1
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: All right, do we again? It is Welcome at Home

2
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: with Gary Salvin. This I was brought to you by

3
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: tear Mender. You've heard me talk about air mender. I

4
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: like to refer to it as a cloth construction adhesive.

5
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: That's right.

6
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if you had to hem your genes, it

7
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: comes in a tube.

8
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: Hem your gens. No sewing.

9
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: You tear a pocket on a coat, no problem to

10
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: air mender. Maybe fabric from outdoor cushions. We're about to

11
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: are putting those away. Make that repair and use terrra mender.

12
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: You can check it out. It's ter mender dot com.

13
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: We thank them for sponsoring this hour of our show.

14
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: And you're at home with Gary Sealvin taking your calls,

15
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: rerunning your home project. It's eight hundred eight two three

16
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: A two five five. Going back to Joehagen and the

17
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: deck conversation. Like I said, Joe does some marvelous work

18
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: and you can check that out at all decked out

19
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: five to one three dot com. Now, I understand that

20
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: not everybody can build a six figure deck, So throughout

21
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: the weekend, I'm gonna give you some tips of what

22
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: you need to look out for, and probably the biggest

23
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: tip I can give you on a wood deck, I'll

24
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: combine two of them and then we'll get to the phones.

25
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: Number one.

26
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Is, I do not recommend a deck cover up coding.

27
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: I have not seen one that's really gonna give you

28
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: what you're expecting. Now that's a bold statement. I don't

29
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: know what you're expecting. But most people that use that,

30
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: it's called cover up, it's called restore, it's called all

31
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: kinds of different things. They think if I put this

32
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: on my cracking, splintering, pressure treated wood, I put this

33
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: on it and I don't have to worry about it again,

34
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: That's not true.

35
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: Uh, it'll give you.

36
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: It'll give you extended life four to five years, which

37
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: is what it was intended to do. And I'm okay.

38
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: If that's your expectations to put it on and forget

39
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: about it and do no maintenance to it from here

40
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: on end, I'm I'm I don't recommend it.

41
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: Because this is not going to do it.

42
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: And the other tip I'm going to throw in at

43
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: you is, if you want your deck to last and

44
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: it's been constructed, you know the correct way maintain it,

45
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: clean it, and seal it, and you're probably gonna have

46
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: to seal it every two or three years. In most cases,

47
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: if you're a real shady are in not so much,

48
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: but direct sunlight probably two to three years, darker colors

49
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: the three years, clear one year, okay, but maintaining that

50
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: is really critical.

51
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: And happy to take your calls on that too.

52
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the phone calls we got Mike, Mike, welcome.

53
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: Hello, Yes, sir, yes, yes. Generally, is Roto Ruter going

54
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: to be cheaper than a plumber to unclog a sewer line?

55
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: And do they put in clean out or just.

56
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: Run a ter? Is a plumber, so they they When

57
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: that company originally started, they were sewerling cleaners, you know,

58
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: that's that was their main business. But they have full

59
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: service plumbing. So in terms of price, no, I think

60
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: they're all going to be about in the same category.

61
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

62
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: I think a little bit of it also depends on

63
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: what they're going to run into. Is their repair that

64
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: needs to be made. They could put a clean out

65
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: in there for you, because they are plumbers, they can

66
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: run a scope down there for you to see what

67
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: the issue is. A lot of times it's not necessarily

68
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: just clogged. The pipe is separate it's cracked, there's tree

69
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: roots in it, and there may have to be a

70
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: repair made. So, like anything with plumbing, it just doesn't

71
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: get as straight answer.

72
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: But can go ahead?

73
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: Can you kill the tree roots? I mean without cutting them?

74
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: Can you? Yeah?

75
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

76
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

77
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: In fact, you know, it depends on obviously how big

78
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: they are, but for the most part, yes, a pipe

79
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: will separate. Trees will get into the separation looking for water,

80
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: and they'll grow and they'll collect stuff along the way

81
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: and they'll net together, and you know, a plumber or

82
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: roto router if they come out, they'll have a snake,

83
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: a power snake. It can even have cutting teeth on

84
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: the front of it where they can bore through that.

85
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: But can you pour a liquid in there, little little

86
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: kill the roots or does that just too slow a process?

87
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: It's you can pour a liquid in there to prevent roots,

88
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: but once they're established, you're going to have to have

89
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: somebody clean them out.

90
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: If you want to.

91
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: Check into that, you go to the hardware store.

92
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: Look for a product called aerobic.

93
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Roe b ic and they have a root killer and

94
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: it's copper sulfate. It foams and if it's just a

95
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: little bit of hair, roots or something just kind of

96
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: starting it'll burn those back. But if it's a you know,

97
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: established roots into the pipe, no, it's not going to

98
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: eliminate that.

99
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 3: My line is appears to be PBC can can roots

100
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: invade PVC pipe.

101
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: Not as easily as the old clay pipes or metal pipes.

102
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: Okay, but a plumber would have to tell me.

103
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: That, tell you what's in there, sure, or they'll just

104
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: try and snake it out. Either a rotor router or

105
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: a plumber, they'll try and snake it out. If they

106
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: start having problem, they'll usually put a scope down and

107
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: see what the problem is and then rectify the problem

108
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: at that point.

109
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, you bet, take care all right.

110
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: Our phone numbers eight hundred eight two three eight two

111
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: five five. You can grab a line and Mike welcome.

112
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: Thank you for taking my call.

113
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: Gary, you bet.

114
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: I had a shingle guy over and he showed me

115
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 4: pictures of granules missing on one side of the house.

116
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: Was on his side, of course, and I was just

117
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 4: wondering if there's some way to just replace those. I

118
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 4: know there's that roof max stuff that I think it's

119
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: just after the cracks kind of ceiling for a little while,

120
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: but I was wondering if you can spray like a

121
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 4: tar and then the granules.

122
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Over it, or something like how old is that roof?

123
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: Fifteen years?

124
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: Did you got pictures of the shingles themselves? I do, Okay,

125
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: how worn are they? I mean, is there a lot

126
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: old spots?

127
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't say bald spots. I'd say you can

128
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: definitely tell the difference between brand new ones which kind

129
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: of look like the back ones in the front one.

130
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

131
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: So to answer your question, can I just spray tar

132
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: on it and put some granulas on there?

133
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: No?

134
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: Not really, not really. Can you replace just that side? Yeah, yeah,

135
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: you can do that, probably won't match exactly the rest

136
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: of the roof, And I'm assuming this is just from

137
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, the worn area is just day to day

138
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: living of the shingle. Right in fifteen years, it's just

139
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: losing its protection. So think about the granular coatings on that.

140
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: That is what protects the shingles. Once it gets to

141
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: a point of being worn, it makes the shingle itself

142
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: vulnerable and it's starts cracking and contra to what you say,

143
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: roof Max. Once that shingle really begins to crack and

144
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: there's bald spots. They're not even going to mess with

145
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: it because what their product does is the intention of

146
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: that product is to allow your roof to exist to

147
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: its warranted time frame. So if we have a thirty

148
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: year warranted roof, at about year twenty, the granular protection

149
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: will probably start being a little worn and roof Max

150
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: will actually spray a ceilant on their They don't add

151
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: granular protection. They spray a ceilant on there to maintain

152
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: the existing granular protection for five years. And you can

153
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: do that up to three times.

154
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: So is there a rental tool and on default product

155
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: that can do that and I can do it myself

156
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: or not?

157
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with it.

158
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: No, I mean they probably have something that could spread

159
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: in the roof, but I don't know if you can

160
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: buy the ceiling. I've not run into that. I actually

161
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: I have run into that. There's been a couple I

162
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: can't remember the names that have come and.

163
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 4: Gone yeah, okay, So that tells me how good they were?

164
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: Well, no, it tells you that most people aren't going

165
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: to do it themselves, I think is really what I

166
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: tells you.

167
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 4: I don't want to get there anything. I switch gears

168
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 4: of a suffecting problem.

169
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: Okay, So I had him cleaned.

170
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 4: And one guy, the guy that did it, said there

171
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 4: was a pretty big tree route going through one of them.

172
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: Of course he doesn't go down there and cut it.

173
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 5: But I'm just thinking that that tank is built in

174
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 5: two pieces and put together, and then a tree route

175
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 5: goes through that scene, they'd be lifting that scene apart.

176
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 5: So I'm wondering if I should be concerned and dig

177
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 5: that down and quirk it up.

178
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: Well, if there's a tree roote growing through it, I'd

179
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: be somewhat concerned it's going to keep continuing to grow.

180
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: What was his answer to the tree root problem?

181
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: Nothing other than he had to work harder.

182
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well I guess, I uh, I guess

183
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm not really in a position and tell you to

184
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: go down and cut it and then quirk this septic tank.

185
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't I can't see it. I

186
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: don't think that would be the greatest thing inside a

187
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: septic tank.

188
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: Okay, dar enough, all right, Wait, what problem would I

189
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 5: see if that's leaking out like craziness?

190
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: Well, if a septic tank is leaking, usually you'll have

191
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: very green grass around the septic tank. Same thing you

192
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: would have if you had a leech line.

193
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 6: I don't know what that is.

194
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's going to the septic tank. But anyway,

195
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: in a septic tank with it, you know the bacterian

196
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: stuff that's inside a septic tank. If you have a leakage,

197
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: you're going to have some very well fertilized grass around

198
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: that and you will see that. So that would be

199
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: an indication that there's a problem. All right, let's take

200
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: a break. Well, come back, we got Don and Rick.

253
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 6: My wife and I have listened on Saturdays and have

254
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 6: found a lot of good tips, especially since I'm not

255
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 6: a real handyman, So thank you for all your help.

256
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: Thank you.

257
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 6: We live in northeast Ohio, and I wanted to just

258
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 6: confirm what you said about deck maintenance. There deck that

259
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 6: we've had since around nineteen ninety five on our house,

260
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 6: and sure enough, as we put a darker cedar tone

261
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 6: stain on their latex base every year, that deck is great.

262
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 6: Many times it looks like it's almost brand new, and

263
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 6: so maintenance was key. We also, about I would say

264
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 6: about fifteen or twenty years, who I can't remember, we

265
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 6: did put that restore product down there, and because we

266
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 6: had some some splintering, like you say, the things that

267
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 6: would cover up, which it did a great job, and

268
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 6: it did last about ten years for us, probably due

269
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 6: to the fact that I still went out every year

270
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 6: and tried it the first year where I put the

271
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 6: stain over the restore and then I watched it the

272
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 6: see if it, you know, the next year to see

273
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 6: if it was a problem. It really helped. It kind

274
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 6: of brightened it up and it looked new again. Sure so,

275
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 6: that deck has had thirty coats of late tex stained

276
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 6: a quality brand on there, and the thing is lasted great.

277
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: So you maintain the heck out of it. And also,

278
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, and let me withdraw a little bit of

279
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: that compliment or comment. So much of hell, yeah, so

280
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: much of it has to do with the location of

281
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: the deck, the color of the deck, how often that

282
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: deck is cleaned, how much sunlight the deck gets. If

283
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: you can somewhat shaded area, of course, it's going to

284
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: last much longer than a southwest facing with no trees.

285
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: I mean.

286
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying that for what's worth. And I'm

287
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: guessing when you use that restore, and I'll tell you

288
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: what problems I have with it in just a second.

289
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: When you're using that restore, I'm guessing you use like

290
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: a latex solid color stain on top of it.

291
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which is fine.

292
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: Don't I just don't want anybody to think you could

293
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: put a semi transparent over it, because it wouldn't penetrate.

294
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: So a latex solid color stain would be great. Usually

295
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: the issue don with the restore. And I'm not saying

296
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: in all cases, but I've had you know, I've probably

297
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: had more complaints about it than I have had compliments.

298
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: So that's what I justify making that comment with and

299
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: usually when I mentioned it, I always have somebody say, well,

300
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: I had no problems with.

301
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: It, and that's wonderful.

302
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: I got kind of turned off when people were buying

303
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: brand new pressure treated wood and their first staining project

304
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: was the restore and they'd say, well, that's stuff peeled off. Yeah,

305
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: because that deck was still kind of wet and it's

306
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: not going to hang on even if you follow the direction.

307
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's great that you do that in all honesty.

308
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, we didn't put it on there until it was

309
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 6: you know, fifteen years in, yeah or so, and uh,

310
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 6: but I did put it over the stain that I

311
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 6: had there.

312
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's fine, And pretend let me put you

313
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: on hold. I know you got a question too, And

357
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: and we've got Don on the line. We had a

358
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: conversation about codings for decking and what else can I

359
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: do for you?

360
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 6: Don Yeah, one other question I had real quickly there

361
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 6: is that I cleaned my vinyl sighting myself to share

362
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 6: with a mixture of uh, I forget what it's called

363
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 6: the pool cleaner. And then I did buy a commercial

364
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 6: one from Lows and it seemed to be the same stuff.

365
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 6: But anyway, once I got done with all that kind

366
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 6: of dull the siding, and I was wondering if there

367
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 6: was a product or something that you can put on

368
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 6: vinyl siding that would kind of bring it back around

369
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 6: a little bit, a little bit brighter. Yeah, instead of

370
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 6: so dull.

371
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: It probably got dull, quite honestly, because it's clinging, to

372
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: be honest with you. But what a lot of people

373
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: don't realize is, you know, I know, when you're buying sighting,

374
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: you know they claim, is this stuff lasts forever because

375
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: the colors all the way through the vinyl. Well, the

376
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: other side of that coin is, but vinyl, the coloring

377
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: on vinyl siding oxidizes, so it gets dull and it

378
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: almost chalks, not like the old paint where it washes

379
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: down on the brick, but it chalks. It oxidizes and

380
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: chalks and it gets dull. There is a product out

381
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: there and dog Gun, and I can't remember the name

382
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: of it, and it came out on the market. The

383
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: Flood Corporation reduced it originally and they were going to

384
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: use it as a service. Professional people would come around.

385
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: They would use the cleaner on it, and they would

386
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: paint this clear liquid on it, and for I think

387
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: it was eight years, it would stay shiny and then

388
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: you'd have to redo it.

389
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: And it was too expensive. It didn't go anywhere.

390
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: So then they packaged it and they sold it as

391
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: a vinyl shutter cleaner and rejuvenator. So if you google that,

392
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: you'll probably find the product. There's a couple manufacturers out there.

393
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: Still.

394
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: I will tell you it's labor intensive, which is the

395
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: reason it didn't work as a service product. But what

396
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: you'll do is there's a cleaner and you will use

397
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: their cleaner and then you will apply a clear self

398
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: leveling film that creates a sheen, a mild satney sheen.

399
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: Rejuvenate that color. You'll make that color pop again.

400
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 6: You put that on with like a spray or some sort.

401
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: I think you can use a brush.

402
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: I know.

403
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: See it's mainly designed for shutters. Now just because of

404
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: the amount of work, so it's going to talk more

405
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: in terms of shutters. But you can use it on

406
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: anything vinyl. You can use it on a vinyl chair

407
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: if you wanted to. But and sighting, but I I

408
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: if if memory serves me, it's been a while. I

409
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: think a kid of this. I can't remember the price,

410
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: but it would do sixteen shutters just to give you

411
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: an idea of square footage. So it's not a huge

412
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: amount of products. So you'll you'll have to google it.

413
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: You'll find it, and maybe there's one that's you know,

414
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: a gallon of it is for vinyl, uh, you know, sighting,

415
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: but I think it's mainly focused on shutters now, and

416
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 1: just a caveat here is you can, regardless of what

417
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: people tell you, you can paint vinyl sighting.

418
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what color.

419
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: It is, but their Sherman Williams has a special tint

420
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: that can go into their emerald paint where it will

421
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: not absorb heat. The color will not absorb heat and

422
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: cause vinyl to warp, and it's called color safe, so

423
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: they you know, if worse came to worse than you

424
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: wanted to paint it, that's an option also, so that do.

425
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 6: You think appeals after a certain amount of time or

426
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 6: anything like that.

427
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 1: Well, it's coating, so certainly if you don't have it

428
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: really good and clean. Uh, the emerald is self uh

429
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: self priming.

430
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 6: And yes, and that's an X product. I use that

431
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 6: on our foundation. So it's been great. I've had twelve

432
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 6: years in space.

433
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's an option. I mean you can go

434
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: talk to them, but look up the vinyl first. I

435
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: mean it's quick and easy and probably a little cheaper,

436
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: but more work.

437
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

438
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, at my age, more work sounds like maybe just.

439
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: Get well there is a privilege with that.

440
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 9: Yeah.

441
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 6: Well, hey, I appreciate your time and about the deck

442
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 6: was helpful and reassuring to me anyway in this sighting thing.

443
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 6: I'd answer some of the questions I had out there

444
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 6: while I'm trying to wash that thing and spray it off.

445
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: So very good.

446
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,720

453
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 10: Welcome, Hey, Gary, thanks for taking my call.

454
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 2: You bet hey.

455
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 10: I have a some pump in a pit and it

456
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 10: used to always be filled with water from the condensate

457
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 10: pump was routed to it. Why fixed that years ago

458
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 10: and put a condensate pump you know outside, But they

459
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 10: I bought a brand new post, some pump with a

460
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 10: cast iron base.

461
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 2: Ok.

462
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 10: I called a post because it's the one that you

463
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 10: know sits like two feet high. Yeah, And we had

464
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 10: water come in one time because it's connected to my

465
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 10: garage to an underground pipe and when the car drips

466
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 10: in the winter, you know, it gets six inches of water.

467
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 10: And it worked after that. Now it's frozen. I think

468
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 10: the cast iron, you know, rusted together, the impeller and

469
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 10: the casing and all that could be. So I was

470
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 10: trying to figure out what other type of sumpump to

471
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 10: buy that once a year water won't get it rusty

472
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 10: and freeze up.

473
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question.

474
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm very familiar with those pumps.

475
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: In fact, that was just down at their factory in

476
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: Louisville about three weeks ago. They're cast iron, but they're

477
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: painted so there would be.

478
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: Some protection there. I don't know why that would rust

479
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: so fast.

480
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 10: Well, it was just bear cast. It was like black cast.

481
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 10: I figured it was maybe coated, if not even that.

482
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 10: But I saw in the in the home stores, of course,

483
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 10: they have you know, sixteen different kinds of some pumps,

484
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 10: and I didn't know if one of those stubby ones

485
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 10: with the you know, the float that hangs right beside

486
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 10: the motor would be a better choice.

487
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: Well, I think it would be. I'd say most some

488
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: pumps that are solder. There's two types. There's what they

489
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: call submersible pump, which is the small one that sits down,

490
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: and then the tall one is the pedestal pump.

491
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, that's I wanted that just because I could

492
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 10: see the motor and it looked a lot more heavy duty.

493
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, But for the most it's part to submersibles of

494
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: what you used. And I don't know how far down

495
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: your float, whether that thing just satin water all the time.

496
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 10: No, Well, in the old days, but the previous owner

497
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 10: of this house, like I said, the furnace was routed

498
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 10: to the sump, so during the summertime it was filled

499
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 10: with water all the time from the ac condensation.

500
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 2: On that water is corrosive.

501
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, well this I bought a new pump when I

502
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 10: put an actual condensate pump on and pumped into my backyard.

503
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I actually filled my rain.

504
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 10: Barrel up now and I water my plants with it,

505
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 10: so it can't be too bad.

506
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

507
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of times when you have a floor

508
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 1: drain with a metal little cover on the top of

509
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: those things are so rusted. People always want to know why,

510
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: and quite honestly, it's the cross of nature of that water.

511
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: So I don't know about it in terms of plants.

512
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 10: But uh, well, this's just from the condensate pump from

513
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 10: the AC unit. Now it goes out into a rain barrel, yeah,

514
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 10: instead of been to the floor. But anyway, Yeah, I

515
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 10: just don't want to buy another one hundred dollars some

516
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 10: pump and you know, two years from now when it

517
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 10: needs to work. One time it'll work and then yeah,

518
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 10: two years later it's frozen.

519
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: I really I can't imagine it failing because of that

520
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: unless there was a very very high salt content.

521
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 10: You said, you know it's no, well it is from

522
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 10: the it would be from the car.

523
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it turns on once a year, maybe

524
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: get a five gallon bucket of water and pour it

525
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: in there and just flush that thing out.

526
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 10: Well I could also just take my wet back and

527
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 10: suck it out every time too, I guess.

528
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, if that's all you're using it for, maybe that

529
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: is an option. I don't know, but you know, I

530
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: do know that I don't know the corrosive nature of

531
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: the water. It's obviously corrosive because it's water, plus it's

532
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: got salt in it. But one time and you put

533
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: a good some pump down there where it's painted and protected,

534
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 1: I just I'm surprised it froze up that fast as all.

535
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 10: Well, it shot me because they went to change my

536
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 10: water heater and they said, well, it's easy just to

537
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 10: dump it in the sump pump, and of course it

538
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 10: wouldn't pump, so as they're filling the pit up, we

539
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 10: were getting the flooded basement.

540
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well that's when we found out that.

541
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 10: After two years of sitting it just it wouldn't turn.

542
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

543
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 10: Well yeah, well, you know, the garage drips into the

544
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 10: sump pump pit, so whatever comes off your car in

545
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 10: the winter would be salty water.

546
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, salty water and then the fact that it's

547
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: just not being used.

548
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: I know.

549
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: On regular maintenance sheets, which I'll talk about a lot

550
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: for our home, one of the things is quarterly testing

551
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: the sump pump. You know, five gallon bucket of water

552
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: port down there. Make sure that pump turns on. Maybe

553
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: unplug it, five gallon bucket of water port in there.

554
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: Make sure your back of the pump comes on, always

555
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: a good idea. Make sure it's ready for combat when

556
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: we have a del user rain.

557
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 10: So well, I should know that working at a hospit

558
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 10: all in doing all kinds of maintenance on pipes and stuff,

559
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 10: you know, the HVAC system, you know, exercising valves all the.

560
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: Time, right right, exactly so, but.

561
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 10: They don't have water in the pit anymore. I don't

562
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 10: even think.

563
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: About it, right, I understand.

617
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 1: if I accomplish anything each and every weekend, it's more

618

Speaker 1: about just how important maintaining your investment your house is.

619
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: Addressing the issues and working to the source of the problem.

620
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: That's the key, and maybe not trying to do stuff

621
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: yourself because you just have this idea that I can

622
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: go up and spray glue on my roof and throw

623
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: sand on it and that shingle will go for another

624
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: twenty years. Nothing in life is usually that easy, and

625
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: you know that's too easy. I'm all about easy, but

626
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: it's got to work, all right, that kit welcome?

627
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 2: Hey?

628
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 11: How long are you Gary?

629
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: Doing? Fine? Thanks?

630
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 5: Hey?

631
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 11: I have just this summer had a garage built. The

632
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 11: garage lab The exterior has two courses of block and

633
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 11: then above that it's framed wood framing. The exterior on

634
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 11: two sides is brick, then the other exit. The back

635
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 11: is a fib or smit Satine. My issue is there's

636
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 11: water running into my garage floor where the floor and

637
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 11: the block.

638
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 9: Meat heavy rain we had, I think it was two

639
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 9: weeks ago. Uh water ponding in the garage.

640
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 11: Running all the way across to the exterior doors and

641
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 11: gathering there.

642
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 12: The builder came in and said that the drain pipe

643
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 12: around the perimeter of the garage was above the floor.

644
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 11: So he came back and dug it in and uh

645
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 11: back fuild it. Well, I've put a sprinkler hose on

646
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 11: it to check it, and I have less water, but

647
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 11: I still have water running across my garage floor.

648
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: And the sour.

649
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: The sources in that natural scene between the brick and

650
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: the slab or the block and the slab craw correct, Yes, Okay,

651
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: well I think he was kind of correct. Okay, Obviously

652
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: it didn't solve it, so he hadn't one hundred percent correct.

653
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: So when you were explaining what was going on, the

654
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: first thing I was thinking was exactly what he said.

655
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: I wonder how the drain tile is around that structure,

656
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: because when we get these monsooner like rains and we

657
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: just happen to be an area where we have a

658
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: relatively elevated water table beneath a slab, and you know,

659
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: a torrential rain and it moves that water table higher,

660
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: and we have this natural seam. If we don't have

661
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: any way to carry that water away, that water table

662
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: will come up and water finds the path of the

663
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: least resistance, and that seam is it. And the answer

664
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: is not to not to pass that seem it's you

665
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: know the inch the water. Yeah, you gotta get the

666
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: water away. So like when you're waterproofing a house, I

667
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: use this analogy. The people that will waterproof a house

668
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: and give you a warranty, a lifetime warranty, all right,

669
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: what they'll do is they will first check.

670
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 10: Uh, what.

671
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: Kind of drainage pipe you have around the foundation. That'd

672
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 1: be number one. You know, as it's raining, let's catch

673
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: that water right away, let's start moving it away from

674
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: that foundation. And then they'll go inside the structure and

675
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: they'll cut a six inch wide path through that slab

676
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: and dig that slab out and put drainage pipe in there,

677
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: which will catch the water, rout it to a sump well,

678
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 1: and pump it away from the structure. Now, I don't

679
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: know if all that stuff is going to address the

680
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: issues you have, But my opinion is it would address

681
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: all of the issues. The drainage pipe around the outside

682
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: is certainly catching surface water or the rain from that's

683
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: falling from the sky. Right it's catching that water and

684
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: it's moving it away. It didn't move it away because

685
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: the pipe was above that seam. So he dug it

686
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: deeper and he decreased the amount of water that was

687
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: coming in, but it didn't get rid of all of it.

688
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: And maybe it's because I don't know that the water

689
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: table beneath the slab is not being controlled. So beneath

690
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: the slab, that drainage system is catching it underneath the slab,

691
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: and it's getting it. You know, it's like venezla as

692
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: the water's coming up. If it can go into a

693
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: path least resistance of piping have it on slope and

694
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: putting it into sump well and pumping it away from

695
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: the house, you've controlled its path of least resistance.

696
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 11: Okay, Now the situation I have is I don't believe

697
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 11: it's a water table issue. And I say that because I.

698
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 13: Am not at the top of the hill, but near

699
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 13: the top of the hill. I believe that it is

700
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 13: probably a drainage issue. The back left corner.

701
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 9: Where the water comes in the worst is below grade.

702
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 9: The force lamb is.

703
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 12: Actually below the exterior grade.

704
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 9: And the raid brings the water to the garage in

705
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 9: that corner right.

706
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 11: The grade.

707
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 9: I think it's more of a grade situation.

708
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're yeah, and and so you're there. You

709
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: can see that grading may be the issue. And certainly

710
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: before I started cutting the slab on the inside of

711
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: the structure, i'd certainly be addressing all of my outside grades.

712
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: You know, maybe it needs a bigger pipe on the

713
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: back end where the hillside is, or something along nose lines.

714
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's not catching all the water. Uh

715
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: So that's probably where I would start. I'd get them

716
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: out there and let's talk about this again, you know that,

717
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: or get an excavator out there and see what we

718
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: can do. Maybe a swale can be done, Maybe an

719
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: exposed uh you know grading to move that water away

720
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: would be the answer. Hopefully that helps you. Thank you

721
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: much for the call. If you're on hold, Dennis and Dan,
