If you've got 24 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: a question and several people are calling in in the meantime, 25 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: I'll give you a quick tip, and that is if 26 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: you have a house with window wells. It kind of 27 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: went through this yet the last week, very very important. 28 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: Take a look. Some of them have drains in the 29 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: bottom of that window, will some of them do not. 30 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: There's a bed of gravel and rock and it just 31 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: saturates into the soil. But if it's clogged with sticks 32 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: to breed leaves, that water may not be going anywhere. 33 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: That window will may be just like a big poddle 34 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: that you're filling up with water. And if that window 35 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: will starts filling up with water, you're gonna have problems, 36 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: especially if you have windows there maybe not glass block windows, 37 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: and it starts seeping into your basement. So make sure 38 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: they're clean, with or without a drain. Get that you know, 39 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: gunk out of there. And even after you get that 40 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: gunk out of there, you might get a hose and 41 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: just test and make sure that that drain is functioning 42 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: or is it clogged. But that is a good thing 43 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: to put on your list. And one of the things 44 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: that a lot of folks do, you know, the window 45 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: well SER's the purpose of getting light into your basement 46 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: and one of the things that people do. A lot 47 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: of times you get wind to well covers which are 48 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: not that difficult to put on your house. You might 49 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: have to put a little frame, but you still get 50 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: the light and then you don't have issues with water, 51 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, going into the window weill and you don't 52 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: have to worry about clean them out. You don't have 53 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: to worry about them draining then, So as a precaution, 54 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: that might be something that you would, you know, want 55 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: to take a look at. Also this time of year, 56 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are putting mulch down. 57 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: Be careful of what you're doing there. And I know 58 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: I've talked about this in the past, depending on how 59 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: much foundation you have coming out of the ground. In fact, 60 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: I know there's Hoa's that will mandate that you can't 61 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: have more than I don't know, say eighteen inches twelve 62 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: inches of foundation, So they don't want a house that's 63 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: coming up and there's four feet of bare concrete doesn't 64 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: look so good. But you also not from a don't 65 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: look good standpoint, You also don't want multch going up 66 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: onto the siding or mulch going you know, up onto 67 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: the brick. So if if you have been putting, you 68 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: know you've been in the house for a while, you've 69 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: been putting mulchdown, marchdown, malchdown the hedges, the bushes, the 70 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: things around the foundation. Plannings are getting higher and higher. 71 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: Be careful. Don't let that mulch and soil line get 72 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: above the sighting and then you can get terminates and 73 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: stuff like that brick, you could get water coming in, 74 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: So be careful. Helen, welcome him with you. 75 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: I find a lot of great information on your show. 76 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: Thank you. 77 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: What I'm calling about is I have. 78 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 4: Some rust on some siatement. 79 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: Actually my front porch had a planner on there and 80 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: they realized with a deep doubt it was needing some 81 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: rust gain anything. Yeah, what I would do is I 82 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: would get a product. It's called iron out. And you 83 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: know that's a great question right now because as there's people, 84 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: uh maybe moving patio furniture back outside out of the shed, 85 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: and where that patio furniture set or that planner set. 86 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: There's rust and iron out. It comes in a crystal 87 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: or a liquid. Don't just get the pre mixed squirt 88 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: on bottle. I'd get the crystal or the liquid. Mix 89 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: it with warm water. Tells you what the dilution rate is, 90 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: and then literally get yourself comfortable, sit down next to 91 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: the rest spot with a paintbrush and baste it like 92 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: you would be basting a turkey. Get that brush in 93 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: there and just base that rust spot. Get the brush 94 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: in there, base that rust spot. Helen. You might do 95 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: it thirty five forty times, but in that course of 96 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: that you will just see it just begin to lighten 97 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: a way and that rust stain disappear. And that's what 98 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: I would use. The reason I like that it's maybe 99 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more work, a little more tedious, but 100 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't bleach out the concrete. And a lot of 101 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: the ones that you use, you gotta be careful because 102 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: it'll clean the rust and it'll also you know, almost 103 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: etch the concrete so rust out. You can find. It's 104 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: an older product. It's been around for a long time. 105 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: Um and yeah, yeah, use that. Nothing to do after that, 106 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: just rinse it away and you should be good. By 107 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: the way, if you do have that problem and you're 108 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: also near a steel railing that's on my list to 109 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: kind of talk about also, and you get to rust 110 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: off that steel railing. So many of them now are 111 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: stamped aluminum or aluminum railings, tubular aluminum railings. But if 112 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: you got the old steel in an older home and 113 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: you have to rust stain around that base where it 114 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: goes into the concrete, obviously you're gonna want to you know, 115 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: clean clean the rust out of the concrete, just like 116 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,239 Speaker 1: Ellen did. But you're also going to have to clean 117 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: that rust off that railing or you're gonna have to 118 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: seal that railing up. And if you have a railing 119 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: that's rusted has just surface rust in other words, it's discolored, 120 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: it's not flaking off. There is a product that you 121 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: can use. It's a rust reformer rust neutralizer. They're called both. 122 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: It is a liquid that you brush onto that railing 123 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: and it creates a chemical reaction and seals the rust 124 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: into that railing that can then function as a primary 125 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: it'll turn it black, function as a primery. This is 126 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: sounding pretty easy, isn't it. So that's good. I'm all 127 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: about easy turns it black, functions as a primer, and 128 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: then you come back with your You know, you could 129 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: use the rustolium the you know, oil based metal paints 130 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: don't necessarily have to use a primer if you've used 131 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: the rust reformer. And what that saves you as time, 132 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: a little energy, a little work because you're not having 133 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: to remove that rust off. It's sealing it in through 134 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: the chemical reaction. You don't have the primer. It functions 135 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: as a primer and you got to paint it. If 136 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: it's scaly rust, that's a different story. You're gonna have 137 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: to scrape that while brush that. Use a rotary scraper 138 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: on your drill. You're gonna have to get that off 139 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: and then if you want, you can use the rust 140 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: a reformer, or you can use a red primer and 141 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: then the rust stolen him on that. But you know, 142 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: if you're trying to if it's just surface rust, that 143 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: might be something you know, you want to consider because 144 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: if you don't do anything on that and you get 145 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: the rust off the concrete, it's gonna be back next 146 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: year and eventually that rust is going to rush through that. 147 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: That's steel rallying and it's not gonna be connected, it's 148 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: gonna be wobbly, it's gonna be a safety hazard. So 149 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: if you have that issue, I would follow my advice 150 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: and get that cleaned up, get that sealed up, and 151 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: cosmetically get that stain off the concrete.

One of the 198 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: things we got into yes or not yesterday, but last 199 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: week we were talking about patching holes in drywall and 200 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: that can always be a little challenging. I mean, it's 201 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: not a big deal with a hole as you know, 202 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: a nail hole or something from hanging pictures, but you 203 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: know when a doorknob goes through the drywall that that 204 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: can be a little bit more difficult. And we talked 205 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: about a product that DApp has called Eclipse, which if 206 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: you have not tried one yet, I encourage you to 207 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: do so. Whether it's a big hole or just a 208 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, size of a quarter, it is a it's 209 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: it's kind of plastic. I guess is what you would 210 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: call it, but think of it as thick as a 211 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,479 Speaker 1: piece of paper. So it's very thin. With an adhesive. 212 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: You cover that up and you paint over it. You 213 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: put three coats on it. There's no patching involved anyway. 214 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: I want to take that a step further in some tips, 215 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: and each week when we get together for the weekend, 216 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: I'll usually just you know, in the quiet area and 217 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: think about different things that might need your attention around 218 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: your home. And that particular phone call about patching drywall 219 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: from a doorknob got me to thinking not only the 220 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: patch but why. I asked myself, why a lot, Why 221 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: did that happen? What can I do to prevent that? 222 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: And of course the simple answer there is doorstops, you know, 223 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: and if you don't have a door stop, that doorknob, 224 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: if you especially if you have kids, now is going 225 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: right through the drywall. I guarantee you if they're not 226 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: properly positioned or the right size, and the kid slams 227 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: or slams the door open, not closed, but slams it open. 228 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: That doorknobs going to go through the drywall. So when 229 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: you get to a room maybe that you're painting, or 230 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: maybe you want to put on a seasonal maintenance checklist. 231 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if you have one that you keep 232 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: up to date. I do, and a lot of the 233 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: things that we talk about go into that seasonal checklist. 234 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: And that's exactly you know because we had that phone 235 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: call last week and then looking at the seasonal checklist, 236 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: it's a doorstops. So yeah, boy, you know what, I 237 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: bet you at your house you have some very inadequate 238 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: doorstops that could use your attention. And the first ones 239 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: that would probably need most people's attention is if you 240 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: have a spring doorstop and not the seasonal spring. I'm 241 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: talking about a spring and it's got a little rubber 242 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: tip on the end of it. And if you again 243 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: he got a lot of traffic in and out of 244 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: a specific door, Uh, maybe you got kids and that 245 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: door's opened a little more aggressively than it needs to be. 246 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: That spring has probably ben it's twisted, it's probably not 247 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: functioning very well. Eventually breakdown, it won't function at all 248 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: in the door. Now, I'll go through the drivewall. So 249 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: going through and taking a look at that might be 250 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: a good idea. Maybe you want to rigid. So there 251 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: are different types of doorstops too, and some doorstops can 252 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: be adjusted. Now, one of the door stops is one 253 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: that's it's actually goes away from the baseboard and it's 254 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: screwed right into the floor. Now, you're probably not gonna 255 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: use it if you've got ceramic tile, okay, but maybe 256 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: in a certain room in your house that would serve 257 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: you well. You can position it exactly where that door 258 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: is going to hit resistance, and you'll take that problem 259 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: of a hole in the drywall completely out of play. 260 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: So that's one type of doorstop you might consider. The 261 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: spring's fine. I'm not saying it's not, but they would 262 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: be the I think the least effective or eventually wear 263 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: out before anything else. The other one you might replace 264 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: it with is a rigid doorstop. I'm gonna say there 265 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: maybe two and a half inches long, So you're gonna 266 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: have to maybe see if that's going to work for you. 267 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: If you got a metal door that's gonna be enough 268 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: to stand up to a rigid doorstop. It doesn't have 269 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: a spring, doesn't have any give, it'll stop the door. 270 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: So that's one that could replace the spring. Then the 271 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: other one I want to talk about, and then we'll 272 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: get off doorstops. But the other one is one that 273 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: fits in the the hinge pin, usually the top, sometimes 274 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: the middle hingepin. Take the hingepin out, and uh, there 275 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: is adjustable doorstops. One going to where when you open 276 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: the door it hits the frame of the door. The 277 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: other one is it hits the door. So it's kind 278 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: of a double buffer. And you could get it where 279 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: it just opens up halfway, it could open up three quarters, 280 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: it could open up all the way. But protect the drywall. 281 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: But do yourself a favor, really, because you know that 282 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: is something you do want to avoid, is a hole 283 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: the size of your fist. My kids used to laugh 284 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: when we had that problem. And I finally got to 285 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: a point where not only the heck with the doorstops, 286 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: I put solid plastic decorative plate. That doorknob was going 287 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: to hit that we I'm gonna hit the drywall. Maybe 288 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: you can relate to that. That's another option too, By 289 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: the way, you can put the doorstop and put the 290 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: plate up and cover the hole there. And if it's 291 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: decorate enough, I think that passes the test. But I'll 292 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: let you decide that all right.

But unlike most manufacturing companies, you don't keep 364 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: all your money in the bank. You keep it in product. 365 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: In other words, you have a lot of product in 366 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: case there is a lot of flooding. 367 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 4: Correct, that is correct.

Yeah, And I was talking about Zalor. I mean, 376 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: why don't you tell folks about za I'm so impressed 377 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: with your company.

But what a great company. 380 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: Folks have just kind of give me a maybe the 381 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: philosophy and the history of the company. 382 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, Zala's been around since nineteen thirty nine. Uh started 383 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 4: off in Pop Zalar's basement making some some dirty cast 384 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 4: iron pumps down there. And then after a few years 385 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 4: of doing that, you know, Mom Zala was like, this 386 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 4: is two dirty guys. You got to find somewhere. You 387 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 4: got to get out of here, get out of the basement. 388 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 4: So yeah, so where we are you know when Louisville, Kentucky, 389 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 4: over off of Cane Run Road. Been there since the 390 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 4: you know, since the forties. Still family owned and uh yeah, 391 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 4: I mean you know you could you could see if 392 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 4: you come in Zalor whether it's in the offices, whether 393 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 4: it's out on the plant. You see people build the 394 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 4: pumps every day. You could see that people enjoy working 395 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 4: for Zola Company with it being family owned, and you know, 396 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 4: everybody's proud to work there. 397 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: Right right they are. We had a caller last week, Bjay. 398 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: I should have got the clip, but I didn't, And 399 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: this fellow was going on and on about your pumps. 400 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: He really was saying how wonderful it was and how 401 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: he was so happy to find it. But and that 402 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: is your philosophy. And he was super proud of it, 403 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: and he was proud he had one in his home. 404 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: And I say that because one of the things people 405 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: should do is they should know how long a pump lasts. 406 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: If we're talking about a some pump, how long something 407 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: like that. Last I was asked that this week, he 408 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: goes like, I'm going somewhere, it's like nine years old. 409 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: What should I do? 410 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 4: Well, you know, we generally say, and it depends on 411 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 4: how much the pump is coming on and off. You know, 412 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 4: each application is different, but we generally say anywhere from 413 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 4: seven to ten years is a good life of the pump. 414 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 4: So you know, if that, if that guy was, you know, 415 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 4: at the nine ten year mark, he should uh he 416 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 4: should be prepping for potentially uh a new one soon. 417 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of what I told him too. 418 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: And you get the ten year mark just from ah, 419 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: you know, you know, take the thread out and we'll 420 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: get into that too, but just get it replaced. And 421 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: now with smart pumps and all that and again we're 422 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: going to get into the some pumps, backup pumps, smart pumps. 423 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: But what is a grinder pump? 424 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 4: Oh? Yes, yeah, So a grinder pump is a pump 425 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 4: that you know, if you if you're having problems if 426 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 4: you have a sewage ejector so if you if you 427 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 4: have a you know, a home or a you know, 428 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 4: a building small, you know, small building that has uh 429 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 4: sewage waste. If it's got toilets being flushed down into 430 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 4: the pit, okay, you may need you may need a 431 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 4: grinder pump if there are the those things that should 432 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 4: not be flushed down there. You know, we always recommend 433 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 4: against the flushable wipes, the feminine products, the shop rags, 434 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 4: but you never know, you never know people's gonna throw 435 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 4: down there. So that's what a grinder pump is for 436 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 4: because it's gonna be able to grind up those items 437 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 4: that I just mentioned, tear them up, grind them up, 438 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 4: and pump them up and out to wherever they need 439 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 4: to go with no problems. And with the grinder pump, 440 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 4: you don't have to worry about, you know, the impeller 441 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 4: like on a sewage pump being jammed up with these materials. 442 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: Well, that's amazing. I saw one of your displays with 443 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: a grinder pump. You literally threw a pair of blue 444 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: jeans in the pit. Yep. I mean it was unbelievable, incredible. 445 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: So is there anything you need to know about the 446 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: size and the power of a grinder pump? 447 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Zalar offers, you know, quite a few 448 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 4: different options when it comes to to grinder pumps.

That's the most common. Yep, that's the most 534 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 4: common pump. 535 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: That's kind of the good middle of the road guy. 536 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: I guess, oh, yeah, it's a beast. But then you 537 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: also have incorporated, like so many products that we put 538 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: in our home smart technology in the pumps. 539 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 4: That is correct. So we've talked about, you know, the 540 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 4: fifty three and sixty three and the primary sump pump, 541 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 4: we recommend adding a backup pump with it, and we 542 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 4: have a few different backup pump options, you know, from 543 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 4: you know, the entry level stage to the one that 544 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 4: you were just mentioning is it's our five oh eight fit. 545 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 4: And with the five oh eight fit, it comes with 546 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 4: that Wi Fi remote monitoring. So if your backup pump 547 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 4: comes on for whatever reason, maybe the primary pump's overwhelmed 548 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 4: with the influx of water, or maybe your power's out 549 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 4: and you're not home, the five oh eight fit controller. 550 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 4: It can send you notifications via text, via email. So 551 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 4: it's one of these things that you know, we want 552 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 4: to make sure you're able to, you know, see what's 553 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 4: going on with your system even when you're not home. 554 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: Yea bj is are you seeing that category growth substantially or. 555 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 4: Yes, more and more people want to have something connected. 556 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 4: And that's where we when we did this years ago. 557 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 4: This is one of those things where we wanted to, 558 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 4: you know, get in there and say, listen, we want 559 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 4: to be able to help the homeowner.

When I mean this is this system is 562 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 4: protecting your basement. It's keeping your basement from flooding. And 563 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 4: if you're not home and you get a text from 564 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 4: the power company that says your powers out, you want 565 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 4: to know that you have that battery backup down there 566 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 4: to protect it, which. 567 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: Brings us to the next question, and that is battery backups. Gosh, 568 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: I can't imagine living in a home with a finished basement, 569 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: especially that doesn't have a battery backup. 570 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 4: You're exactly right, Gary, You're exactly right. 571 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 1: And what do we look for in that? 572 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, So like I was mentioned just a minute ago, 573 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 4: is there's a few different options. And you know, if 574 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 4: you find a local plumber in your area who is 575 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 4: familiar with our systems, which they should be the familiar 576 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 4: with our systems, they can go over the options and 577 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 4: they'll say, listen, this is the entry level battery backup pump. 578 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 4: It doesn't do as much flow, it doesn't pump as 579 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 4: much water out as some of the other battery backup options, 580 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 4: but we do have that one, so it's a little 581 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 4: more you know, it's a little more cost effective. But 582 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 4: you want to think about what you just said, Gary. 583 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 4: The two other battery backup options that we have do 584 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,879 Speaker 4: pump out more water.

Is it okay to seal the pipes like the 685 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 7: connections inside the attic or should they be free like 686 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 7: to move around with the temperature changes? I live in 687 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 7: h I live right by Lake Erie and Loraine, Ohio. 688 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 7: A lot of temperature changes. 689 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,760 Speaker 1: They're usually sealed. 690 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 7: Okay, I was I was told they were not sealed. 691 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: Well maybe in that area again, maybe an area thing 692 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: more than a universal thing. So okay, you know, so 693 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: it's it's just air. Okay, it's not water. It's certainly 694 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: not water under pressure. It is a vent. So I 695 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: don't know how much structural movement you would have on 696 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: a piece of PVC pipe. But if if that's what 697 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: you've been told, it's not gonna flood, right, I mean, 698 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 1: it's not sealed and it's not we under pressure and 699 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: that if it's kind of tight, so maybe up there 700 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 1: not so much. 701 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, because here here's the issue I'm having, is I 702 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 7: have to investigate a little bit further. But I have 703 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 7: a like a leak in my bathroom and I just 704 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 7: had this bathroom actually completely remodeled, and the leak is 705 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 7: partially it's like by a wall between a like a 706 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 7: heater vent and the shower. It's about even distance between 707 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 7: the two, but it's right next to the wall, and 708 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 7: I can't figure out. I don't think it's the shower 709 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 7: leaking it. It's sealed pretty well, and I'm almost thinking, 710 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:06,359 Speaker 7: I that there's water coming down that wall. And when 711 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 7: I went up into the attic, because there's like the 712 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 7: holding your roof to get up in the attic, you know, right, 713 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 7: and I went up there. When I went up there, 714 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,439 Speaker 7: there's some pipe that goes right by there where that 715 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 7: leak is. But I couldn't see the pipe that. I 716 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 7: couldn't see that it was leaking as the thing. 717 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: So well, where you're at, yeah, where you're at. It 718 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 1: could be numerous things. It could be the boot around 719 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:38,240 Speaker 1: that pipe. They have a lifespan of about ten years 720 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,760 Speaker 1: and so they fail and so that could be the problem. 721 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: It could be the fan where there's condensation creating the 722 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 1: problem if the insulation's wet. So I don't know that 723 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 1: it would be the pipe. I think you can find 724 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 1: out pretty easy. Maybe just wrapping some paper around that 725 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: to see if it, you know, is actually leaking or 726 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: not leaking. That may be a way, But it very 727 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: well could be the boot on that, and i'd certainly 728 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: inspect that. Like I said, they got a ten year life. 729 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 1: The other issue I would have before i'd consider the 730 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: pipe leaking would be an issue with condensation or even 731 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: the venting from that fan. We'll continue. You're at home 732 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: with Gary Sullivan. 733 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 2: Time to get your hands dirty with Gary Sullivan.
