1
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: All right, the weekend is upon us. Welcome. You're at

2
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: home with Gary Sullivan. Is that was brought to buy.

3
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: Zalar Zolor is the industry gold standard for some pumps,

4
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: the battery backup systems. To protect your home. Be sure

5
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: to test your some pump in the system regularly if

6
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: you're not quite sure how old it is or whether

7
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: it's working or anything along nose lines.

8
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Very very important.

9
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take your calls regarding your home projects.

10
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: It's eight hundred and eighty two three eight two five.

11
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: Go ahead, jump on board. Love to talk to you

12
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: about what you're working on around your home. And uh,

13
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know how'd you make out. I mean,

14
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: it's still cold, you see, you know the southeast and Charlotte,

15
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: I think they hit about seven inches and all through

16
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: the mountains cold.

17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: In Florida it's in the thirties.

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: So it's a cold winter and that always spells issues for.

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: The house, that's for sure.

20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: And one thing I'd like to kind of start off

21
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: today because by the way, the phone lines are open

22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: if you're having an issue. I'd also kind of like

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: to know what kind of issues you're having, and that

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 2: could be snow and ice dams that could be, first

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: pipes that could be and weird noises in your house.

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: Will address those two vent pipes for furnaces, on and

27
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: on and on, and happy to uh certainly take your

28
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: calls regarding that. Again, our phone number is eight hundred

29
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: eighty two three eight two five five. And we weren't

30
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: here yesterday. We were kind of stuck into travel messes

31
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: across the country. I don't know if you've been reading

32
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: about those, but that's been a little challenging. Then my

33
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: day continues to be challenging because my computer just said

34
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: a little better and then just went blank.

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: So that's the way things go. That's the way things.

36
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: I noticed that.

37
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: You notice that, Yeah, because you dropped off.

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if I even have a power cord

40
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: going in.

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: I got to check that up. But we'll do that

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: in the break.

43
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: In the meantime, you can grab a line and also

44
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: want to talk some precautions in the spring, in the summer,

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: even well year round. We're always kind of talking about

46
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: basements and leaks and cross spaces that get you know,

47
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: very damp. That can happen right now too, regardless of

48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: how cold it is right now. I saw it the

49
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: other day and I went, ugh, and that is somebody

50
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: who's using a snowblower and they were blowing all the

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: snow right up against the foundation. And I thought, oh, no,

52
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: you know, eventually had melts. Eventually that melts. And in

53
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: this one particular one, I couldn't see it. I wasn't

54
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: at the house. I was dropping something off at somebody's

55
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: house and just handed it and left. But on the

56
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: side of the house where the foundation was, it was

57
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: actually on the other house. They had blown all the

58
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: snow up against the foundation. And not only up against

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: the foundation, but they had windows for their basement and

60
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: they didn't have window wells, they didn't have covers, so

61
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: they had these, I guess I would call them horizontal

62
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: slider windows for the basement. And the window was half

63
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: packed with snow. And when that, of course begins to melt, uh,

64
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: you've you've got a problem because as it's melting, it's

65
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: looking for the path of least resistance that we always

66
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: talk about, and maybe it's straight down on the ground.

67
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 2: And really, if you got a couple feet of snow

68
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: that you've blown up on the foundation, and that starts.

69
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: You know, at some point it's gonna melt. Maybe it's

70
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: gonna melt real fast. Made it's gonna melt real slow.

71
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 2: We hope real slow. But if it melts real fast,

72
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: that's just like a you know, cloud gutters or a

73
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: deluge r rain. You can't get that foundation. You can't

74
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: get that snow or that water away from the foundation.

75
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: And it's right there and down at the base where

76
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: you got the natural scene, between the wall and the floor,

77
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: it begins to seep in. Plus there's other things. If

78
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: you have shoveled and tossed the snow there, used the

79
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: snow blown, blew it up against the foundation, there's a fence,

80
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: and maybe it's not gonna kill you. For a dry

81
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: ire van, you're probably not gonna pack that with snow.

82
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: Maybe a little cold air gets in, maybe a little

83
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: snow gets in. But where you're intaken, I'll take for

84
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: a furnace, a high efficiency furnace. If you cover those up,

85
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 2: it can't bring air in, it can't create combustion, it

86
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: can't create home in your house.

87
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: It's just shut down. Yeah.

88
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: So when you're I know, you're micro focused on trying

89
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: to get that snow off the driveways and sidewalks. But

90
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: if you're throwing it right onto the foundation, really you're

91
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: not helping yourself. I mean, in fact, you're probably causing

92
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: some issues. When I was talking about the snow on

93
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: the side of the foundation where the basement windows were,

94
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: and then that was now an ice pack or a snowpack,

95
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how tight those windows are. I don't

96
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: know how tight you're with knows are. I'm not even

97
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: real sure how tight my windows are, especially down into

98
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: the basement. And is water once that starts melting away,

99
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 2: is water just going to find its place and cause

100
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: that problem where water starts leaking in between the windows.

101
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: I hope not. I hope not.

102
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: So again, if you'd like to join us and talk

103
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: about that for sure, And have you noticed had this

104
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: conversation with somebody else, have you noticed how much Obviously

105
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: if you were in an area where you've had a

106
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: lot of snow and ice, I guarantee you that you

107
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: have some major issues with salt residue. Not the biggest

108
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: problem right now, but it will turn in to a

109
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: big issue. I can almost guarantee that I'm not encouraging

110
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: do that right now. Obviously, some people are still well

111
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: below zero. Some people still have you know, a foot

112
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: of snow in their yard and on their driveway. But

113
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: with all that accumulation of salt, when it does get

114
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: to the point of falling, some of that will be

115
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: washed off, but not all of it. And even if

116
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: you if you have a nice sunny day and it

117
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: gets up to twenty today, get that broom out there

118
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: and at least uh, sweep, sweep that salt that residue

119
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: off the concrete driveways, because when it starts melting and

120
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: you start adding the concoction of water and that salt residue, it's, uh,

121
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a little bit of an issue. It's

122
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 2: gonna get very very corrosive, and you're gonna start having

123
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: some issues like spawling, cracking, different things along those lines,

124
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: which is going to be troublesome. So just keep that

125
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: in mind. And inside that garage, the same thing will

126
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: take place. If you're pulling you know, out driving the

127
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: car and running errands whatever, and you're pulling it into

128
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: the garage and the snow and ice and everything and

129
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: the salt combination in there is dropping and hitting the

130
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: garage floor and the melting at some point, and hopefully

131
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: not too long from now. That's gonna melt and we're

132
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: gonna get it warm enough in there we can at

133
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: least hose that stuff out.

134
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: How cold did your garage get?

135
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: You got a thermometer in there, That's another thing I

136
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: was really paying attention to. I've got a insulat garage door,

137
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: but it's also about twenty five years old. It's not

138
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: the super insulat that they have now. And I was

139
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: just checking the thermometer on that. They have a thermometer

140
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: built into I'm not that crazy, built into the opener encloser,

141
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: and I was running the lowest I sault was thirty

142
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: eight degrees, so it's staying above freezing. But I know

143
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: a lot of people. You don't have the insulated garage door,

144
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: you don't have the insulated walls, or if you have

145
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: an insulate garage door, it's not you know, ceiling real good.

146
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: Maybe the weather stripping has been torn, maybe the base

147
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: the bottom is uneven because there's ice, I don't know.

148
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: And then you get that real cold air in there,

149
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: and you got a little refrigerator and that baby will

150
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: quit working. So kind of a heads up there too,

151
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: all right, let me give you the phone number. It's

00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: Recently I visited Dozollar Pump Company in Louisville. We toured

158
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: the factory, the innovation building where they trained plumbers. We

159
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: got to see the attention to detail on every pump

160
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: they manufacturer, and of course the innovation behind it. Zalor's

161
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: a four generation family owned company, and you can tell

162
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: their people truly care. They care about quality, and that's

163
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: why so many plumbers recommend Zalor, and I do too.

164
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: If you need a some pump, grinder pump, you can't

165
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: go wrong with Azalar pump Ash your plumber, they'll agree

195
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 2: love to have your input on how you're battling all

196
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: the weather and how you and your house are doing.

197
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: It's eight hundred eight two three eight two five five.

198
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: So here's another question.

199
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a concern, maybe it's not, maybe it didn't

200
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: even happening. Is your house making weird noises? Do you

201
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: hear like popping and cracking mainly at night? I mean, seriously,

202
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: I mean, do you hear any bad when it gets

203
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: really cold in different parts of the country. It's really cold, right,

204
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: We got extreme cold warnings in different parts, and all

205
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: of a sudden you hear like a loud snapper crack

206
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: or a pop. Nothing really, I mean nothing really to

207
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: get too excited about. And chances are everything in your house, drywall, wood,

208
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: plastic pipes, they all expand and contract at different rates.

209
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: And one of the things that one of the main

210
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: culprits is so the building materials.

211
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Themselves are are fighting.

212
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: Right, they're pulling and pushing and expanding and contracting, and

213
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: they make these pops and these sounds. And if you

214
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 2: look at the attics, sometimes you'll see the truss is.

215
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: They're up and.

216
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: In the cavity of the attic, and it's really cold

217
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: up there. If it's really cold outside, it's really cold

218
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: in the attic. If you got good ventilation. You supposed

219
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: to have good ventilation, absolutely, But then down at the

220
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: bottom they may be buried in insulation. They're not cold there,

221
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: so you get that pulling in that popping and cracking

222
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: plastic pipes. A lot of times there's a little jyhook

223
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: that has a plastic pipe connected to like the wall

224
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: stud inside the wall which is stuffed with insulation, but

225
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: a part of it maybe isn't covering the pipe at

226
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: the top and it's real cold and the bottom's real warm.

227
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: That's what's causing that noise. So just don't panic. But

228
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: that's a very very good chance of what's going on.

229
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: All right.

230
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: Again, our number is eight hundred and eighty two three

231
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: eight two five five.

232
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: Debbie, thanks for joining us.

233
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 4: Welcome, Well, you're welcome.

234
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: Gary.

235
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

236
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: If you picture this, I have what we called Cincinnati,

237
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: two story uh huh okay, and two bedrooms in the

238
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 4: front four windows. Well, I was driving up the street

239
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 4: yesterday and I look at my roof and there's a

240
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 4: three and a half foot circle in between the two

241
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: bedrooms on the roof where there's no snow. I thought it,

242
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 4: that's weird, and I didn't look. Yeah, there are no

243
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 4: it's the stairwells. There are no lights.

244
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: There.

245
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: What's on the other side of the ceiling there? Just

246
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: the open attic.

247
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have an open attic. I haven't We've never

248
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: used it as an attic. I haven't even looked up

249
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 4: there for years. But uh, just right smack in the

250
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 4: middle of the house, there snow on the roof about

251
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: three and a half foot in diameter, maybe yeah, three

252
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: and a half.

253
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: Well I can give you.

254
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: Maybe I can't solve the problem, but I can give

255
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: you some ideas. You know, it would not be like

256
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: that unless that area underneath, that cleared off area is

257
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: warmer than the rest of the roof.

258
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: So what could be there?

259
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 4: What could be So.

260
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: One of the things that came to mind. Don't know

261
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: if this is it, but it's an option. Is you

262
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: know upstairs bedrooms, right bedrooms, say, probably a bathroom up there,

263
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: bathrooms up there. Maybe an exhaust fan, yes, maybe turned on,

264
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: and it's you haven't been in that attic for a

265
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: long time, or maybe it was never vented outside. A

266
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: lot of them aren't, and it's you know, pulling out

267
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: that warm, steamy air.

268
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: It's hitting the underside of the roof.

269
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: It's causing the snow in that area to melt. It's

270
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: an option, and I think it's probably a pretty good option,

271
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, because I can't think of

272
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: anything else that would be I doubt if you have

273
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: any duck work that would be that, you know, high

274
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: up there to warm the underside of the roof.

275
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: But if there is some duck work.

276
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 2: Maybe connecting the bedrooms, you know, supplying it with heat,

277
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: and that duck work, if it's metal, it's just pushed together,

278
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: you know, to join it. Maybe it got loose and

279
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 2: maybe there's a gap. That's not unusual either. I just

280
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 2: doubt if there would be duck work up there in

281
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: that position, but it's a possibility something is warming that area,

282
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: and I think the only way you're really going to

283
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 2: figure it out is to kind of get up there

284
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: and see if you see anything. A lot of times

285
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: when it's really cold like that Debbie, which you're also

286
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: really cold.

287
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: In the attic.

288
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure the attic's probably thirty degrees or less,

289
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: and we're we got maybe some warm air or even

290
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 2: some warm air from like the bathroom that's also moisture lading.

291
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: You might actually find the underside of the roof, you know, damp, wet.

292
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 2: I mean, I've said in the show many times sometimes

293
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 2: you can almost make it rain in your attic when

294
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: you get really cold temperatures up there and you put

295
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: warm moist air in it. So you know, getting up

296
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: there with a flashlight, you might get your answer.

297
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll have to hire someone because you have to

298
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 4: climb up a ladder.

299
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. I don't get up my attic

300
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: gay more either.

301
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 4: So this area is probably three and a half four feet.

302
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

303
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I don't think it's the sun. Sometimes

304
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: you can get just a position and the sun can

305
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: melt it. I've also seen if there's a house next door,

306
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: if it got real sunny, the sun can hit their

307
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: window and create almost like a magnifying glass and create heat.

308
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: I've seen Vinyl sighting actually warp on the house next door.

309
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's it either, but it's a possibility

310
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: that could be melting it too, but I think it's

311
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: internally caused.

312

Speaker 2: Those lines are wide open, so feel free to grab one.

365
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: I was talking about, you know, the snow around foundations.

366
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: W is kind of us kind enough to give us

367
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: a call talking about a circular.

368
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: Melting patch on the roof.

369
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 2: And if you've heard me talking the last few days,

370
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: I've talked a lot about ice dams and snow dams

371
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: and ice dams and you know, kind of the whole

372
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: anatomy of an attic and how important insulation is and

373
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: how important ventilation is, and when you see a spot

374
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: or a good measure of how effective your insulation is

375
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 2: and your ventilation is. As if it's snow capped, and

376
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: everybody in the neighborhoods is the roof is covered with snow,

377
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: yahoo that's where it's supposed to be. But if your

378
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 2: house or another house is all of a sudden, I

379
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: don't know, a big circle, or the top two feet

380
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: or the middle two feet, there's snow melting that shouldn't

381
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: be happening. It's usually because of some warmth has got

382
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: into the attic and has warned the underside of the roof,

383
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: which has caused the snow on the roof to melt.

384
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: And as that melting takes place and migrates down to

385
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 2: the overhang of the house itself, where there is no heat,

386
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: it freezes and it starts very slowly, and it freezes

387
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: and freezes, and it builds a dam literally, so the

388
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: melt of the snowpack has nowhere to go. The water's

389
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: coming down, it hits that ice, that snowpack, and sometimes

390
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: it gets severe enough where it starts migrating up the

391
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: roof under the shingles into your house, and during harsh weather,

392
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 2: our house is telling us things, and that's one of

393
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: the things that's telling us. Sometimes it can be the

394
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: position of the house and the snow and things like that.

395
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: And make note of these things while you're going through it,

396
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 2: quite honestly, because you know, you know, the birds will

397
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: be singing, the temperatures will be warm, and life will

398
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: be great, and we'll forget about this, and you know

399
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: it'll repeat itself, rinse and repeat. It's going to happen again.

400
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 2: Whether the winter is that harsh or not, who knows,

401
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 2: but it will someday repeat. And one of the sure

402
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 2: fireways of eliminating eliminating that issue, obviously is to have

403
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 2: the at a conspected sandwich inslation. You have see if

404
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: you have open soft it's good ventilation. And if you

405
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 2: still you know, and checking all the boxes there, but

406
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: you still have this problem. Maybe you've got an area

407
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: where you get some drifting of snow and you get

408
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 2: a pretty big ice pack in there, and then the

409
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: sudden starts warm in that area and you start getting

410
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: melt and you create us, you know, an ice dam.

411
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: One of the things, as you can install gut or cables.

412
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: And you see those a lot in when you say

413
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 2: a lot out west and where there's a lot of

414
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: snow in the mountains and things like that, and these

415
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: gutter cables they will run in a saw tooth pattern,

416
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: run across the gutter line, so right where your snowpack

417
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: is now, okay, so it'll go up maybe a foot

418
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: and a half, and then come down in a saw

419
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: tooth pattern, go all the way across where that gutter

420
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 2: line is. And then this cable will lay in the

421
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: gutter and drop down into the downspout. And what it

422
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: does is it creates a heated zone. And the heated

423
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: zone is like thirty eight degrees. So what does that

424
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: do That keeps that ice pack from forming. It creates

425
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 2: enough warmth where an ice dam won't form, because you know,

426
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 2: you don't want that just because of the invasion of

427
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: water that can take place. So if you do have

428
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 2: adequate insulation and adequate ventilation, and we still kind of

429
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: see the problem, you know, gutter cables would be the

430
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 2: long term answer just creating creating the heat. So I

431
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: wanted to pass that along also along with the phone

432
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: number if you'd like to join us again. It's eight

433
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: hundred eight two three eight two five five other things

434
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 2: that will become a concern. Probably have uh Ron Kruegeran

435
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: as a guest within the next probably three weeks, and

436
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: he is our wildlife control specialist, because think about the

437
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: critters outside. They're hardy, all right, but they too are

438
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: looking for warmth. And soon the season, the maternity season

439
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: will be coming along. They're going to looking for a

440
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: place to nest. And as we and our houses have

441
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 2: experienced some issues with temperatures, expansion contractions, et cetera. I

442
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: was talking about how how wood and metal and plastic

443
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: and everything expand and contract at different paces, the same

444
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 2: is true outside.

445
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: Your home too.

446
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 2: You have aluminum gutters, you have brackets, you have wood,

447
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: and as they move, based on humidity levels and temperatures,

448
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: maybe seams, minor cuts, minor corners become open. And once

449
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: they're open, that is an invitation, quite honestly, for wildlife

450
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 2: to enter your home. Another attic issue, um and I'm

451
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 2: not asking you go out and take a look at

452
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: it now, but once things melt and things get a

453
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: little warmer, definitely check any openings or checked if the

454
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: gutters have been filled with ice. They will sag, they

455
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: will pull away from the house. There is a chance

456
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: that would up there may be soft maybe somewhat they

457
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: can scratch their way into the attic. They are experts

458
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: at survival, and there's a good chance that some areas

459
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: of our home, not all of them, but some areas

460
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: of our home will become compromised, and that leaves that

461
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: opportunity open, which can be destructive. It can be ensurable,

462
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: and it cannot be ensurable. Depends on whether they deem

463
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: that as not well maintained. Then it's un you in

464
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: some cases not with all insurance. But it's certainly that

465
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: spin is real and it's becoming trendy. If they determined

466
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: that home was well, the maintenance wasn't kept up on it,

467
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: and if it was, we wouldn't have had this problem.

468
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: So certainly want to give a little there. Also, if

469
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: you have have had in the past, maybe a crack

470
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: in the foundation, maybe it's cracked all the way up

471
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: through the brick, maybe it was a foot again, things

472
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: to pay attention to after we get this behind us.

473
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: Many times I've mentioned if you have a vertical crack

474
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: on the corner of your home, maybe up through the

475
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: brick to mark that and to mark on the brick

476
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 2: how wide that crack was, how far that crack went up,

477
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: and see if there's been movement, because if there's going

478
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 2: to be movement, this would be the year. This would

479
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: be the year that there would be movement. And then

480
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: that's something you're going to want to take a look at.

481
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: There's ways to fix all kinds of things, and in

482
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: that particular case, it would be peering at foundation and

483
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: stabilizing that. But ignoring it isn't the answer, because what

484
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: will happen is you will eventually start seeing other issues,

485
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: windows that don't open, doors that don't close, and could

486
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: be addressed. That first telltale sign to be that vertical

487
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: crack and another old tip here quite if you have

488
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: that issue and you discover that issue this spring, there's

489
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: all kinds of people that.

490
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: Can fix that.

491
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: It's not cheap, but it can be fixed, and you

492
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: might absolutely want to have maybe like a structural engineer.

493
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: It might cost you under a thousand bucks to have

494
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: somebody come out and take a look at that inspect

495
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: that to say exactly what is causing this in the

496
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: way it would be properly repaired, rather than the person

497
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 2: that's actually going to do the repair. Money well spent,

498
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: money well spent. So consider that also all right.

499
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: Well, take a break, come back to your car.

545
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, Yes, sir, yes, I just wanted

546
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 5: to give you a quick update. What's going on with

547
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 5: my boiler right now. I have a kill switch for

548
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 5: a backdraft coming up the chimney. So I came home

549
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 5: that I hit the reset button, boiler shot back up.

550
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 5: He did, the house woke up, there was a rank smell,

551
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 5: there was a fire alarm that went off, and I

552
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 5: got a company that was willing to do a swe

553
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 5: for twenty eight dollars. That's what he sold me right

554
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 5: on the spot. I was desperate.

555
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 6: I took it.

556
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 5: I gave him a five hundred dollars deposit, and I'm

557
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 5: just wondering if I should have actually kept my cool

558
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 5: and actually looked inside the chimney and seeing if it

559
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 5: was actually blocked or not.

560
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 2: Well. Well, first of all, if you don't have an

561
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: updraft on a bloil or boiler, you have a classic

562
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: carbon monoxide issue, which will usually occur in the wintertime.

563
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: And so these things aren't common in the wintertime. And

564
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: quite honestly, it could be something, you know, as simple

565
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: as snow and ice covering the chimney cap.

566
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 1: Yep.

567
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: It could be something that is blocked inside the chimney.

568
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 2: It could be the flue pipe that's sagging AND's got

569
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: you know, rust holes in it. I mean, it can

570
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: be all kinds of things. I can't I can't go

571
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: back and say, yeah, you're really messed up there. I mean,

572
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: you don't know is it working now?

573
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, so the boiler is no publish doing what it's

574
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 5: supposed to be doing. However, it will automatically shut off.

575
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 5: I just am exactly what you're talking about. I feel

576
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 5: that I didn't do my due diligence to really check inside,

577
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 5: maybe take off the you know, everything looks good as

578
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 5: far as the piping going up into the chimney, but

579
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 5: I should have probably told guid to Hey, I really

580
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 5: need you to either put a camera down there or

581
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 5: light in there and make sure it's not something simple

582
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 5: before we go through this twenty eight hundred dollars process.

583
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 2: So the answer is, yes, that would probably have been

584
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: a better idea because you would feel better about it, right,

585
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you would have felt like you did your

586
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: due diligence. How so, yeah, that would have been better,

587
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: but we can't do anything about that, and it may

588
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 2: not have been it anyway.

589
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 5: So well, it's still pending because I didn't have the

590
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 5: right size pipes. It's still pending. I still I gave it,

591
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 5: got five hundred dollars, but I'm gonna I think my

592
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 5: dad's coming over and we're going to just open the

593
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 5: flu area since it's already cold down there, and just

594
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 5: take a look ourselves.

595
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: That would be that would be advantageous.

596
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 5: Yeess, okay, thank you. I figured as much. I thought

597
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 5: it might be helpful for your listeners.

598
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: All right, Well, get yes, it's very helpful.

599
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 2: All these things that's you know, quite honestly, all these

600
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 2: tips and things we've been talking about for now two weekends,

601
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: those are all people. Those are all the results of

602
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: people that have had problems over the years. So thank

603
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 2: you very much for a calling and sharing that I

604
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: absolutely free to let us know how you make out.

605
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,640

606
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. Thanks even take care, good luck.

607
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 2: The importance of carbon monoxide detectors cannot be overstated this

608
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 2: time of the year and when you have these kind

609
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: of issues, because they are the warning flag. I mean,

610
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: you can't smell, you can't smell, but you can smell

611
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 2: byproducts of things that are causing carbon monoxide, which really

612
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 2: can't smell carbon monoxide. You'll get a headache, you'll get dizzy,

613
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: and some people don't wake up. So having carbon monoxide

614
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: alarms in your home critical.

615
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: Verry.

616
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,840

Speaker 6: gonna be any good or should I just throw it out?

621
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: So is it latex paint?

622
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: I assume yes, so it can handle it freezing once,

623
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: But what really kills latex paints is freeze thall. Freeze thall,

624
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: freeze thall.

625
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: So you know, if it's been in the past.

626
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: I don't know how how uh, how cold is it

627
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 2: in that shed?

628
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 6: It's got as low as five low.

629
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: Here, Yeah, it's it's probably shocked, but you can you

630
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 2: can find out real quick. I mean when things all

631
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: fall out and everything, what it will happen.

632
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: It'll be like it'll have like small cheese curds in it. Okay.

633
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: So you could take the paint and you can get

634
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: paint strainer and a little can underneath it and pour

635
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 2: the paint through it, and you'll be able to see

636
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: whether that's gonna work or not. I'm gonna guess if

637
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: it's gotten that cold in that shed for this prolonged

638
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: period of time. I mean they ship it in trucks,

639
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 2: so you know it freezes there too. Oh okay, But

640
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: once it's done it a couple times, to be honest

641
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 2: with it usually gets a little I say, cheese curds,

642
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: but that's a good description of it.

643
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: It gets a little clots.

644
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 6: In it, right, Okay, So just just wait for it

645
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 6: to fall out, yeah.

646
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: Wait for everything to fall out in the springtime. Just

647
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: get it and you can get you know, pails or

648
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 2: you could get a paint pail or whatever. And just

649
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: pour it through a strainer and see what it looks like.

650
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 2: If it looks like it always has, it's not going

651
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 2: to affect the effectiveness of it. But if it's you know,

652
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: has little clots in it, you might as well pitch.

653
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 6: It, right, Okay, well, thank you very much.

654
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: All Right, you're quite welcome. Thank you. Care all right,

655
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: a phone number if you'd like to join us as

656
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: we chat about what this weather's doing. Well we can

657
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 2: do into our house. We could talk about what was

658
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: doing to our brain too. I guess, don't you just

659
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: yearn for fifty degrees in sunshine? That number again is

660
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty two three eight two five five. Again

661
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: I was talking about people using snowblowers, shovels, throwing up

662
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 2: snow against the foundation. Really don't do that, or if

663
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 2: you do, then move it away from the foundation.

664
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: You know.

665
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: That's why we have gutters, especially if you have a

666
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: lot of really dense clay soil in your area where

667
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 2: you live, because that will when it melts, it'll just set,

668
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 2: that clay will just become saturated. In a lot of cases,

669
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 2: that water has nowhere to go. And if you've got

670
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 2: a crack in the basement wall, or you got a

671
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: natural seam, or you got a high water table, that

672
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: water will find its way into the basement, I can

673
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 2: tell you right now. So don't help it that snow.

674
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 2: When you're blowing it against the house, you just think

675
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 2: that it's just like turning on a hose and leaving

676
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 2: a hose right against the foundation of your home. You ever,

677
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 2: you ever do that, I've done that before, and it

678
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 2: will leak. And because again between that floor and between

679
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 2: that wall, it is a natural seamen. If you raise

680
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: that water table, the path of the least resistance will

681
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 2: be your basement. And another thing I'm just giving you

682
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 2: things to worry about, huh, well, you can change the

683
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 2: mood if you want to enjoy us. One of the

684
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 2: things is the some pump. Again, the lifespan of those

685
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: eight to ten years. If you have a some pump

686
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: and back up that's fifteen years old, probably on borrow time,

687
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: and if it's battery operated, I hope you've changed that

688
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 2: out over the period of time, because you if you

689
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: have no way to move that water away from your

690
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: house and you're kind of down in a valley or

691
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: down in a little swale, you know that's going to

692
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 2: create some issues and making sure that discharge pipe is

693
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 2: going underground and away from the home. A lot of

694
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 2: times there's discharge pipes. Real cold weather is it discharges

695
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 2: it's not lined up with the pipe that's going underground,

696
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 2: or it's freezing. These are things to stay on top of,

697
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 2: all right. I'll tell you there's always something, and there's

698
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: always a lot, that's for sure, when it comes to

699
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: extreme weathers, temperatures. And as you look at the map,

700
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 2: I saw it the other day. If you're listening to

701
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: us out west, I enjoyed the day. Yeah, I hope

702
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 2: you have a wonderful day. One thing I've learned doing

703
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 2: this show is we have different weather. It's like where

704
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 2: the east and the west shall meet. It's it's a

705
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: balance system. If the East is in bad shape weatherwise,

706
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 2: the west is looking pretty good.

707
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: And then vers advice or whatever they said, all right,

708
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: let's think it. We'll come back, get some more questions answered.

709
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: You're at Home with Gary Sullivan.

710
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: Takes it right with a call to Gary Sullivan at

711
