Can you hear me? 15 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 3: Okay? 16 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: I can thank you great deal. 17 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: My question is I bought a house February and one 18 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: hundred year old house and I had it inspected put 19 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 2: up in the attic there was a lot of insulation 20 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 2: that the inspector couldn't see, couldn't get back to part 21 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: of it. And result is we took all the insulation 22 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: out and found a lot of white mold up in 23 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 2: the attic, and I got a total space of about 24 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 2: seven hundred square feet. It's a smaller house, and about 25 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 2: half of that has some white mold up on the rafters. 26 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: And so what I did I put a fan of 27 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: a pretty good fan up in the attic to get 28 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: some air out. I found out that the soff events 29 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: that look like they're vented on the outside aren't really 30 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: vented there. All right, Pallas, I'm gonna get some holes 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: up in there and get some hair going up into 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: the attic. But my question is this mold stuff. Is 33 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: that anything I can try and fix up myself? 34 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: Depends what kind of mold it is really alan So 35 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: there's over like three hundred species of mold. Okay, most 36 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: of the mold is penicillium. I'm not downplaying that. I'm 37 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: just saying that's not a real it's not like dangerous 38 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: black mold or whatever. But without knowing the species, that's 39 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: hard to answer. A lot of times, rule of thumb 40 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: is and and this is going to be your decision. 41 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: Rule of thumb as if it's over like ten square feet, 42 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: probably something you shouldn't mess with yourself. But if you 43 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: choose to, there's plenty of products that will work from 44 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: the wet and forget mold killer and this infect it 45 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: and mold eliminator I think is what's called. And there's 46 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: other brands also where you spray it on and it 47 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: will kill it. You don't use bleaching water because for somehow, 48 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: some reason, mold knows it's under attack with bleach and 49 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: water and it just blows all kinds of spores out 50 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: and basically intensifies the problem. So you can also have 51 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: the mold tested, and I'm not talking about a little 52 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: there's a couple of ways to test it. Well. There's three. Three. 53 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: Primary one you can get a professional in there and 54 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: let them test it, which is the best and most accurate. 55 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: The little things you can get at the hardware store 56 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: where it's a little petri dish basically, and you just 57 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: put up there and mold starts growing on it. You 58 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: mail it away and they'll tell you what it is. 59 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: That's there's mold spores everywhere in an attic where there's 60 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: some ventilation coming from the outside too, so you could 61 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: grow anything in there without specifically knowing about that mold 62 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: that you're looking at. There's also one called a ten 63 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: minute mold test. Kit. It doesn't tell you what it is, 64 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: it just tells you if it's a dangerous mold or not. 65 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: I think it's called a five minute test kit. They're 66 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: about thirty forty bucks. So that's kind of my info 67 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: on it. And what you see with the so called 68 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: softed ventilation and not being ventilate's kind We've had that 69 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: call several times in just the last couple of weeks, 70 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: which is interesting. I've never really thought about that minor ventilated. 71 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, if it looks like it is, and yeah 72 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: it's a solid wood panel, be on there. It's not 73 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: helping you out too much. What do you have? You 74 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: got a ridge vent up? 75 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: There? 76 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: No, no ridge vent I'm going to have to redo 77 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 2: the roof, but that's a year or two away in 78 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: the budget. 79 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: Okay, So there is a formula for that when you 80 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: get to that point for ventilation. Basically, the formula is 81 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: for every three hundred square foot print of the house, 82 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: not square footage of the house, the footprint of the house, 83 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: you need one square foot of uninterrupted ventilation. Now that 84 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: ventilation is always interrupted, sometimes by more than fifty percent, 85 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: so you've got to calculate that or the roofer should 86 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: know that calculation and calculate that accordingly to get that 87 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: good airflow in there. And then the other question is 88 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: how how did that happen? Was it just lack of 89 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: ventilation or is there a fan that's vented in there? 90 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a fan in there before. I don't 91 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: know how well it was, but I think a lot 92 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 2: of the moisture seemed to be above where the bathroom 93 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: used to be, so it was getting up through that way. 94 00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 95 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: I'm also about when I get rid of this mold 96 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: and I go to put the insulation, gets more blown 97 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: in and put it in there. Living up here in Cleveland, 98 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: all right, variable climate, would you recommend putting down a 99 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 2: vapor barrier before I put the insulation down. 100 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, there should be a vapor barrier down. There's a 101 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: couple of ways to insulate a home and ventilate a home, 102 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: and one we're seeing a lot now, but not in Cleveland. 103 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: It'd be more in the southeast. Would be like a 104 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: whole house encapsulation where you're foaming the sidewalls and foaming 105 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: the underside of the roof and not putting anything on 106 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: the floor. But in Cleveland, vapor barrier on the floor 107 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: and probably at least eighteen inches of insulation. 108 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, very good, Gary, thanks a lot. 109 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, take care by by all right, 110 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: you can join us again. It's eight hundred eight two 111 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: three eight two five five Jim. Welcome, Hi Gary, How 112 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: you doing doing fine? Thank you? 113 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 5: Hey, I got a question. 114 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 4: I've got a cabin and we can it closed up 115 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 4: a lot and then when we go down there, it's 116 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 4: pretty musty. And I saw this product caught a Panasonic 117 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 4: Whisper air repair. It's hardwired and it's designed to run 118 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 4: twenty four to seven. But I can't find any information 119 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 4: on it on YouTube or like reviews, And I wondered 120 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 4: if you knew anything about that. 121 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with it. What's it, dou Is it 122 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: a filter or what is it? 123 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 4: It's it's something that you cut a six inch hole 124 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: in your ceiling, you install it, you hardwire it, and 125 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 4: it's got like a little box attached to it, and 126 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 4: it's just supposed to be like an air filter. It's 127 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 4: supposed to pull in the air and somehow filters it 128 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 4: and it's supposed to clean the air. 129 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I am not familiar with it. I mean there's 130 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: a lot of those out there. So, what's the problem 131 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: in the cabin when you leave, you you got it 132 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: sealed up. Do you leave anything on? Is there any 133 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: electricity or any items that are on? 134 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: Well, the only thing that's on would be the clock 135 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 4: on the stove. 136 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: Okay. 137 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, if you know of any product, if you know 138 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 4: of any product that they have that you could just 139 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 4: kind of keep running twenty four to seven. That doesn't 140 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 4: draw a ton of I had I had a dehumidifier 141 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 4: and I tried to put it on a timer so 142 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 4: it wouldn't run constantly. But once the if the power 143 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 4: goes out intermittently, then the the timer doesn't work on 144 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 4: the dehumidifier because you have to be it's electronic and 145 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 4: you have to push the button to turn it on. 146 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. Is so is there any heat in there? I 147 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: mean you shut off the water, you shut off the heat, 148 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: you shut everything off. 149 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 4: There's no The only heat is would be from the fireplace. 150 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: But nobody's there, right, But nobody's there. Yeah, the Yeah, 151 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: and you don't have a mold. It's just stuffy in there, correct. 152 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 4: It's mildewy. 153 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. 154 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 4: It just like if you take if you take a 155 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 4: white like a flour ox wipe and wipe down the 156 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 4: furniture and stuff like that. You can see just a 157 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 4: little bit of like, uh, just coloration, so I don't know, 158 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 4: but you don't see any like. 159 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: There's no noticeable So is would you consider that cabin 160 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: air tight or just kind of leaky like a cabin. 161 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 4: It's it's a little more it's a little more air tight, 162 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 4: but there's the there's no flu in the chimney, so 163 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 4: there is the airflow from the from the chimney because 164 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 4: there's no flu. 165 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, so there is a product. You know. The The 166 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: one way you would normally stop this, and I know 167 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: it's a cabin and I know you're not going to 168 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: do this is to lead the heat did fifty eight 169 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: and just have that running and you'd get some air 170 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: movement and you know, stuff like that. But that can 171 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: be an expense. Run the doumidifier. That's an expense. There's 172 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: a product and this will be an expense too. It'd 173 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: be under a thousand bucks, but it'd be an expense. 174 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: You may have heard me speak of a product called 175 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: an easy breathe. This is yeah, this is not a filter. 176 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: This is an air exchanging unit. So you you know, 177 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: normally a way works in the house is people going 178 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: in and out of the house creates a fresh air 179 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: supply and it's pulling air out. I would want you 180 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: to go to their website. I would want you to 181 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: call them, but I think this might be a good 182 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: answer for you, even if you had to keep a 183 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: window just cracked ever so slightly, and it costs you 184 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: four dollars a month to run this thing, and it's 185 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: just a very very very I mean it'll exchange the 186 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: air out in the house, like six to eight times 187 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: a day'd be good. Yeah, it would just be just enough. 188 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: And I think that might have that might be a 189 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: good resource for you. I just don't know about filtering it. 190 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: A lot of those types of products will require maintenance 191 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: that require filters, et cetera, et cetera, and I and 192 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how effective it is. So you know, 193 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: the one I'm familiar with is that easy Breathe that 194 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: would have a potential, And you can check out their websites, 195 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: the letter E, the letter Z, and then breathe dot com. 196 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: Their phone number will be there and just give them 197 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: a call because they have consultants that will help talk 198 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: you through the whole thing and that might be a 199 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: real good option for you, at least, I hope. So, 200 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: thank you much, Jim, I I appreciate it. Sometimes just 201 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: the uh, maybe the blower on the furnace. I don't 202 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: know if there'd be enough PHILOSSI to really clean that 203 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: up too, so I would check and take a look 204 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: at that.

I know we say it 248 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: all the time, and it's so true when you walk 249 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: and study it and walk around that house and you 250 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: see things that just aren't right, go buy that it's 251 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: not right. You got to get to the bottom of 252 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: what's the cause. How can we fix it and get 253 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: to the base of the problem for sure, that's the key, Bob. 254 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: Welcome wello Gary. 255 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 8: I'm calling about what I call the September syndrome with 256 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 8: our drywall that is over and opening from the foyer 257 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 8: to the living room. The opening is about six feet 258 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 8: and above that opening is about thirteen inches of drywall, 259 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 8: and every September we're I don't know for how many 260 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 8: years we get a crack. Last year we got a crack, 261 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 8: but it was pretty ugly. So it went down and 262 00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 8: checked the a concrete block in the crawl space and 263 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 8: there was a pretty large step crack. So we called 264 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 8: in some pier people and they lasered the basement and 265 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 8: so forth, and found that there was some drop from 266 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 8: the central part of the basement. The basement seventy one 267 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 8: feet long, and there was quite a drop from the 268 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 8: center of the basement to the western end of the basement. 269 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 8: And we have had two structural engineers that come in 270 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 8: and I think I could have done a better job 271 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 8: than they did. But anyway, we had. 272 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 9: One peering done in the crawl space, limited height, and 273 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 9: so the workers could only drill down in place a 274 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 9: peer about nine feet deep. 275 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 8: Now the rest of the peering, since we have such 276 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 8: wonderful soil where we live, all the other piers, twenty 277 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 8: one of them, I believe, went down over seventy feet 278 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 8: before they hit substantial strata. To do anything to support 279 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 8: the house, we didn't ask them to raise it. We 280 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 8: just wanted them to stabilize it. So we thought maybe 281 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 8: that might be the problem. The other problem I'm always 282 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 8: thinking is we have a long span of trusses in 283 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 8: the attic. It's a T shaped home, and I'm always 284 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 8: thinking that maybe just temperature or something has to do 285 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 8: with the movement of these long trusses that would cause 286 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 8: this crack. But I'm also wondering if they're a header 287 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 8: above the entrance between the bowyer and the living room 288 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 8: is not strong enough to support or something, and they 289 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 8: get a little crack when the temperatures changed. Well, September 290 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 8: is the month. 291 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well you got two things that happened. Well, everything 292 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: you say, I would say, yes, it could be, it 293 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: could be, it could be, it could be. And obviously 294 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: you didn't have much luck with the structural engineer. But 295 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: that's the first thing I would do also, is to 296 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, you need a structural engineer to figure out 297 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: exactly what the cause is. Something's moving or it wouldn't 298 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: be cracking, Okay, And then let's just take a look 299 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: at whether you brought it up. And one of the 300 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: things that happens in September is, you know, we have 301 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: a change in temperatures. We also have a big change 302 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 1: in humidity. I had mentioned earlier in the show that 303 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,239 Speaker 1: I had even walked around start checking crown molding and 304 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: baseboard moning to see if there was any pool away 305 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: that I'll usually get in January because of dry I 306 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: was just doing it, not because I was concerned. I 307 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: just kind of wanted to check it out. And I 308 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: did not see anything in my house. But you know, 309 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: the only I'm not going to obviously be able to 310 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: answer the question, Bob, but the only person that I 311 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: would know would be a structural engineer and get in 312 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: there to diagnose what is the cause stabilization? Sure, twenty 313 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: one peers, that's a bunch, it almost sounds like, and 314 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: it's an interior issue with support more than a stabilization 315 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: of the foundation, which would have been the first thing 316 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: I would have looked at. Hope that helps. Coming up next, 317 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about that algaeon roofs that we 318 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: did earlier.

So you're 503 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 5: seeing them a lot more this time of year, definitely, 504 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 5: and you're like, what's happening all these cobwebs and everything. 505 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 5: So Miss Muffetts Revenge is a great product. Again, another one. 506 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 5: You just kind of spray it on there. You let 507 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 5: it kind of sit and you can come back the 508 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 5: next day and then brush down all those cobwebs. And 509 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 5: it's great for indoor and outdoor. So so this is good. 510 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 5: They love it. 511 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a good tip for everybody. Also, you 512 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: say indoor and outdoors, got an embasement, You get those 513 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: joist pockets and they usually got some just fiberglass insulation 514 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: stuff stuffed in there. It's not air tight at all, 515 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: and spiders love and cobwebs love to be in that area. 516 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: So you spray the spider web and everything and then 517 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: knock it down. 518 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,959 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, So yeah, just spray that area, and then 519 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 5: you can also spray like a perimeter of your house 520 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 5: and thinking inside just to kind of create a barrier 521 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 5: to keep them out too. So you're kind of getting 522 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 5: a super one there. You're getting rid of what you 523 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 5: got and keeping them out. 524 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: So and that functions for a while, that stays active. 525 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: That's not a just hit and done. I mean, you know, 526 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: it's not like we're spraying to kilt the spider. We're 527 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: creating a barrier. 528 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. So you like indoors, you'll get to twelve 529 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 5: months if you put that on there, you know, you'll 530 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 5: you'll be good for about twelve months with that outdoors. 531 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 5: You it depends on how much rain is hitting that barrier. 532 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 5: So you know, you just kind of pay attention. If 533 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 5: you notice your getting spiders again, just put another real 534 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 5: quick spray on. Again.

All right, let's get back 665 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: to the phone calls we got Rose Rose, Welcome. 666 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 10: Good morning, Thank you for taking my call. 667 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:48,919 Speaker 1: You bet. 668 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 10: My question is in we I live in a brick 669 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:58,760 Speaker 10: home and a neighbor's friend installed one of those frost 670 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 10: free faucets. You know that you don't have to drain 671 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 10: in the winter, right, Okay. I live in a brick house, 672 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 10: and the other day I was at the facet and 673 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 10: the ring around the fawcet covers the original hole in 674 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 10: the brick. However, I can stick my fingers, I would say, 675 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 10: two fingers along the pipe that goes into the house. 676 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 10: Do I need to fill that with any kind of insulation? 677 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: You probably should put something in there. You could put 678 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: a calocking, you could put expandable foam. 679 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, I was thinking of the foam. 680 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be ideal. The advantage of that, 681 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: of course, is you can keep the insects out of 682 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 1: that hole. You can keep cold temperatures out of there. 683 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: And that's a really good tip to rose and I 684 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 1: pass this on to anybody. Wherever there's penetrations going through 685 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: the envelope of the home, the brick, the sighting, it's 686 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: really imperative that they are relatively air tight. If you 687 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: can put two fingers in that hole, I mean a 688 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,919 Speaker 1: mouse could go up that wall. And get in there 689 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: and be inside your house and no time at all. 690 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: We had calls with hornets getting inside a home and 691 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: actually building their nest inside a home. And then we 692 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: got the cold air, we got ants, we got bugs, 693 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: we got all kinds of things, and that's their entry way. 694 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: When I'm talking about taking that walk around the home 695 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: and looking for things that don't look right, you did 696 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: exactly that. There's even some products out there. One of 697 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: them is called more Tight. It's a clay mouldible, so 698 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: it comes in it looks like a roll of gray string, 699 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: but it's multible. So if you don't want to mess 700 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 1: around with expandable foam, you can just take that more Tight. 701 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: It's just like a clay packing and just push that 702 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: in there. Just seal that up and then you'll be 703 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: on your way. But yeah, definitely get something in there. Rose, 704 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: thank you much for the call we got. Michelle, Michelle, welcome. 705 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 8: Bye. 706 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 3: We put a slooter system like heated tile floor in 707 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 3: our bath, in our shower, uh huh, couple of years ago, 708 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 3: and I've been trying to clean every once in a 709 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 3: while that it still has like that moldy smell or 710 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 3: musty smell and I think it's the ground, but I'm 711 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,720 Speaker 3: not sure that. I looked at the Wet and forget 712 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 3: that you talk about, but it said for non taurus surfaces, 713 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 3: So I didn't know if there was something you could 714 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 3: recommend for the heated tiling floor. 715 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, so is it dained? Is there discoloration or are 716 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 1: you just smelling something? 717 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 3: Mostly just smelling that I do see like in especially 718 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 3: the grout, like a kind of orange. 719 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they do have that wet and forget shower 720 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: and bathroom cleaner that we're just speaking of, which removes 721 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: molds and mildews, and that discoloration is probably the mold 722 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: and mildew. And that is a you know, if it's sealed, 723 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: it's a relatively you know, non pores surface. I mean, 724 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 1: I guess you could call it pores, but only by 725 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,240 Speaker 1: like one percent. I would certainly give that a try. 726 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: Another thing you might want to try is there's a 727 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: product we talk about by Jaws Jaws called cream cleanser, 728 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: which is excellent. 729 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 4: Uh. 730 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: I would try that, how wover? I do want to 731 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,839 Speaker 1: interject if you're having that in a bathroom and it's 732 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,319 Speaker 1: smelling moldy and just usually those stains don't really have 733 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: much odor, if any, and I would venture to guess 734 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,800 Speaker 1: that the odor smell that you have in that bathroom 735 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: is probably from the drain and what you might want 736 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: to do is get some get an enzyme drain cleaner, 737 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,280 Speaker 1: not an acid based drain cleaner, but an enzyme based 738 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,280 Speaker 1: drain cleaner. It's a powder. You mix it with water 739 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 1: and pour that down there, or get a snake and 740 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 1: snake that out. A lot of times we'll get hair 741 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: and soap which creates that smell and it just slightly 742 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: slows down the drainage of the shower. A lot of 743 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: times we don't even we don't even catch it. So 744 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: I would check that out.
