the only thing that 134 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: when you were saying it to me, I was like, hmm, 135 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, if you got six coats of it, you 136 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: can't see the threads in it's leaking. It may not, 137 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: that may be the cause of it. 138 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: Maybe too much, okay. 139 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, So just a tight wrap around the threads where 140 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: you still see the threads and thread it in there 141 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: and start there and maybe it is the bad glue, 142 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: but the procedures that you're telling me, and that's what 143 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: you would do. 144 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: Okay. So let me ask you this question. Is there 145 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: something So let's say I try this again, because this 146 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: will be the third time that I've cut this piece 147 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: out to get to replace it. Let's say it's still 148 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: leaking where the pipe goes into the fitting, not the 149 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: screwing part. I get that part fixed, it's still Is 150 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: there something I can put on the outside of that scene, 151 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 2: like when the pipe goes into the sitting to seal 152 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: that better. I like, I know, if I'm doing it 153 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 2: in the house, I can use plumbers dope for a 154 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 2: little league and pack that in there. Is there something 155 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: that will work outside? 156 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, it's not something I'd recommend, but there is something. 157 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: You know, there's plumbing epoxy, and there's rescue tape which 158 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: would stand up to the water pressure. Rescue tape. It 159 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: hears itself to itself. I mean, you can even patch 160 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: the radiator hoses on a car with it if you 161 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: wanted to. But ideally we wouldn't have to use that. 162 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: I mean, let's get some. Let's get some. You know, 163 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: you got the primer and you got the get some 164 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: new glue and let's see if that doesn't take care 165 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: of it.

Tim welcome, Oh. 222 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 7: Hi, thanks for being there, Yes, sir quick quick thought 223 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 7: on that last one too. I don't know exactly what 224 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 7: he had going, but water being what it is, and 225 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 7: especially slow drip drip, Uh, maybe it wasn't coming from where. 226 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: He thought it was, you know what I was thinking that. 227 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: I was thinking that too, that if that tape it 228 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: sounded like, didn't it sound like the teflon tape was 229 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: way too thick. 230 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 7: Possibly I've had the same kind of thing and find 231 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 7: it coming out from somewhere else and following the pipe 232 00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 7: and not coming from where I think it is. 233 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: Well, here's what I think. I think he put too many, 234 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: too many, you know, six strands around. That's a lot, 235 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: and I got a feeling that wasn't sealed. And I 236 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: think his second leak down on the pipe itself could 237 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: have been the water from the one that goes into 238 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: the ball valve. Yeah. In other words, the leak is water. 239 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: It could it could leaks the same leak. Yeah, I 240 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: don't know that. I'm guessing too hard to say without 241 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: seeing it. 242 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 7: Oh well, hey, how onto My problem all right, been 243 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 7: in two and a half years and two times now 244 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 7: when we had some really heavy rain or snow melt. 245 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 7: I got a little bit of just a little bit 246 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 7: of water into the basement, So got a camera up there. 247 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 7: I think I solve half of it. And I've got 248 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 7: another strange part. So the down spouts the house settled, 249 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 7: the Downsbougs had perforated pipe going away from him, except 250 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 7: it wasn't going away because the house settled, and it 251 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 7: was coming back towards the house. So I put sdr 252 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 7: in there, good solid stuff, and it drains way away 253 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 7: from the house. So I think I eliminated eighty to 254 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 7: ninety percent of the water that's getting down there to 255 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 7: begin with. 256 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: So that's good. 257 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 7: But uh, then I put a camera down in the 258 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 7: foundation drain and two things. One looks like there's some 259 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 7: sway backs here and there. So there's spots where, you know, 260 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 7: when I first come down, the pipes dry, but as 261 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 7: I go further in the camera goes into water, and 262 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 7: while I was doing that is running a bunch of 263 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 7: water through the pipe, and I'm seeing there's probably the 264 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 7: apperforated pipe around the foundation drain itself, little clouds of 265 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 7: I guess, play coming into the pipe, and I've got 266 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 7: working and digging around there. I've got this really insidious 267 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 7: play that you know, gets everywhere and hard to wash off, 268 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 7: and I'm wondering if maybe there wasn't an gravel put 269 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 7: in to filter it out, if I have to dig 270 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 7: it up cauld I maybe put a sock on it, 271 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 7: or is there some kind of something they could put 272 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 7: on the inside that filter that out or well not 273 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 7: the possibility is put to some pump at the other 274 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 7: end of the house where they may have shifted to. 275 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously the whole issue is a higher water table 276 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: just because there is water not being evacuated from the foundation. 277 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: So you're you're so that's that's what's causing it. I 278 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: think we both agree on that. And then the real 279 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: question is so why, you know, it's always why, And 280 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: it sounds like something's getting into that pipe to clog 281 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: that pipe and not evacuate all the water. 282 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 7: So right when you run a jet or even just 283 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 7: a camera sometimes bust it through that clay. You'll get 284 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 7: a whole spot where the clay there you bust through 285 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 7: that and then it all drained out. Yeah, like a 286 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 7: maintenance thing. 287 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's kind of what I'm thinking. More of 288 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: a maintenance thing because really we're not going to do 289 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: much about the gravel at this point, right unless you're 290 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: digging the whole thing. 291 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, which I don't want to. 292 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, which you don't want to do, and then as 293 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: a sock going on it that that's not going to 294 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: really be an issue. There is for waistlines where you 295 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: put in instead of replacing a waistline, where you align 296 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: a waistline, but on a perforated drainage pipe, that would 297 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: be a mass it's not going to allow moisture in. 298 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 7: So yeah, that's what made me think about it. 299 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 3: You know that maybe they could do some kind of 300 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 3: netting or mesh. 301 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 8: Maybe that's a technology. 302 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so there there is something you know, this's 303 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: thermal heatd epoxy that would line a pipe, but that 304 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't really work for that drain pipe, so I don't know, uh, 305 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, maybe just jetting something, uh, jetting water through there. 306 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: Cleaning that out might be an option. 307 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, and you're just running the hoe down the clean 308 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 7: out to help. But right, it's a recur I think 309 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 7: it's a recurring problem. 310 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: Yeah. I wonder how long it would take before it 311 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: becomes a problem where the water table would actually rise though. 312 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: In other words, if we jetted and clean that out, 313 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: you know, is that going to last you know, two 314 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: rainstorms or is it going to last five years? 315 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 2: Right? 316 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 7: I think the other other side of the equation too, 317 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 7: is because of the settling, there's spots in that pipe 318 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 7: where it doesn't drain towards the sum the drains it 319 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 7: fits in that pipe or train. 320 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: Away, right, And that's a possibility. I mean, there's a 321 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: lot of houses when we have this problem of water 322 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: seeping into a basement, and you even have the old 323 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: drainage pipes that are clay around the house or something. 324 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: A lot of times the actual drainage pipes around the 325 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: house aren't even functioning. I know that's not your case, 326 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: but I'm saying, you know, if it's Yeah, if it's 327 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: got little dips and grooves and it's not flushing at 328 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: all out, that can certainly add to the problem, all Right, 329 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: we'll continue with your calls.

Because I'm 392 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 10: sure it's deep in there. 393 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well there are you know, oil removers and 394 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: a transmission fluid would be an oil type product. So 395 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: you know there's you know, in the big box stores, 396 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: there's probably one you'll find. It's made by a company 397 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: called crud Cutter. It's k r U D k U 398 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: T T e R. There's also other oil and gas 399 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: stain removers that can be put on there, allowed to 400 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: sit and that stain out. If you're looking for a 401 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: more industrialists. Well, I was just getting ready to say, 402 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: if you're looking for something very unique and you got 403 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: to get it online. But it's available. In fact, they 404 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: used it in the BP oil spill in the in 405 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: the Gulf. Choose a lot in refineries. It's called act Cleaner. 406 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: Act Cleaner. It's really weird. It is a live microbe. 407 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: It's a powder. You put it on an oil stain 408 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: and you let it be and it will literally dissolve 409 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: the oil stain. It may take ten days, it may 410 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: take two days. Probably in years is probably going to 411 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: take ten days and eventually that powder is going to 412 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: dissipate along with the oil stain. Okay, and that's what 413 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: I would use. But you can get it online. It's 414 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: act clean dot com. 415 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 10: Would it help to powerwash that stain first to alleviate 416 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 10: anything on the surface or no. 417 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll make any difference. It's not gonna 418 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: hurt anything either, so I don't know that's for to try. 419 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 2: It's more aggressive. 420 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: Yep, it'll take a little longer, but it will. I've 421 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: never had it found me. 422 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 8: That's fine. 423 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: I have no problem with waiting. Very good, Thank you man, Jerry, 424 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: appreciate it. You bet, you take care. Yeah, that it's 425 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: a it's a it's a strange product, though, isn't it. 426 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean it literally will just disappear, and it's kind 427 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: of over a course of time. But there's no scrubbing, 428 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: there's nothing uh involved there. Let's go to Doug. Doug, welcome, Hello, 429 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: How are you Gary doing fine? Thank you? 430 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 3: Good good. I have two questions if you have time 431 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 3: to answer them both. The first one is we're got 432 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 3: a prefab FIBs shower. We're got some mold in the 433 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: base there where the clock is, so we're taking the 434 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 3: clock out. Okay, it seems like it's really really in 435 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 3: there deep. We've got most of the mold out and 436 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 3: it's pretty clean in there, but I'm not one hundred 437 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 3: percent up against the panels. Can I use some silicone 438 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 3: to go over what I've done so far? Or should 439 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 3: I get it all out? 440 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: If you can get it out, I'd really recommend you 441 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: getting it out, I really would. We always have issues 442 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: sometimes with adhesions from one or the other, and if 443 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: you can get it out, I'd get it out. Otherwise 444 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: you run the risk of calocking it and having it leak, 445 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: and then you got two layers to get out. Okay, 446 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: The actual adhesion. A lot of people think calking is 447 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: kind of like creating a plug, and in a way 448 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: it is, But when you put it into a crevice, 449 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: the actual adhesion that's really functioning is the adhesions inside 450 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: that crevice on the side walls, if you will. 451 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: Okay, And we. 452 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: Do get in trouble even when people over apply the 453 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: caking and we start filling that whole thing. It's you're 454 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: wasting calking and it's not necessary. But you do have 455 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: to get it into crevice, and I get it that 456 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: is difficult to get. I I there is a a 457 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: cockery moving tool that probably is under seven bucks. It's 458 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: a hard piece of plastic with a hook, and you 459 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: know it's the problem is getting it started. But if 460 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: you get that hook behind that, you can you can 461 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: remove that fairly easily. Now I'm not gonna say easily, 462 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: but makes it a lot easier. 463 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 2: Okay. 464 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 3: Would you recommend a blue tape or green painters tape? 465 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 3: When I calok, I was going to tape off some 466 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 3: of it to prevent the cock from going crazy? 467 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, what kind of calking you're going to use? You 468 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: know yet? 469 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 3: Silicon? Did ge? Silicon? 470 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: Used the blue, then used the blue? 471 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: Okay? 472 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, the green activates with water, so like the frog tape. 473 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: So if you were going to use an krylic siliconized 474 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: clocking that's got moisture in it, but use the blue tape, 475 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: that'd be fine. 476 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 2: Okay, I'll use that. 477 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 3: Another quick question garage floor. I've got some pitting from salt. 478 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 3: I want to repaint it. I painted it eight years 479 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 3: ago and now was starting to come up again. Do 480 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 3: I have to sand everything down to the bar concrete again? 481 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: Yeah? Unfortunately? So what what what did you use on 482 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: there to paint? 483 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 3: It was like a porch paint okay, and I you 484 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 3: know it was a concrete It was a paint for outside. 485 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 3: I believe it was a concrete paint for patios and 486 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 3: that type of thing. And you know, it's finally starting 487 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 3: to come up. 488 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: So is it pulling up where the tires are or 489 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: where is it pulling up? 490 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 3: Well, it's really just and tear. There was a few 491 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 3: places here and there in the summertime that maybe I 492 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 3: can pull up a little piece here and there, but 493 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 3: it's really it's still binding pretty good. It's just wearing 494 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 3: out and from the car's going into and out with salt. 495 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's not in a POxy or anything. 496 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 3: No, it's not. 497 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: Huh do you boy? I wish I knew what type 498 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: of pain it was because, first of all, eight years 499 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: is really good. Okay. Second of all, if it was 500 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: just an outside like porch and floor paint, that should 501 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: have failed after about a year because when you're driving, 502 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: your tires get very hot, and if that paint wasn't 503 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: designed for a garage floor, those hot tires, like putting 504 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: an iron on it, it'll pull that paint up. And 505 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: that didn't happen. So that's what that's why I'm questioning, 506 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, what'd you use there? 507 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,719 Speaker 3: Because home depot something from home depot. I can't recall 508 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: it actually that i'd it fight. 509 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: So if it and I'll just give you if if 510 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: you find what you're trying to or what you're going 511 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: to use, you know, read the directions and make sure 512 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: number one that that's for a garage floor and will 513 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: resist hot tire pickup because I'd hate to see you 514 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: go to all this work and then have it fail. 515 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: So make sure it has that. That's number one. Number two, 516 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: read the directions and then make a decision whether you 517 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: want to go for it, not remove it, or you 518 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: want to remove it. I always tell people when you 519 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: most paint cans will tell you remove it. Okay, especially 520 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,959 Speaker 1: on a garage floor. It's going to say remove existing coding. 521 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: But read the directions see if it says that. And 522 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: if there's a little failing. I always tell people, why 523 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: would you paint paint that's already failing, because then the 524 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: top paint's going to fail. But if it's a little 525 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: bit here and there, maybe we scuff that that up, 526 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: and I don't know, you know, it'll probably tell you 527 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: to remove it. We don't really know what's on there, 528 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: which also makes it difficult. If it isn't a doxy 529 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: or it's a solvent, and then you get a water base. 530 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: You're going to open up a big can of worms. 531 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 2: Okay, Okay. 532 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 3: The other question I have about the pitting. Should I 533 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 3: use something I know I've heard you advertise, like that 534 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 3: roller rock? 535 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 2: Should I put? 536 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 3: If I clean it all up real good and then 537 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 3: cover up fill in some of the pitting with some 538 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 3: type of epoxy, then then I could paint it. Is 539 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 3: that roller rock kind of the item that would be 540 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 3: best for that? 541 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: Well, you could you could use that. There's a couple 542 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: of things. Roller rock is a coating that can be 543 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: used on garage floors. Okay, it's a coating. It's not 544 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: a paint, so it might be thick enough to cover 545 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: up that pitting anyway, Okay, if it's if you want 546 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: to be sure it's going to cover it up. There's 547 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: two products you can use. Quick Creete makes one called 548 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: Vinyl Concrete Patcher. It's a powder. You mix it with 549 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: water and you put it on there. You can take 550 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: a trial and just you know, just smooth that area 551 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: out and then you cover it with whatever you want 552 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: to cover it. But the roller rock is a thick uh, 553 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: it's a thick coating, so it may add color and 554 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: work as your paint and fill that it will tell 555 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: you to remove the previous coating. 556 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so best to you to grind her 557 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 3: and do what I have to do. 558 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: Then, yeah, I think so, I think so. 559 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 3: Okay, Gary, all right, I appreciate your help and advice. 560 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 3: Thanks very much. 561 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome.

I know 630 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 8: the one gentleman a few minutes ago called in and said, Dad, 631 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 8: he had some uh transmission fluid on some concrete. Uh huh, 632 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 8: and uh, I think what you offered was a good idea, 633 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 8: another idea. It's a it's a relatively easy and uh 634 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 8: pret cost a lot less. Maybe I don't know, but 635 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 8: I head forward a brand new concrete pad. It had 636 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 8: been a few months old, and we had a hydraulic 637 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 8: hose burst on a piece of equipment and got it 638 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 8: all over it. And of course you can imagine the 639 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 8: panic set in, like what're you gonna do here on 640 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 8: a customer's driveway? But uh so what the solution that 641 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 8: we came up with and what we found worked really good, 642 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,959 Speaker 8: and I maybe we took it back to almost brand 643 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 8: new to looking again, was and get your little scrub 644 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 8: it with some hot water and if you can find 645 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 8: a degrease or maybe a good zep orange. If you 646 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 8: can't find that makes you put a little acid toad, 647 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 8: put a little acid toade on it, Okay, and just 648 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 8: go to your local hardware store and get you a 649 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 8: little Portland cement. Go the Portland cement on there, let 650 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 8: it sit for twenty four hours, sweep it away, and 651 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 8: if you have to readdress it again, then you know, 652 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 8: second application. But it worked amazing for us. 653 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: Cool. You know. You bring up a good point too, 654 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 1: And I didn't ask him how long it was there. 655 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,919 Speaker 1: That does work very well, and there's also a couple 656 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: other home remedies that work very well if it's a 657 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: real news stain, which yours was. I don't think his 658 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: was only because he said I feel like it's been 659 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: there and it's penetrated pretty deep. But I don't know 660 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: what that means. I'm just saying, but using the greasers 661 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 1: and even kitty litter. Seriously, if it's a fresh stain, 662 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,280 Speaker 1: an oil based stain, use a degrease or just soak 663 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: it with that and taking kitty litter and sprinkling over it, 664 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 1: just kind of stomping on it and grinding the kitty 665 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: litter in. In a lot of cases we'll remove that 666 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: stain also, so uh, the zep orange good stuff, no doubt. 667 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: And the Portland cement I haven't really heard that, so 668 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: I'll take that as a tip for sure. 669 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean yeah, with the Portland cement being the 670 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 8: natural product, right, concrete it somehow it drawls it right 671 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 8: out of there. Yeah, that's kind of the kind of 672 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 8: the effort to put a little bit of acetone on it, 673 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 8: which is simple enough to get at your lows on depot. Also, sure, 674 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 8: hopefully we'll open up, open up a little bit of 675 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,879 Speaker 8: the pores, louse some of that Portland cement to kind 676 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,879 Speaker 8: of right stuff that oil right out of there. 677 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: Sure give me so. 678 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 8: I know he said it was about two years old, 679 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 8: so you might be right. It could be set in there. 680 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 8: But yeah, you know, you know it's it's worth to 681 00:39:58,840 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 8: try you some people. 682 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, she'd us. 683 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,919 Speaker 8: An old bag of quick Greek concrete.
