We thank them for their sponsorship, 12 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: and we've got the phone lines open if you'd like 13 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: to join us talking about your home and maybe cleaning 14 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: up a little bit, maybe fixing something that isn't functioning 15 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 2: right or as I mentioned yesterday, we had some nice 16 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: weather early in the week, but now we've got a 17 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: cold print that's going through and we kind of have 18 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: winter weather again, and that certainly reminds me of things 19 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: that well, you should pay attention to. Plus, I guess 20 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: one of the things we're always talking about is mustiness 21 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: and pollutants inside our home. Hopefully is the wind blows 22 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: and the temperatures drop. I don't know if that's going 23 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: on in your area, but when you get weather like that, 24 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: and you get it in the winter time, it's really 25 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: a great opportunity to see how how tight your home is. 26 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: How much leakage of aired do you have around windows 27 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: and doors and maybe the trap door that goes to 28 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 2: the attic. You know, how vulnerable is your house to 29 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: cold weather. And of course that all gets into the 30 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: whole realm of making our homes tighter, keeping our energy 31 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: bills well as flat as we can. I'm not sure 32 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: that's really possible with the increase in energy cost, but 33 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: you get what I'm talking. I mean, we're just we 34 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: just need to make sure the home is in good 35 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 2: shape and relatively weather tight. And as I was up 36 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: this morning early, I was kind of walking around, and man, 37 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 2: I tell you, it is amazing when when you get 38 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: winds outside of you know, fifteen twenty min an hour 39 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: and it's really cold out, it does not take a 40 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: genius to find out where the problem areas are in 41 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: your home when it comes to weather stripping windows. At 42 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: my house, as I was walking around, just kind of 43 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: holding my hand around the joints and things those are 44 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: all nice and tight doors. I swear I have more 45 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: problems with doors than I do windows. A lot of 46 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: people are always worrying about storm windows and things like that. 47 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: But over time doors become compromised with weather stripping, and 48 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: you know it would behoove you to again just feel 49 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: around the door, see if you can feel the weather 50 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: outside coming into your home, or if you got nice 51 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: weather today opening that door and just examining a do 52 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: you have weather stripping around the door b? What kind 53 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: of shape is it in? I know so many people 54 00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: have weather stripping on doors, and it's not very structurally sound. 55 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: They did it kind of an easy way. Rather than 56 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: having a vinyl bulb on it, which is the weather stripping, 57 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: and door would close against that and compress it, creating 58 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: a seal, they'll have something like a tape with a 59 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 2: spongy foam on it, which sounds great and it is 60 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: great in terms of ease of installing. I mean, you 61 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 2: can probably do a door in ten minutes, so that's 62 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: pretty good, but that foam has a tendency to dry out. 63 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: If you have kids, they have a tendency to pick 64 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: at it, and it doesn't take long enough for that 65 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: weather stripping to be compromising again, the cold air comes 66 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: rushing in, so you know, take a look at that, 67 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: take a look at all the sides. That's where the 68 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 2: weather stripping is. Take a look at the bottom, that's 69 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: where the door sweep is. And if you feel Russia 70 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: air coming in at the bottom of the door, and 71 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: you know, the cold air from outside, there's two things 72 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: to look at. Number one would be the threshold that 73 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: the door closes on a lot of times those are 74 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: aluminum sometimes there would but inside or on the top 75 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: of that threshold there's a seal might be somewhere between 76 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: a half inch and an inch wide the length of 77 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: the plate down at the bottom of the door, and 78 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: in that slides a rubber gasket and you can get 79 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: you know, maybe five years out of life. I find 80 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: those things get compromised pretty quickly. They get dry, people 81 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: walking on them, walking over them, the door's opening and closing, 82 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: he starts getting splits in them, and they start being compromised. 83 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: That's one thing to check. The other thing is on 84 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: the actual face of the door, on the inside, in 85 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: the door that's being manufactured like a fiberglass door, at 86 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 2: the bottom of the door, or they may have little 87 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: vinyl flaps that are they slide into the base of 88 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: the door and it goes up against the threshold, ceiling 89 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: out that cold air rush. But again those become compromised 90 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 2: over years. And what you can do as a homeowner 91 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: and don't chintz on this is. 92 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: Get a door sweep. 93 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 2: And a door sweep can be positioned it has vinyl 94 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 2: flaps at the end and it seals against the threshold. 95 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 2: I mean, you can lay a rug in front or 96 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: a towel to stop the air from rushing in. But 97 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: this is you know, this is permanent. You don't have 98 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: to worry about when it gets cold or real hot. 99 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: It can be attached with screws. When I say, don't 100 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: be real cheap on it. Over the last twenty years, 101 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: I've seen door sweeps that have a little tiny, very 102 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: thin plastic frame and molded vinyl flaps to that and 103 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 2: you peel off the back and you just stick it on. Well, 104 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: I find those. I mean, it's inexpensive enough, it's not 105 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: a waste of money, but it's not a last it's 106 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: not a long term solution, and it's not that difficult. 107 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: You get yourself a door sweep with a metal edge 108 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: at the top, and you kind of position where those 109 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: flaps are gonna hit when the door is sealed, and 110 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: that should be up against the threshold, you know. Make 111 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: a couple of dots on the door, get a level, 112 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: make sure you draw a line nice and level, drill 113 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: the holes, run the screw in it, and bingo, You're 114 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: done and pretty dog uneasy to do. And encourage you 115 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: to kind of take a look at that because a 116 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: lot of wasted air. And one of the other things 117 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: that most people complain about is the inconsistency of temperatures 118 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: throughout the home from the cooling season during the during 119 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: the cold weather outside, so the heatings inconsistent that the 120 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: bedroom in the back end of the house or is 121 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: colder than the bedroom maybe on the first floor. Always 122 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: remember ask yourself where is that thermostat, Because when your 123 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: furnace is spewing warm air, that thermostat's the brains of 124 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: your system. If you got set at seventy degrees and 125 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 2: that's being satisfied, that furnace is turning off, and if 126 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: you're getting more air to an area at the closest 127 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: to the furnace, the first floor, where that thermostat is 128 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: and that back bedrooms not getting that air long enough 129 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: to bring that temperature up to where that bedroom is, 130 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 2: the back bedroom is always gonna be a little cold. 131 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: And one of the things that's impeding flow is a 132 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 2: dirty filter. So if that's a problem, that's the most 133 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: basic answer there is for that. There's a whole bunch 134 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: of other answers which I'd be happy to discuss, but 135 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: that's the most basic answer. And with all the activity 136 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: we've had in our homes over the last probably six weeks, 137 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: that stirs up more dust, and that ninety day filter 138 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: might have been in your furnace for seventy days and 139 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: then the last six weeks hit and you still haven't 140 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 2: changed it.

If you'd like to discuss a 193 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: issue you have around the home. It's eight hundred eight 194 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 2: two three eight two five five. I had an interesting 195 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: issue in the past couple of weeks. I kind of 196 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: wanted to pass this on. We give this as a 197 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: tip on occasion. And it's still rather hard to believe 198 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: how this happens. But we had a kind of a 199 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: powder room toilet and during the holidays, this thing when 200 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 2: you flushed it and it began to fill, not all 201 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: the time, just every now and then, which I have 202 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: not figured out why that is. This thing sounded like 203 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: a grinder pump. It sounded like a jet was taken off, 204 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 2: and you know, it was annoying, and I thought, oh, gosh, 205 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: I you know, not really kind of in the mood 206 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: to take out all the parts inside that toilet and everything, 207 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 2: and gosh, it almost sounds like, I said, a grinder pump. 208 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: It almost sounded like a rush of water, which was 209 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 2: very loud, and it wasn't wasn't really moaning or anything, 210 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: you know, squeaking or you know some of those other 211 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: pretty common sounds that you have when there's a toilet issue. 212 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: This thing was going crazy. So anyway, what I did, 213 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: and it did work. 214 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: The val on the. 215 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: Outside of the toilet where the supply line was. I 216 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 2: can't believe that maybe somebody had actually turned the valve 217 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: up a little bit. But what I did is I 218 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: turned the valve off, completely, shut it off, and flush 219 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: the toilet, and then slowly turned the valve on. And 220 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: when I got to pass three quarters of opening, the 221 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: sound returned. So a lot of volume, a lot of pressure, 222 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: a lot of noise, but also when I turned it 223 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: down it would go away. So my question to myself 224 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: at that point was is that the solution, because sometimes 225 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: it is maybe there's air in a line. I don't 226 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: know what was going on, really don't know. So as 227 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 2: I turned it just on, I would say that is 228 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: turned on a little less than halfway right now. This 229 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: was two weeks ago. It's got plenty of water, plenty 230 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: of transfer of water from the closet to the bowl, 231 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 2: removes waste flushes, great no noise. So problem solved. If 232 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: you run into that. And we've used that as a 233 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: tip with callers in the past about a loud noise, 234 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: and it depends, obviously if it was more of a 235 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: whining sound, I would say that's probably not it. But 236 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: it was really interesting and it was probably I was 237 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: searching this quite honestly, so that I didn't have to 238 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: change out all the parts in the toilet, So turning 239 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: it off, flushing it, turning it back on, finding out 240 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: where that sweet spot wasn't that valve and the sweet 241 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: spot was about open, about forty where it was before. 242 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: It was one hundred percent open. So you know, shut 243 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: it off, rottle it back, open it up, try it again. 244 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 2: So that was a That was my fun story. That 245 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: was my very fun story of fixing that without really 246 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: fixing anything. But also, I know a lot of people 247 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: this time of year, especially after the holidays and cold 248 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: weather and all that good stuff, you kind of hear 249 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: the phantom flush at night. And when you hear that, 250 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 2: and you can prove it to yourself, a little water coloring, 251 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: you know, little water dy in that back food coloring square, 252 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 2: a little bit of that in there and within you know, 253 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 2: I don't know ten minutes, if that water transfers from 254 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: the closet into the bowl, your flappers just not seating properly, 255 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: and as it slowly leaks into the bowl, it's going 256 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: to get to a level where that level of water 257 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: in the closet's going to be low, and it's going 258 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 2: to say, hey, mister valve, give me some water. Fill 259 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 2: me back up. And you hear that phantom flush and 260 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 2: the water refills into the closet. It doesn't really flush 261 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 2: a full bowl of water down, but it's just kind 262 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: of leveling things out again. And it's all caused by 263 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: the water leaking, probably around the flapper. A lot of flappers, 264 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 2: they really are degraded by chlorine in your water. And 265 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 2: there are chlorine resistant flappers. Now Corky makes one. It's 266 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 2: a red one, and I have had really really good 267 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 2: luck with those. And the other thing it maybe if 268 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: you replace the flapper and it still does that is 269 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 2: shut the water off, flush the water out of the 270 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 2: back of the towy, and then just take your hand 271 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 2: and run along the ridge and see if you feel 272 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: whether it's a brass outlet or whether it's a nylon, 273 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: you know, white plastic outlet. 274 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: See if you have just feel with your hands. 275 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: You don't have to see it, because some of them 276 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 2: are really really difficult to see, especially the white plastic ones. 277 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 2: But if you run your hand your fingers just along 278 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 2: the ridge of that and you feel, you'll feel it. 279 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it won't be sharp, but you'll feel it. 280 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: You'll notice it right away. That's what's causing. That's where 281 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 2: the water's coming. It's coming underneath that flapper. It's not 282 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 2: the flapper, it's the rim on that flush valve itself. 283 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: And Fluid Master makes a great little product. It's a 284 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 2: ring with a POxy in it, POxy putty. You just 285 00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: pull the paper off it. 286 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: You push that. 287 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 2: Ring after it's dry and you've taken the water out 288 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: of the tank, of course, you just push that down 289 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: and includes it right to the rim of where that 290 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 2: flapper rests. 291 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: And it's all one piece. 292 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 2: So you got the rim, you got the glue, and 293 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: you got the flapper that sits on. 294 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: That problem solved all right. 295 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 2: Our phone number is eight hundred eight two three eight 296 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: two five five Larry.

Yeah, and it was a 355 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 4: residential toilet and it's supposed to be on the conservative side, 356 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 4: but guaranteed to flush up to eight pounds. I remember 357 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 4: the display before about it. 358 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: Is that a champion? Do you know? 359 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, do you know. 360 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: If that's an American standard? Champion? Sounds like it is. 361 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know. I just know it's American standard. 362 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 4: But anyway, it has the the the discharge on it, 363 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 4: It has a inside the tank. It has like a 364 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 4: four or five inch raised neck on it. So that's 365 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 4: what making it conserve conservative flushing and it does flush good. 366 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 4: Being on the conservative side. However, that disk that seals 367 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 4: off the tank. I have replaced that thing over a 368 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 4: dozen times, and it don't matter if it's a new one. 369 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 4: It still leaks through that that whole design set. 370 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: Up is bad. It's bad. 371 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: And I called American Standard and ask them, and they 372 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 4: act like they there's there's no remedy for it. They 373 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 4: couldn't offer me anything. 374 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't. 375 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 4: No, you have you replace that insert in there in 376 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 4: the bottom of the dank so that. 377 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 2: That washer of that insert whatever, it's a blue one, 378 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 2: it's a blue or sometimes. Yeah, that that that is 379 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: a problem one. In fact, American Standard, it's a Champion toilet. 380 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 2: I believe that's which one is called. What they've done 381 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 2: is they've they replaced those gaskets now I believe for free. 382 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: I don't think they're replacing the toilet. But if it's 383 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 2: been a while since you called, I would call again. 384 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 2: I think they've acknowledged that there is a problem with that. 385 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 2: And I will say this, and you can get in 386 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 2: a lot of different forms where people will trade information 387 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: and things like that if you do not buy an 388 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 2: American Standard brand gasket. I'm not saying it works all 389 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 2: the time. But if it's a knockoff, you replace that 390 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: every six months. If you get the American standard brand gasket, 391 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 2: you're going to replace it every year or two. I mean, 392 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: you're gonna replace that gasket unless you get a new toilet. 393 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,479 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the story. 394 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 4: That's not where I'm at now. I think it'll just 395 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 4: replace it. The whole toilet. 396 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: Well, you know what it might. 397 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 4: I've only had it in there about five years. N't 398 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 4: even take a shower, and you get skulled at taking 399 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 4: a shower. 400 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: Because it right right. 401 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: Well, if if if I was in your shoes, I 402 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 2: would call them one more time and tell them the 403 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 2: sad story. They've heard it before, and just see if 404 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 2: there's you know, I don't think they're going to give 405 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 2: you a new toilet, but maybe, I don't know, maybe 406 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: there will give you some money off or I don't know. 407 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 2: I know they usually will send you a gasket, but 408 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: you'll be calling them every year or two and you 409 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 2: will be changing it, so that that's kind. 410 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: Of your decision. But I would make a call with them. 411 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if there's been a recalls on them 412 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: or anything like that. Sometimes there's even class action suits 413 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 2: I don't know. I would either google it and look 414 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: into it to see if there's any uh any way 415 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 2: they can make you a little happy. 416 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: Uh, but but it's it is a fly. 417 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 4: Di I y videos on it about about that. Seeing 418 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 4: what other people are doing with that ish, same issue 419 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 4: with that toilet. Yeah, and nobody really has a good 420 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 4: remy other just replacing the gasket, but even yeah, I've 421 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 4: even tried our TV and the screw that when you 422 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 4: put it all together, I think it could be leaking 423 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 4: underneath of it or underneath the nut washer. 424 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the gasket. 425 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 2: You can hear those things too, can't you. I mean, 426 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 2: like once you flush it. Yeah, yeah, I mean you 427 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 2: can hear it. 428 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: But that's what it is. 429 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 2: It is the gasket, and it's the fall of the 430 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 2: design in the toilet, and I think you can take 431 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 2: it from there. That's kind of the story. I think 432 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: you got the story in the story I just gave you. 433 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: It probably sounds like it's parallel what you found out too. 434 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 4: Yes, sir, well, I appreciate it. I thank you for 435 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 4: your time. 436 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much, sir. I appreciate it 437 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 2: all right, And uh, let's go by the way, if 438 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: you'd like to join us, Go ahead. It's eight hundred 439 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 2: eight two three eight two five to five Dave. 440 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: Welcome Garry. How'd you do it doing fine, sir? 441 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 6: I got another toydy question for it. 442 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: Oh goody. 443 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 6: It's an American standard toilet. 444 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: Mm hm. 445 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 6: Okay. Anyhow, this thing won't flush completely and it's just 446 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 6: slowing down and slowing down. It won't flush completely, so 447 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 6: I have to help clear the debris with a bucket, right, 448 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 6: But it's been going on for a while, and it's 449 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 6: just getting a little slower, just a little slower, and 450 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 6: it's not Everything seems like it's in order, but it's 451 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 6: not getting enough volume of water. 452 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. That's exactly what it is. 453 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 2: In fact, if you flush and you're standing there with 454 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 2: a bucket, you pour water down in there, it will 455 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 2: take care of the waste. 456 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: It'll be That's what I do. 457 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So it's kind of the opposite problem of 458 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: the other guy rights. 459 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 6: Not getting enough volume of water inside of the toilet. 460 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 6: And I don't have the little holes around the rim. 461 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 6: It's just one big port that comes in, okay, And 462 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 6: I'm just thinking it's so clogged up that it. 463 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: Could be, could be. 464 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 2: So there's another thing, two other things I would have 465 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 2: you take a look at, or have a blummer take 466 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,959 Speaker 2: a look at. And it's not necessarily a problem with 467 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: the the actual drain itself. The problem is there. It 468 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: takes air and it takes water to create a flush. 469 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: So the airpart people always discount, they don't really look 470 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: at it. And there's different toilets that are designed different 471 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: ways too, So the stacks on the roof, the pipes 472 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: on the roof may be actually influencing what kind of 473 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: flush you get from the toilet. So if we start 474 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 2: down at the toilet and we say, okay, we got 475 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 2: this closet and we got this bowl, the bowl has waste, 476 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: we flush the toilet, the water's transferred from the closet 477 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 2: to the bowl. It's got to be enough water and 478 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 2: enough velocity to push the wasiste through. 479 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: And if you. 480 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 2: Know so, I was going to give you the little 481 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 2: talk about the little ports or the system or the 482 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: infrastructure that takes that water from the closet into the bowl, 483 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 2: and see if you can clean that. 484 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: If you don't have the little holes. 485 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 2: And you got like slits or just an opening around it, 486 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: it gets a little more difficult. Sometimes a very fine, 487 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 2: almost like a little brush that's less than the size 488 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 2: of your little finger. Sometimes they're made of wire. They 489 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 2: got a little handle. If you can get that back 490 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 2: in there. A lot of times you'll remove some debris 491 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 2: which would cause it. 492 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 6: I've got gary, I've already done that. 493 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: Okay. 494 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 2: Then the next place to look is down at the 495 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 2: bottom of the toilet, usually towards the front of the closet, 496 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 2: kind of hidden in a way. There should be an opening, 497 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: so the water will sometimes it's called the jet flush 498 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 2: and accumulations of hard water deposit It's almost like a 499 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 2: thin or very small gravel will get in there. And 500 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 2: if you get an old toothbrush and get in there 501 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 2: and run that toothbrush in there and you know, back 502 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 2: and forth and scrub in the inside of that port, 503 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: you might be shocked at the hard water deposits that 504 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: can flush out into the toilet bowl. That could be it. 505 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 2: And the next thing it could be is the pipe 506 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 2: on the roof. You know, we get leaves, we get stick, 507 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 2: we get all kinds of gunk in there, and that 508 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: might be blocking the airflowing. I'll give you this as 509 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 2: an example. It'll make total sense to you. If you 510 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: take a gallon gas can and you fill it with 511 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: gas and you try to pour it in the lawnmower, 512 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 2: it just kind of blue blop. But then there's a 513 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 2: little vent at the top. You pop that open. That 514 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 2: little vent's like the pipe on your roof. You pop 515 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: that little vent open, and the water just flows beautifully 516 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 2: into the lawnmower. So case, then the water flows beautifully 517 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 2: in the toilet. So those are three primary things that 518 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 2: contribute to the issue you have. 519 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 6: Okay, I well, it's freezing cold out right right now. 520 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 6: I'm not going to but I don't hear, you know, 521 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 6: I don't hear any burping. I would think that would 522 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 6: be a case. 523 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes you do. Sometimes you don't. I hear you 524 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 2: Sometimes you'll even hear, like if the toilet and the 525 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: tub is real close to it, you actually hear it 526 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 2: sucking a sucking sound in the pipe in the uh 527 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 2: in the bathtub because it's trying to pull air from somewhere, 528 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 2: and that that that, you know, j Ben, or the 529 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: bend in the pipe underneath the tub is filled with water, 530 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: and you'll you'll hear that sometimes but not all the time. 531 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 2: And sometimes you'll see it in other areas. Sometimes you won't, 532 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 2: but that is one thing I would also check. 533 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 6: All right, all right, I appreciate your time, Gary, and 534 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 6: I have a great new year. 535 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: Very good.

They put two of 588 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 7: them in so far this year. They don't insult them 589 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 7: when they put them in, and they freeze up and 590 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 7: they crack and gotta get a new one. 591 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 2: Well, so who's going to insulate the next one? 592 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,280 Speaker 7: John having to wind up trying to do it myself. 593 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 7: At I'm eighty years old. 594 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if that's the issue there, you know, there 595 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,919 Speaker 2: is different types of places. I guess that you can 596 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 2: take care of the problem. Do you know exactly is 597 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 2: it the pump it suffer? Is it the waterline before 598 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 2: the pump that's actually freezing that? 599 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,439 Speaker 7: I'm not sure they're not telling me too much. 600 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think you just got to get some 601 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 2: answers before you just replace it. To be honest, it 602 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 2: sounds to me like you might want to go to 603 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 2: another plumber or another well expert, because it depends if 604 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 2: the line's freezing, is putting too much pressure and then 605 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 2: the pump is failing. That's a whole different ballgame versus 606 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 2: the pump itself. And you know, maybe it's something as 607 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 2: simple as insulating the well cap. 608 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: But I don't know either. 609 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 2: I mean, somebody's gonna have to find what the cause is, 610 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 2: what's being exposed, and that's got to be insulated to 611 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 2: correct the problem. 612 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: Is there a pressure tank involved also or not? 613 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 7: I yeah, I think there is. 614 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 2: So that could come into play also. So I really think, 615 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 2: you know, if you're not in a position to do that, Rob, 616 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 2: I really think the answer, quite honestly, is to get 617 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 2: somebody out there that's going to diagnose the problem and 618 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,919 Speaker 2: then you know, correct it because right now there's too 619 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 2: many variables of what it can be, and we got 620 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 2: to get somebody boots on the ground to diagnose where 621 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 2: the problem. 622 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 7: Is, okay, because I know they put two of them 623 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 7: in so far this year. 624 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's crazy. Yeah, I mean, you can bust 625 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 2: up pumps all day long if we don't have a 626 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 2: good delivery system, right. 627 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,800 Speaker 7: And both places were well companies, you know that installs wells. 628 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,720 Speaker 7: I figure they know what they were doing. 629 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but if it's a pipe beyond that and 630 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 2: that pump is pumping against a frozen line, it's really 631 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 2: not in the well, it's the line. I mean, I 632 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,320 Speaker 2: think you got to get a plumber out there, okay, 633 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 2: And you know when it gets real cold, you know, 634 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 2: keeping that faucet dripping or a hunter Watt trouble light 635 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 2: or heat lamp, and I'd be really I'd be focused 636 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,439 Speaker 2: a little bit near the pressure tank or the well cap. 637 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 2: That's the two areas that I would feel like there 638 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 2: could be an issue, and not really where that pump is, 639 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 2: but you know, right right in those particular areas see 640 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 2: if we can warm that up or keep water moving. 641 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 2: But it's not gonna matter now if the pipe shot 642 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 2: or if the pump is shot. All right, Rob, Yeah, 643 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 2: I'd get a plumber out there and let him go 644 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 2: through the whole system and see what we can find. 645 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,959 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, whether it's a well pump or whether 646 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:02,879 Speaker 2: it's city. 647 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: Water or what. 648 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 2: There is vulnerabilities depending on how that delivery system is 649 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 2: set up, and once they freeze, we got to find 650 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 2: out where that vulnerability is because you can't keep going 651 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 2: through all this all the time. Thank you much for 652 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 2: the call.

Thank you? 655 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,959 Speaker 5: Yeah? I have a question. My home is about twenty 656 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 5: years old. I live in Monterey, California, and I have 657 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 5: a small patio simi patio in the backyard, okay, and 658 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 5: over the last six ten years I slowly noticed a 659 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 5: little hole appearing and at first I thought, well, maybe 660 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 5: have the furniture that I have out there. So I 661 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 5: got the furniture and that wasn't doing it. So I 662 00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 5: think maybe they didn't use the best quality from them ever, 663 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 5: didn't quite do it right. But it's not horrible and 664 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 5: I could live with it, but I was wondering if 665 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 5: I should get something coated over it, or would like 666 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 5: the roller rocks coding work. 667 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 2: With that well, be more descriptive for me. On the holes, 668 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 2: there's a thing with concrete. It's called spawling. And spawling 669 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 2: I'll use a descriptive. It's like driveway acne or patio 670 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 2: acne is what I call it. 671 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,240 Speaker 1: They are little tiny divots. 672 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 2: And it's an imperfect surface on concrete. I don't know 673 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 2: if that's what it looks like. Describe what you're seeing 674 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 2: you calling it a hole. When I hear a hole, 675 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 2: I think of somebody with like a drill bit and 676 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,879 Speaker 2: drills a hole into the concrete. 677 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 5: Well, it kind of chips off at first, so there's 678 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 5: like some chip like parts of it. It will chip 679 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 5: off and no reason at all. In other times there's 680 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 5: an actual hole on the quarter inch. 681 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll bet you it's spawling. And you know, in 682 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 2: Monterey you're not going to have extreme cold temperatures, and 683 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 2: spawling will sometimes occur in cold weather climates where rock 684 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 2: salt is used, but you don't have that issue. So 685 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 2: what I would say, and it's hard to diagnose without 686 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 2: seeing it. But I know what you're saying. I know 687 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 2: what we're talking about, the same thing. It's called spawling. 688 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:37,359 Speaker 2: And my guess is not maybe so much the inferior concrete, 689 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 2: though it could be, but I think it's more of 690 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 2: an inferior installation. What will happen, and see if this 691 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 2: makes sense to you. When the concrete is poured out 692 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,800 Speaker 2: the out of the cement truck, if you will, on 693 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 2: concrete truck, it's. 694 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: Poured into a form. 695 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 2: And then if you've ever seen it surface, there's people 696 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 2: around with big flat I'll call them trials, or they 697 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:14,720 Speaker 2: level the concrete, and on warmer days, that's hard work. 698 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 2: So what sometimes installers will do is they will add 699 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,919 Speaker 2: water to that mixture on the surface of the concrete 700 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 2: so that they can float the concrete and make it 701 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 2: more smooth when it's being installed. By putting that water 702 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 2: on the surface and being able to move it, it 703 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 2: creates a cream on the surface of the concrete which 704 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 2: is not as strong as the concrete itself, so it 705 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 2: starts flaking or popping off or creating these spawling holes. 706 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 2: So to answer your question, is if they're a quarter 707 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 2: inch deep, no roller rock is not going to cover 708 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 2: that up. There are different products out there on the 709 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 2: market that are concrete surfacer. In fact, if you go 710 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 2: to that Dice Coatings, they have one called patch Fix 711 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 2: which is already pre mixed. You can use that to 712 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 2: patch it and then you could leave it at that, 713 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 2: or you could use the roller rock to resurface it 714 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:15,760 Speaker 2: on top. 715 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: Of the patch it all right. I hope that helps. 716 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 2: Thank you very much for the call.
