Jim dot Hey.

Speaker 7 (01:29):
Welcome to Texas Home Improvements, your total home improvement source.
I am Jim Dutton here to help you out any
home improvement question you have. Seven to one three two
one two, five eight seven four is the number to
call it. Seven one three two one two five eight
seven four. Now, of course, don't forget about our website

(01:51):
thhipro dot com. It is theres a resource to help
you out twenty four to seven. There's all kinds of
helpful information. Obviously, there's links to the people you hear
me talk about, and there are all people I've checked
out and know they're going to do great job for you.
There's a lot of questions and answers on the site
specifically to help you with projects that you're working on,

(02:14):
and there's a lot of videos to go with some
of those. There's also copies of TV shows we've done
and newsletters with helpful information. By the way, you can
sign up for our newsletter. It goes out every other week.
It's free of charge, so again, that's all at tchipro
dot com. And of course you ask Jim Button where
you can send in email questions as well. Now, when

(02:37):
you go to tchipro dot com, you're gonna notice to
get to our sponsors, the people I talk about. There's
find a contractor and you just go through there and
you'll find the contractors. I use tchipro dot com instead
of using all my different sponsors web addresses. And the

(02:59):
main reason is if you google them, you're going to
get copycat companies. I know because my own company do
wes we have a problem with that, and I know
all these great companies do as well. So you go
to thchipro dot com and you're bypassing all that you're
getting directly to the right company, knowing that you're going

(03:19):
to have the right company. With that being said, again,
any home improvement question you have, feel free to pick
up the phone and give me a call. Seven one
one three, two one two five eight seven four. So
I got this email question from Clarence about French train

(03:44):
replacement and installation of a forty year old system. He says, Hello,
love your show for many years we have installed new
flooring the dining room and living room. After two years,
moisture has come up through the concrete slab and room
the floor section. We have a French drain along the
outside wall of these rooms. We think that the drain

(04:06):
stopped removing the water and move through the footing and
slab to destroy the flooring. We would like to install
a new and better drain system. One. Do you have
a video reference for Houston, Texas that will show us
the Houston way to install a French drain? We've had

(04:29):
many opinions. Two, do you have a contractor reference that
really knows how to do it the correct way? Not
one like we've had that is hoping to find a
crew that might know how to do it the Houston way.
I'm eighty three now and cannot do the labor any

(04:50):
longer to do it myself, love to and buy all
the materials. Help Ben. Okay, let's go back to the first,
the French doors. The French doors themselves could actually be
your culprit, because French doores are notorious for leaking water

(05:10):
in when it rains, so that in itself could be
the issue. But let's make the assumption that the doors
aren't leaking. Let's talk about French strains for a minute. Now.
A lot of times people will have surface drains and
say they have French strains. A French drain is underground.

(05:32):
And to do a French drain around a foundation, right,
you've got to go a minimum of twelve inches deeper
than the foundation footing. Why because that capturing the water
from going under the foundation. So a true French drain,
the way it works, you have a trench and it

(05:53):
may be you know, if you got to beam on
the house, it's twenty four inches in the ground. You
may have a thirty six inch deep hole. You may
have to go five feet. Yeah, yeah, it has to
be looked at you to make those determinations. But let's
just go with a thirty six inch. So you're gonna
put a little bit of gravel in the bottom. You're

(06:16):
gonna put a perforated pipe that typically has a sock
on it to keep fines from getting into the pipe.
And then you're gonna fill that cavity that that trench
with gravel all the way up to within about six
inches of the top. So that is what a true

(06:37):
French strain is. Now, all that gravel, and the pit
was wrapped in a fabric that keeps the the dirt
from sifting into the sand. But forty years out of
a French strain, truthfully, that's about all you're gonna get
out of them, because eventually they will silt in and
fill in, and so you probably it probably live its life.

(07:01):
But what I just described to you is what a
French strain does. Now in Houston, we typically end up
putting a sump pit with a pump because we don't
have hills and stuff to daylight a pipe coming out
and draining. In some areas you're able to do that,
but in most areas we end up with a pit

(07:22):
that has a pump in it to pump the water away. Then,
so as far as somebody that can do it, do
us puts these in all the time. So if you
want to give us a call, we'd be more happy
to take care of it for you. You can reach

Bag shade in the bag.

Speaker 1 (08:30):

I was looking in my neighborhood. It looks like a
little bit expensive, but I don't know at this time
the price.

Speaker 9 (08:57):
But I want to know who one is the good
companies to do that.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
Well, there's a company called Tough Shed. They do a
lot of sheds and they actually are pretty nice sheds.

Speaker 10 (09:26):

I'll call.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
Them alrighty you take care, all right, So thank you
bye again. Seven one three two one two five eight
seven four ed and bay Town. How can I help you?

Speaker 11 (10:02):
Yeah, I recently took advantage of the end of the
year special on the R fourteen A system I'm installed,
and I'm curious. I've been doing a little research and
reading the blower on this unit blows a lot more
than my old one did, and looking at the manufacturer's data,

(10:25):
the default setting is almost the highest number, and doing
a little research, it looks like four hundred cubic feet
per minute per tell it is recommended, yep. And I
got a fourteen unit, but I think I'm running about
maybe two thousand cubic feet per minute. And I also

(10:45):
I also added another return vent. Okay, so my AC
is not.

Speaker 12 (10:51):
Sort of filth was not sucking in.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
So much.

Speaker 11 (10:54):
Yet I'm not really having any problems yet. Course it's
not being one hundred degree days. It seems to be
cooling five and he's going to come back when it
gets good and hot to check the subcooling. But I
was wondering, what's your take on that much airflow? Is
that too much?

Speaker 7 (11:12):
Well? I can't say it's too much or not enough.
If it's dehumidifying properly, then it's not going to be
too much. But sometimes what happens is we get them
going so fast that we're not getting the humidity out
of the air. And if that's the case, then yes,
you can slow it down some in order to dehumidify better.

Speaker 11 (11:36):
Well, from what I see, I have a couple.

Speaker 12 (11:38):
Of humidity indicators in the house, and it's running around
sixty percent somewhere around then maybe a little bit lower
sometimes depending on how jamp it is outside.

Speaker 11 (11:49):
So sure, so sixty percent should be okay.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
Right, sixty percent is fine? Yeah, I mean you should
be running anywhere between oh, forty five, I even sixty
five percent, So you know, if you're running at sixty
you're doing fine.

Speaker 11 (12:07):
It's also running about six hours a day on the
average on a hot day, So how does that sound.

Speaker 7 (12:13):
That sounded by right, probably so okay, Hi, thank you,
you bet you take care again seven one three, two
one two five eight seven four. You know USA Insulation
can take care of all your insulation needs in your

(12:33):
exterior walls. And I say that because I've had them
redo the insulation in my home. And I shouldn't say redo,
I just had it upgraded. I mean, my house was
built in nineteen seventy three. I had R eleven fiberglass
in the walls. I had USA Insulation come in. They
drilled holes through the mortar lines, inserted a tube, injected

(12:56):
a non expansive foam that encapsulated what I had, and
then raise the R value to R twenty three plus.
It helped with the sound deadening, It helps with my
energy bills. It just all around makes my house more
comfortable and energy efficient. Call USA Insulation at four zero

(13:18):
nine three one six ninety nine fifty seven. That's four
zero nine three one six ninety nine fifty seven for
USA Insulation. Let's head over to Fort Worth and Gary.

roll it on, brush it on. You don't have to

Speaker 7 (15:51):
Hey, welcome back to Texas Home Improvement seven one three, two,
one two five eight seven four. We're gonna head to
Magnolia and Richard, how can I help you today?

Speaker 13 (16:04):
Yes, thank you for taking my call. I am I
have a log cabin. It's not real big, it's about
I want to say, fifteen sixteen hundred square foot. It's
had its second coating and it's time to recode again,
and I was wanting a thought of what you would

(16:26):
prepare on it. I am actually between two little towns
called Planetsville and Anderson, so I'm in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 7 (16:31):
Actually, okay, and what have you been using? The coded?

Speaker 13 (16:38):
The first time, I used a system called capture, okay,
and I forget what I used the second time. Both
of them were water based systems where I water pressured
the house and then coded, but neither one of them
seem like they really last that long.

Speaker 7 (16:57):
Neither one of them had a hard shell coding on it, right, No, no, okay.

Speaker 13 (17:04):
The first system was a three part system where you
put a preservatives on first, then a stain, and then
a top coat. But they were all water based. And
the second system was just a standard I want to say,
water based stain type of thing. It looked almost looks

(17:26):
like paint. They called it stain.

Speaker 7 (17:28):
Okay, okay, So.

Speaker 13 (17:31):
It's time to do it again, and I just didn't know.

Speaker 7 (17:36):
What to go with well, and the reason I'm asking
so many questions. The product I would normally tell you
to go with is ready seal. It's a stain and
sealer combined. It is oil based and it soaks into
the wood and seals it so it's not taking on
water any longer. But if you put any thing on

(18:00):
that is a hard surface over it, then the ready
seal won't soak in properly and do what it needs
to do. And that second material you put on sounds
like it could be more of a painting type pigment
material that may walk the ready seal.

Speaker 13 (18:21):
It kind of looks more like a paint than a stain.
They called it stained, but you're right. It has a
heavy pigment and it's almost like I painted it, you know,
like brown or whatever color it is.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
Yeah, and once you did that, you may be stuck
doing that continuously or you gotta you know, pressure wash
the material off and get back down to where you
got wood that can absorb the ready seal.

Speaker 13 (18:52):
Yeah, that would be a horrendous a job. Yes, Yeah,
because it also has full porches, you know, eight foot
Ward's front end back on the whole house. So yeah, yeah,
all of that gets coated to floors.

Speaker 7 (19:05):
Walls yep. And how long ago did you put this
coating on the last time.

Speaker 13 (19:11):
I want to say it's been about five years.

Speaker 7 (19:13):
Okay, So without seeing it, my gut says that the
Ready Seal probably won't work simply because of the type
of material that you've already put on it. Okay, But
here's what I would do. I would tell you to
give Ready Seal a call and talk to them about it,

(19:35):
because there'll be more familiar with all the different materials
and whether Ready Seal could go over it or not.

Speaker 10 (19:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (19:44):
But you said that's an oil base, right, It is
an oil base.

Speaker 5 (19:52):
Yeah, because.

Speaker 13 (19:55):
I think I used a pressure sprayer the first time
on most of it. On some of it, it was
just a pump up spray where you just sprayed it
on and back what they call backbrush.

Speaker 7 (20:07):
Yep. Now, with the Ready Seal, if you do make
the switch, you would still put it on like every
four or five years, but you can spray it, roll it,
brush it. I mean, you don't have to worry about runs,
laps and streaks because it is oil based. It soaks

(20:28):
in and spreads out and all the drips and the
runs and streaks and everything just disappear. So it does
a really good job of that.

Speaker 13 (20:38):
Yeah, but it is it would be putting an oil
base over yep.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
And that's why I'm not sure that it's going to
work on your situation. That's why I would tell you
talk to them first. And if you go to our
website thchipro dot com, I do have a link there
for ready Seals so that you can talk with them. Okay. Now,

(21:05):
other than that, if you want to go back with
a similar material, I mean, obviously you could go back
with the one that you have, or Sherwin Williams makes
some good materials for that as well.

Speaker 14 (21:20):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (21:24):
Yeah, and we actually have one of their stores close
to at you where I live. This is a weekend house.

Speaker 10 (21:30):
So yeah, we will sound confusing.

Speaker 7 (21:34):
Yeah, okay, Well that music means I need to take
a break for news trafficking weather, So I'm gonna have
to let you go with that, all right, take care
and seven one three two one two five eight seven
forest number to call. We'll be right back. You know,

(21:55):
American standard air is nationally recognized for X. I mean
these guys have some amazing equipment. Whether you're looking for
a single speed, dual speed, variable speed, it doesn't matter.
American Standard has you covered. And you know when you're
talking humidity control, let me tell you that variable speed

(22:16):
and dual speed is ultimate humidity control because it will
ramp up and down as need be, not only to
control temperature, but humidity as well. And I've had American
Standard in my home since nineteen ninety nine. Love their systems.
If you're looking for a reliable, excellent system, you owe

(22:38):
it to yourself to take a look at American Standard.
To do it, you simply go to American Standardair dot
com and you can scroll through and see all the
different systems and you know what you're gonna find. You
can find the best systems on the market and comfort
the way you like it. That's American Standardair dot Com.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Jim Dutton is not perfect, but he's always right. Here's
more with Jim on Texas Home Improvements.

Speaker 7 (23:10):
Hey, welcome back to Texas Home Improvement. Your total home
improvement source seven one three two one two five eight
seven four. That's the number to call any home improvement question.
Half seven one three two one two five eight seven four.
With that being said, let's head back to the calls.

(23:31):
We're gonna head to my hometown of Pasadena. Daryl. This is Jim.
How can I help you?

Speaker 15 (23:37):
Well, Jim, I've been a long time listener, first time caller.
Even my brother loves listening to your home improvement show.
Here's what I've got, man, Okay, have a two story
house over here in Pasadena, and we have two air
conditioning units, so one for the downstairs, one for the upstairs,
and that never was really a balanced problem as far

(24:00):
as the upstairs unit. We have four bedrooms upstairs. But
now that the we have grandkids, my wife is more
concerned than I am. But how do I balance between
the four bedrooms or that the uh, the temperature control
is basically the same in each of the rooms. I've

(24:23):
tried it. It's almost like I need to have a
person in each room with a thermometer by you know,
on a string you swing it to see what it is,
and somebody upstairs adjusting the basically what moves through each.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
Of the the AC ducks.

Speaker 7 (24:43):
Yep.

Speaker 15 (24:44):
But what do I need to do or who can
help me with something like that? Or my way off base?

Speaker 7 (24:49):
No, you you pretty much hit the nail on the head.
I mean, it is normally a two person job. One
person's up in the attic adjusting the dampers in the
in the ducks to to choke it or open it up.
More so in the summer months. What you do is
take the rooms that are the coldest and choke the
air down a little bit to push more into the

(25:10):
warmer room. And it's just a matter of tweaking that
until you get it where it's balanced out.

Speaker 15 (25:18):
Okay, So I need at least two people missing myself
and probably one other.

Speaker 7 (25:24):
Well personally, I prefer to have two people plus myself
is because that way I can just watch what they're doing.

Speaker 15 (25:29):
But yes, okay, well I'll go on to schedule Wednesday
afternoon for you and my other friend, see Cody, to
be over there with me, and y'all will be the
two that will help me out. Okay, And if you
have another friend, let me know.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
Darryl, I thought I recognize your voice, man, but I'll do.

Speaker 15 (25:50):
I was wonder if that's what it was. It's you
just have to balance those basically, those valves or the ducks.

Speaker 12 (25:57):
That's it.

Speaker 15 (25:58):
The Yeah, yeah, okay, So it's you just have to
get at that fine tuned. I guess yes, sir, Okay, Well,
thank you so much for you Jim.

Speaker 7 (26:08):
You bet we'll see it the next lunch. Take care
bye again. Seven one three two one two five eight
seven four. And hey, talking about UH, Pasadena Passing Livestock
Showing Rodeo is actually having a clay choote on Friday. Now.

(26:29):
I'll be out at the clay shoote uh participating and
if you want to go, there's still time to sign up.
You can call the office at two eight one four
eight seven zero two forty. That's two eight one four
eight seven zero two forty, or you can go to

(26:50):
our website for the rodeo there at Pasadena rodeo dot
com and there is a place where you can sign
up for the clay shot. But uh, you know, I'd
love to see you out there, and I'll be there
the whole time. Like I say, I'm gonna be participating
as well, and lunch will be included. There's a little
auction afterwards. So in fact, I donated a hog hunt

(27:13):
to that auction. If if you want to come bid
on that hog hunt. I do the cooking at the
hog hunt, my brother takes you out and gets you
onto the hogs. But again that's all at Pasadena rodeo
dot COM's website. Again, if you got a question seven
one three two one two five eight seven four. That's

(27:36):
seven one three two one two five eight seven four,
any home improvement question you have, feel free to pick
up the phone, give me a call, and I'll see
what I can do to help you out here on
Texas Home Improvement, your total home improvement source. So Joanne
sent me an email here a few hours ago about

(28:00):
already trim repair. She says, uh, missing some trim on
second and third floor. Need a contractor. Look, give Victor's
Remodeling and Construction a call. He is a hearty specialist.
I know he can get you taken care of. Number
is eight three two two four to three ninety nine

(28:21):
ninety seven. Again it's eight three two two four three
ninety nine ninety seven. And uh, he can get that
taken care of for you. Again. Our number seven one
one three two one two five eight seven four. And

(28:43):
I'll see what I can do to help you out.
So see, I thought I did this question I'm gonna
do it anyways, because a lot of people do ask
this particular question. So, uh, David is asking about a
soft start for AC. I've heard you talk about both
heart and soft start products for AC, but I can't

(29:03):
remember what you said. Can you send me the video
audio link to those comments? No, because I don't know
where they're at, but I will say it again for you. Look,
we got hard stark kits, we got soft stark kits.
As air conditioning systems AGE, we tend to put hard
stark kits on them. It makes it easier for them

(29:26):
to fire off. When they're kicking off. An AC system
when it turns on holds a lot. It's kind of
like a fluorescent light bulb.

Speaker 15 (29:37):
You know.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
They use twenty minutes worth of electricity to turn on.
So if you're going in and out of a room
when you've got fluorescent bulbs, you don't necessarily want to
be shutting them off every time if you're coming right
back in. Unlike with an LED, you can shut it
off or an incandescent. But the hard start kits, what
they do is just make it where it's not quite

(30:00):
as much yet allows the AC to fire off. Now,
soft start kit is different. Typically, if you're gonna have
a backup generator on your house, you will have a
soft start kit. And what the soft start kit does
is a generator typically doesn't have the power to hit

(30:23):
the air conditioner hard when it's firing off. It does
fine for running, It just doesn't have enough juice to
hit that hard start, so it draws it out a
little bit and lets it start. There have been some
issues coming up with some of the soft start kits. Now,
I personally haven't seen any of them, but I've had
people asking me about it, so I know that there

(30:44):
are some issues with it. But you know, if you're
gonna run a generator, I would recommend you have that
available for it. We'll be back in a moment. Seven

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Uh, you know.

Speaker 7 (35:17):
Talking about uh hvac. I have this come in from
Sally up in Cyprus, and I'll just read it first
and then we'll I'll put my comments. Okay. Is it
a standard practice in all air conditioning companies to require
replacement parts for HVAC systems only be purchased from their company?

(35:41):
I bought a capacitor from an American standard parts place
in Florida to replace that part on my American standard
HVAC system for the unit that I have. I was
told by the company I purchased the unit from nearly
ten years ago and who has been servicing it ever since,
that the part would need to be replaced soon. That

(36:03):
was two years ago. Systems still working great. That company
will not use any part that is not purchased from them,
even if it is exactly the same part. Price difference
is astronomical? Is that standard for all HVAC companies? I
presently have a contract for twice yearly checkups with them. Okay,

(36:29):
first of all, in Texas, you wouldn't even be able
to go buy that part. That's probably why you had
to get it out of Florida because most of the
supply I shouldn't say you wouldn't be able to but
most supply houses in Texas will only sell parts like
that to a licensed contractor or a homeowner in some cases,

(36:53):
who is going to put it in themselves. Here's the reason.
Most contractors don't want to put it in. If that
part is defective, they put it in and it doesn't
work right now, what you know, if they bought the part,
they simply run, they grab another one and put it in.
You bought the part, are you going to look at

(37:14):
them to replace it or are you going to go
back to Florida to get another part? And it just
creates bad reputations for them, bad customer service when they
don't have total control. And yes, part of it is
in the money situation because a lot of times air

(37:35):
conditioning contractors carry an inventory of this stuff and they
come out they have it checked. A lot of times
the supply house will keep that inventory stock at the
air conditioning company's warehouse and restocks it as needed. And yes,
they do pay for that service, So yes, there is

(37:57):
some cost involved in it, but it tipicly saves time
on the project itself. And I mean it's just the
the practice of most companies that way, and in Texas.
I mean, if you want to do it yourself, you
absolutely can, but just for ease of concept, most contractors

(38:24):
in the hvac world are not going to put homeowners'
parts in. Okay, other question on this also, I've been
trying to find a place to buy energy Q radiant
barrier installation you only you recommend, and I get every
kind of name other than energy Q. Where's the best
place to get it? I found the energy Q website,

(38:45):
but it looks like you cannot buy direct from them. Well,
I hope you can understand my questions. Well, the energy
Q that is the only way you can buy it
is direct from them. Their number is one eight hundred
sixty two twenty, so you can give them a call
to buy it, or you know, go to their website.

(39:07):
But yes, it is only set up where you can
buy it direct from them. So if you're seeing it
some other way, you might not have gotten a hold
of energy QUE. You got a hold of a copycat company.
Go to my website thhipro dot com and there is
a link to energy Q. Let's head out to West Columbia.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Don.

Speaker 7 (39:30):
This is Jim. How can I help you?

Speaker 16 (39:32):
Yes, Jim, I have a have a question about wallpaper removal.
I have a house that is built back in the seventies, okay,
and the house itself is very well structured. But when
we moved in about approximately thirty years ago, we started

(39:53):
we went ahead and remove wallpaper, old wallpaper and put
up new And now I'm having issue us with part
of this wallpaper and starting to delaminate from the wall.
And and I've tried in certain areas, discrete areas of
trying to pull it and remove it, and it's actually

(40:15):
pulling the the outer paper shell of the sheet rock off.

Speaker 7 (40:21):
Yes, So so.

Speaker 16 (40:24):
Instead of getting into a big mess, I'm I'm I'm
struggling with what to do and how to do it.
And if there's a company available in the in the
area that I could possibly contact to get some get
some insight and some help on that's that's what I'm
looking for.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
Soka.

Speaker 16 (40:41):
And by the way, I have this wallpaper in probably
sixty percent of my home.

Speaker 7 (40:48):
Okay, well, don I'm gonna put you on hold for
just a second because I got to take a quick
break here, and when I come back, I'll come right
back to you. Let's talk real quick about mental lifts.
You know, if you are having a sagging overhead garage
door opening, you know it's dipping down in the middle,
and you haven't really thought a whole lot about it

(41:10):
other than darn, look at that thing. You just don't
look that good. Well, it really is not good for
your home because your framework and stuff is sagging. Your
lentil is holding up brick, and it's pausing cracks above
the corners of the overhead garage door. Lental lifts can
come in and fix this for you. They come in
with a new, stronger lentil. It goes under the old one,

(41:33):
pushes everything back up into place. They secure it, give
you a twenty five year warranty, and it looks gorgeous
when they're done because they retrim everything and you just
don't have to worry about it any longer. And why
would you not get it done and not have to
worry about it With that twenty five year warranty. You'll

(41:54):
just never have to worry again. Call Lenttal Lift at
eight three three nine zero three two to two.

Speaker 7 (44:12):
Hey, welcome back to Texas Home improvement seven one three, two,
one two, five eight seven four. I was talking with
Don out of West Columbia and Dona there still Yeah,
I'm here. Okay. So the wallpaper is it a paper
type wallpaper that you put.

Speaker 16 (44:27):
On uh some of its bottle and some of its piper.

Speaker 7 (44:32):
Okay. When it's final, you're gonna have to peel it off. Uh.
And then what you do is skim coat the wall.
Because it may tear up some of the paper off
the sheet rock. It really is not that big a
deal to skim coat it. The easiest way is to
mix some of the sheet rock mud with water. You
use a paint roller to roll it on the walls,

(44:54):
and then a very wide sheet rock knife to just
drag it smooth. And then you can go back with texts,
your wallpaper, whatever you want to do. Where there's paper wallpaper,
you can literally just use sheet rock mud to float
the seams and then paint it with a or I'll

(45:15):
paint it with a primer first, then float the seams
with sheet rock mud. Prime it a second time, because
you may have some areas where the paper bubbles up
a little bit and you'll just float that out as well,
and then again you can do with it as you
please after that. But it's very common when you start
peeling wallpaper that it's going to tear up the sheet rock.

(45:40):
As far as people who can do it, there are
people who specifically do wallpaper removal. I don't know any,
but most painters can take care of this for you
as well. Okay, okay, well you bet you take care.

Speaker 16 (45:57):

to help you out here on Texas Home Improvement your

(50:54):
total home improvement source. Let's see here. I had a
question come in a little while ago from Jack in
Austin about ready seal. He says, can ready seal be
applied over previously stained wood? And we kind of talked
about that in the last hour. But it depends on

(51:16):
what was put on the wood. If it's like a
paint or has a hard shell on it, like pollure thing,
then no. But if it's if it's something where you
can still see the wood and it is an oil
base or even water base, yes, then it can be.

(51:38):
So you just have to take a look and see
exactly what was put on before and how it looks now,
because regardless of what was put on, if it wears
off enough, something else can be put on. Seven one
three two, one, two, five, eight seven four. Let's head
to the woodlands and mike this gym. How can I

(51:59):
help you?

Speaker 4 (52:00):
Hey, Jim, Hey, we had a bad experience with a
undercounter ice maker, and I think you know where I'm
going with that. But I'm interested in your thoughts on
the different water shut off all technologies, on.

Speaker 7 (52:18):
The whole, on the whole, on the technology for what.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
For all water shut off?

Speaker 7 (52:25):
Oh yeah, okay, well they got some of them, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (52:35):
Some have some sophisticated algorithms I understand, and I'm just
interested in, you know, your thoughts on any any particular
models that may be better than others.

Speaker 7 (52:46):
Yeah. I don't have any models that I know of
that are better than others, simply because there's not that
many out there at this point in time. But I
have we have installed a couple of them, uh, and
they seem to work very well. And basically, some of
them will pick up if there's like a even a

(53:06):
small leak and it's going on for an extended period
of time, it'll automatically shut the water off. Others, you know,
if there's a rapid leaks that seems to be pushing
more water than say a faucet should push, it'll shut off.
So yes, they're very good about doing and detecting leaks.

(53:31):
One place where we installed one, in particular, was a
house that had an eight thousand foot run to get
to the house, and it kept the line. The run
would get leaks in it, and so eventually they finally

(53:52):
just replaced the whole run. But in order to keep
from just wasting water all the time, we put this
valve on there and it worked great. Every time they
had a leak, it detected it and shut it down
before they wasted a ton of water.

Speaker 4 (54:09):
Are they relatively new technologies or have they been out
for a while? And what do you think about the
reliability of some of these because I've heard that, you know,
some manufacturers have not had a great experience with reliability.

Speaker 7 (54:23):
We had pretty good luck with them. So the technology though,
is not super old. I would say it's within the
last ten years.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
Okay, Okay, that's real helpful, Thanks so much.

Speaker 7 (54:41):
You bet. Now, I will tell you you're not going
to find it at the box stores. You're gonna have
to go to a regular plumbing supply store. So check
with the Morrison's More Plumbing supply Ferguson's. You know those
type of places, and they'll be able to get you
hooked up with one great Thank Jeb, you bet take

(55:02):
care again our number seven one three two, one two, five,
eight seven four. And look, if you've got a place
that tends to get leaks, put that on. It works
extremely well. It's kind of like another technology that's just
not used as much as it should be, is hooked

(55:25):
up to your HVAC system so that if it starts
having a leak, to shut the system down or at
least notify you. I have one hooked up on my
air conditioning system that if I start getting any water
in the pan, it sends me in the email or
a text message rather to notify me that I'm having

(55:47):
an issue with water getting into the pan and so
I can get it taken care before it starts causing damage.
Works extremely well again one three two one two five
eight seven four. And I'll see what I can do
to help you out here. On Texas Home Improvement, Frank

(56:13):
sent an email and he says, leaking PVC pipe inside
large stone pool waterfall. I have a four foot by
twenty five foot plus foot pool waterfall with three tiers
when they built the waterfall, they encased the PVC pipes

(56:34):
with very large river rock boulders. So at a glance,
there would have to be a tear down. But can
it be sleeved somehow? There was never any kind of
pipe freeze covers put over pipes either, thank you, Frank. Well, look,

(56:55):
there's not a sleeve to put over it. But they
can be coated from the inside, you know, uh E
pipe system, duraflow from a duraflows E pipe system. Uh.
It can coat the inside of the pipe. That was

(57:16):
originally developed to do metal pipes, whether it was a
copper line or galvanized line. Uh. It would coat the inside.
But it should be able to be used on PVC
as well, So that would be a way that you
could do it, because all you got. All they would
do is unhook on each end of the pipe, clean

(57:38):
it out. They blow through with like walnut shells and
stuff to clean it out, and then blow this epoxy
resin through that seals everything because it coats the entire
inside and you're done. It's it's that simple. So yes,
it can be done that way. Most of the time
they try to figure out how to replace it. Though,

(57:59):
all right a question seven one three, two, one two
five eight seven four. Let's head over to the Heights
and Brandon. This is Jim. Welcome to seven forty k
tr H.

Speaker 17 (58:12):
Thanks Jim. So I live in the Heights and I
have a raised wood deck that I have put a
patio cover over and I'm about to screen it in.

Speaker 5 (58:20):
OK.

Speaker 17 (58:20):
I was wondering for the wood flats, what do I
need to do in order to put tile in there?

Speaker 7 (58:29):
Typically, if you're going to put tile, you would go
over the uh choice with two layers of three quarter
inch plywood, and then you can go ahead and put
the tile over that. I would recommend that you use
a treated plywood, a marine grade plywood, so that it

(58:49):
doesn't deteriorate underneath there too fast, and you know, beyond that,
you'd be good to go.

Speaker 16 (58:57):
Now.

Speaker 7 (58:58):
Your other choice, if you don't want to go with
two layers of three quarter inch, would be a single
layer of plywood, and then you put a concrete, a
lightweight concrete, on top of that, and your tile can
go directly down on top of it. Below the concrete
would normally be a rubber mat on top of the wood.
Though still even then I would recommend that you use

(59:22):
a treated plywood, a marine grade plywood, so that it
doesn't deteriorate underneath the rubber mat.

Speaker 17 (59:30):
Okay, would a hardybacker work or would that be like.

Speaker 7 (59:33):
Yes, crack, Now, a hardybacker doesn't have any structural strength
to it, so you still would have to have plywood
down first. But yes, you could put the hardybacker boards
down and put the tile over that if that's what
you want to do.

Speaker 17 (59:49):

Thank you, you bet, you take care again. Seven one three,
two one two five eight seven four. Let's talk about
USA Insulation. You know, if you are looking at reinsulating
your home, you need to talk to the folks at
USA Insulation. They can come in and drill holes through

(01:00:14):
the mortar lines of your brick, insert or tube and
inject a non expansive foam into the walls. It'll encapsulate
whatever insulation you have in there, but it seals all
the air gaps, so you're not havingn air go in
and out of your house come winter and summer. On
top of that, it raises the R value. Like on

(01:00:34):
my house, I had R eleven in the walls and
when we blew in the new insulation. We raised it
to like an R twenty three, and it's that kills
the sound from outside up to eighty percent, So I
mean all around, it's a great way to make your
house more energy efficient and comfortable. Call USA Insulation at

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Often irritated, never duplicated. Here's more with Jim Dutton on
Texas home improvement.

Speaker 7 (01:03:52):
Hey, welcome back seven one three two one two five
eight seven four. Again any home improvement question you have
seven one three two one two five eight seven four.
We're going to head out to Myerland and Berman welcome
the Texas own improvement.

Speaker 5 (01:04:09):
Hi, Jim, I had a stroke and I have a
hard time changing my a salt filters on the stairs.
So I'm wondering can I get by with just putting
one dre I have put two there. A neighbors said,
heed to help me, but I don't want to. You know,
you know you need to, you know, call all the time.

Speaker 10 (01:04:25):
To replace him.

Speaker 5 (01:04:26):
Well, do I need both one it's fine, or do
any both?

Speaker 7 (01:04:29):
No, you got to have both because otherwise you got
all the debris going up to your unit up in
the attic. What you may want to take a look
at doing, since you have issues with that, is eventually
installing what's called a media filter up in the attic
at your AC unit, so when your AC company comes

(01:04:50):
out and services the unit twice a year, they just
change it at that same time.

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
Oh, okay, I don't know by that. Yeah, the other
house I had prior had one on the bottom, uh,
you know, by the downstairs. I have no problem then,
but now this new house is on the stairs, and
I don't know why they put in the stairs. And
so I mean, when you get at a shortain age
about difficult time changing those things, I.

Speaker 7 (01:05:13):
Think, yeah, I whole hardly agree. I mean, and sometimes
they put them simply because it's easy to run the
AC duct to it, but it doesn't make it easy
for the end user, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:05:27):
No, no. And also the water filter in the old house,
I had had it down in the chilling room, and
the new one is upstairs in the attic. I can't
get up there to turn up or off, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:05:37):
Yeah, off, yeah, but definitely take talk to you talk
to your h v a C company about putting in
a media filter, you know, because it'll be like a
four inch filter and you just got it. Have it
changed every six months when you're having new unit serviced.

Speaker 5 (01:05:55):
At asking. My wife passed away last year. I'm going
to sell this house eventually, Okay, and here and I
I just replaced, sell it as is or you know,
you know, uh, fix it before I sell it. What
do you think remodeling?

Speaker 7 (01:06:09):
I should say, you know, if you'd ask me the
same question a year or two ago, I would have said,
it won't make a tinker's darn bit of difference. Sell
it as is. But we're going back into a market
where it's going to it's becoming more and more of
a buyer's market. And curb appeal and things like that
will make a difference on what you get for it.

(01:06:30):
So if you do things to it, you want to
do things that don't cost you a lot but give
you good return. And those items would be make sure
you got good floors, make sure you're you know, the
paint looks good, uh, and curb appeal so that the
landscaping in the house looks nice when people pull up.

Speaker 5 (01:06:51):
And let me ask you. Also, something I have on
the phone. My I had some shrubs in front of
the house that died because water enough. I don't want
there too much to water and they're dead. I don't
replace them with other shrubs might die. Uh do I
have to replace the foundation? The grass might be worse
for the foundation if I leave the way it is,
Or do I need but shrubs keep the soil there? Well,

(01:07:14):
you want to keep it.

Speaker 7 (01:07:14):
You want to keep soil, but there's absolutely nothing wrong
with just having grass around the foundation. So have the
shrubs taken out and let grass take over again. Uh,
Now to avoid foundation problems. You do want to keep
it watered. But uh oh yeah, bushes actually, bushes actually
would require more watering than grass would.

Speaker 5 (01:07:37):
Yeah, because the shrubs, like I said, just died and
all they to do is drinking the water.

Speaker 7 (01:07:41):
Anyways, Yeah, exactly to take them out let grass grow.

Speaker 5 (01:07:45):
Yeah, I have soakers there. That's fine. Do I need
anything else?

Speaker 18 (01:07:49):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
Okay, I really appreciate done. Thank you very much.

Speaker 7 (01:07:52):
I appreciate care.

Speaker 5 (01:07:53):
Thank you bye.

Speaker 7 (01:07:56):
Again. Seven one three, two, one two five eight seven
For any home improvement question. You have seven one three, two,
one two, five eight seven four, And uh, Henry, I'm
gonna tell you upfront, we only got about a minute
before I got taken news break, and I don't I
don't mind putting you back on hold. But let's go
ahead and start with the question.

Speaker 18 (01:08:17):
Yeah, this is gonna be real quick. Last year you
were talking about there's a device you could put on
your air condition. It's a drip line that clings out
your os et cetera. Yeah, you said, yet you're gonna
give your thought about it. But anyhow, I saw a
commercial the other day said if you're using bleach your emmonia,
your run your air condition. They were advertisement while one
of the technicians always told me, never use bleach. Use

(01:08:39):
the ammonia and makes it just a little bit of
water and you'll be fine.

Speaker 7 (01:08:45):
Well, all you're trying wanting to put down through that
drain line is gonna be something that kills the algae
and stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:08:54):
So that is correct.

Speaker 7 (01:08:55):
Yeah, So whether it's bleached ammonia or any of that
kind of stuf is fine as far as it's ruining
your AC system. Yeah, if you're dumping it on the
AC system, coils and stuff. You could damage them, but
you're not. You're putting it in this little strain line
so it's not an issue.

Speaker 18 (01:09:13):
And then just real quick, have you ever get any
forethought about maybe that's a good product? Not all us
till after.

Speaker 7 (01:09:20):
The break, Okay, thank you, we'll be back seven one
three two one two five eight seven four. You know
Southern Water Solutions, they can come out and test your
water and design a system to get rid of all
the crud that is in our water nowadays. It may

(01:09:40):
be just a simple filtration system, it may be a
water softener, and you may want to go with a
reverse osmosis system. Now in my home, I have a
water softener in reverse osmosis system from brit of Southern
Water Solutions Services those that brand. And I got to
tell you, I love the reverse osmosis for drinking water.

(01:10:03):
I drink a lot of winter. I got a glass
of it sitting here right now. I drink a lot
of water and the reverse osmosis makes it great. And
I've been reading more and more articles about how the
water that you get from like your reverse osmosis, is
so much better for you than bottled water because the
bottled water they're finding has particles of plastic in it.

(01:10:25):
Southern Water Solutions can take care of your issues. Eight three, two,

Speaker 6 (01:10:37):
I saw Jim Dutton with the big old hammer in
his head walk in the streets of DFDE. He was
looking for a wall that he could knock down.

Speaker 19 (01:10:51):
Here comes Jim Dutton again. Oh, here it comes Jim Dutton.
Here comes Jim Dutton.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
Here's more with Jim on Texas Home Improvements.

Speaker 7 (01:11:18):
Hey, welcome back to Texas Home Improvement. Seven one three
two one two five eight seven four. That's seven one three,
two one two five eight seven four. Any home improven
question you have, feel free to pick up the phone,
give me a call. I'll see what I can do
to help you out. And before we jump into our
next call, uh, I think what he was asking me
for was a drain for HVAC Solutions. And there is

(01:11:42):
a product that I have looked at. I met with
the people who manufacture and distribute it for the drain lines,
and it's something we're going to start carrying it due
West for keeping lines clean. Basically, you would dump down

(01:12:04):
a little bit periodically and usually it's like when the
systems are being cleaned, and it should keep them from
building up materials and sludge and bacterias and stuff till
the next time that you put it in when you
have your unit serviced every six months, and that's going

(01:12:25):
to be the key factor is you do have to
continuously have your unit serviced every six months. But uh,
what I have found when I looked into them is
they work very well. They don't cause damage, and it
more importantly keeps you from having the issues. So I
think that's what he was asking me about. Got a

(01:12:47):
question seven one three, two, one two, five eight seven
four brad and Missouri City. Welcome to Texas Home Improvement.

Speaker 14 (01:12:56):
Hey, Jim, how you doing wonderful?

Speaker 12 (01:12:58):
You guys?

Speaker 14 (01:12:59):
Did you guys did a foundation repair for me in
twenty two fixed the whole home four thousand square feet
and did piers and weed protection and the watering system.
It's been doing great. But you know, I don't know
what kind of batteries to put into the watering system.

Speaker 15 (01:13:15):
Timers.

Speaker 14 (01:13:16):
Oh, if you knew that off the top of your head.

Speaker 7 (01:13:19):
If I remember right, it's just using a standard little
nine volt battery.

Speaker 14 (01:13:23):
Oh little squares.

Speaker 7 (01:13:24):
Okay, Yeah, it depends on which which timer you have,
but you got that. I think you said we did
this in twenty two, so it was it should be
the round one. It just unscrews to open up where
the battery goes. And uh. And when I say unscrew,
I mean it just rotates like a the peanut butter jar.

(01:13:47):
The thing comes open, pull the battery, plug the new
one in and you're good to go.

Speaker 14 (01:13:53):
Okay, terrific, terrific.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
That helps me out. Thank you you bet.

Speaker 7 (01:13:59):
Well, sir. I appreciate it, and I'm glad everything worked
out for you.

Speaker 14 (01:14:04):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 7 (01:14:05):
By bye bye. And look, everything needs periodic maintenance. You know,
the drip irrigation for the foundation, we put them on
battery operate timers. But uh, we do recommend once a
year that the battery gets changed out. Now it typically

(01:14:26):
will last a lot longer than that. We got another
product now that if you do preventative maintenance stuff like that.
We have a product that we can put around your
foundation from monitoring the elevation. It lets us know as
the foundation comes up and down. Uh. And that way

(01:14:48):
you can keep close track of what the foundation is
doing and avoid having to have peers done later because
something got away from you. And you know, if you're
interested in that monitoring UH product, just call our office
at seven one three four seven three seven one five

(01:15:08):
six and we'd be more than happy at DUS to
uh go over it with you and install one for
you again if you got a question though, seven one
one three two one two five eight seven four, and
I'll see what I can do to help you out
here on Texas Home Improvement. So, I got an email

(01:15:30):
yesterday from Ronnie up in Conro about a drier exhaust event.
He says, I would like to remove my dryer exhaust
vent from the roof and replace it under the soffit.
Soffit is wide enough to place it there. One on
the roof had a leak and repaired two times. Why

(01:15:51):
do builders put them on the roof, Well, you got
to exhaust it somewhere. Why they picked the roof over
the soft to be honest with you, I don't know,
but there's nothing wrong with running it over to the soffit.
It'll work just fine.

Speaker 9 (01:16:08):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (01:16:08):
And like you're saying, you don't have to worry about
leaks and stuff. Now, I will tell you. The one
thing you do have to worry about when it's in
the soffit is birds and things like that getting into it,
but uh, you know what the heck, they can get
into it up on the roof as well. And when
it's in the soffit you can at least have a
flapper there that is a one way flapper to keep

(01:16:32):
animals and stuff from getting into it. So uh again,
it works very well going through the soffit that way.
Got a question seven one three two one two five
eight seven four. That's seven one three two one two
five eight seven four, And I'll see what I can

(01:16:53):
do to help you out. We're in a head over
to Memorial and lead us to Jim. What can I
do for you?

Speaker 5 (01:16:59):
Thank you?

Speaker 10 (01:17:00):
How are you doing today?

Speaker 7 (01:17:01):
I'm doing great?

Speaker 10 (01:17:03):
Good. Quick question for you. I live in Memorial and
I need to get a residential driveway report. You know
it's gold it's broken up, no rebarb. And I also
have some drainage issues around the house. We have a
little some pump for a little spot and that pumps
some rain runoff into the street. Do you know of
any contractors that will do both jobs? In other words,

(01:17:25):
for the concrete and also work with me on the
drainage because I don't want to hire two independent ones
because if something goes wrong, one's going to point the
finger at the other one and the other points finger
at the other one. I'm trying to get them together.
Do you know how anybody does that?

Speaker 7 (01:17:38):
Yeah? Do West does?

Speaker 5 (01:17:41):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:17:41):
Y'all do that? Yep, yeah we do.

Speaker 7 (01:17:44):
We do drainage every day. We do concrete every week.
So yeah, we can definitely take care of that for
you perfect.

Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
I just didn't want anything subed out. But I'll give
you guys a call.

Speaker 7 (01:17:54):
You bet take care all right?

Speaker 10 (01:17:57):

Speaker 7 (01:17:59):
Yeah, and again if you want to call Due West,
it's seven to one three four, seven three, seven to
one five six. Now if you got a home proven
question again seven one three two one two five eight
seven four. Let's talk about Guardian Roof Systems. You know,
I've had them do several roofs for me. They put
a new roof on at our office. Uh, they they

(01:18:21):
put a roof on my townhouse. I've done uh charity
projects with them and stuff. These guys know what they're doing.
In fact, that the way I met Guardian Roof Systems
was after one of the hurricanes. We were talking about
roofs and one of their sales guys, not even the owner,
but one of the sales guys called in with some
great information and I got talking to them. Then I

(01:18:45):
went and met with the owners of them, and I've
been using their services ever since, because to be honest
with you, to find good, reliable roofing contractors is extremely tough.
There's a lot of fly by night guys, a lot
of guys who will take your money and run. Not
Guardian roof Systems. These guys do excellent work. Two eight

You know, James Hardy siding is the best siding on
the planet. And I had a call earlier today from
somebody who has vinyl siding on their home and uh,
they had a little hailstorm and it just pitted that
vinyl siding because it had become brittle with the sunlight.
So they were asking about putting on some James Hardy

(01:20:40):
siding because they had some. Uh they had James Hardy
siding on a shed right next to the house where
it got battered up in the Hardy siding. Nothing happened,
it came out unscathed. Well, his concern was choices. Uh,
he didn't want it to all just look one way,
and oh, you've got all kinds of choices, you know.

(01:21:02):
I was driving through New Bronsville not too long ago,
probably oh gosh, I guess it's about six months ago now,
but I saw a apartment complex or condominium, I don't
know what it was, but they had mixed and matched
the James Hardy siding with vertical and horizontal and full

four by eight sheets and it just came out looking gorgeous.
And you can do that with your home, whether you

twice the same place. It's Jim Dutton on Texas Home Improvement.

Speaker 7 (01:24:07):
Hey, welcome back to Texas Home Improvement. Seven one three
two one two five eight seven four. I had an
email from Arthur and he's asking about replacement windows, and
he says, I'm looking at replacement windows for my home.
Renewed by Anderson ads claim that their fiber X windows
are much better than vinyl windows. They claim that the

(01:24:29):
vinyl windows chip, peel and crack in a short time frame.
Do you agree? Do you recommend buying fiber X windows
instead of vinyl windows. I appreciate your comments, Thank you well.
I agree that the fiber X windows is a very
strong window. I got no issues with that at all.

(01:24:52):
But I will tell you I've had vinyl windows in
my house for at least fifteen plus years already zero problems,
So I will disagree with that portion of it. You know,
one of the things that renewal By Anderson tries to
sell on is the fact that the fiberglass is so

(01:25:14):
much stronger than vinyl and all this kind of stuff.
The strength of the window doesn't matter because it's not
structural other than holding the glass in place. But yes,
technically their frame is strong, no two ways about it.
But no, you do not have to worry about vinyl

(01:25:36):
windows short living you. They're used. They are the standard
in the industry. I mean, I'll put it that way,
and it is what I have on my own house,
and I had the choice of going with whatever type
of window I wanted to. But if you do want
to get somebody impartial out to talk to you about it.
You know, I talk about Texas Remodel Teams Window Division

(01:25:59):
all the time. Well, they carry the vinyl windows, they
carry the fiberglass, they carry the wood windows. So they
can go over all the benefits and stuff of the
different windows and help you make the right choice for
your windows. So Arthur, give Texas free model Teams windows

(01:26:24):
a call it two eight one three nine nine four
zero six two and they can get you taken care
of again. Two eight one three nine nine four zero
six two and again our phone number seven one three
two one two five eight seven four. That's seven one

(01:26:45):
three two one two five eight seven four, and I'll
see what I can do to help you out here

And you know, so often people do get concerned over
their electrical My daughter called me last week Uh, she
had two light fixtures go out, and she was concerned
that she had a major electrical problem in the home. Well,

(01:28:10):
the house is older, the light fixtures were older, and
it was just time to replace a couple of them. Uh,
So we had her, she had the house checked out
and no, it didn't need anything other than go ahead
and replace those light fixtures. Now, they did try to
tell her that, and this wasn't right.

Speaker 5 (01:28:29):
Touch.

Speaker 7 (01:28:29):
My daughter lives in the Dallas area and they were
trying to tell her that she needed a new breaker
panel just because hers was an older panel and should
be updated. But you know, look, yes they all wear out.
They're not forever. But he was really using some scare
tactics and some ridiculous pricing. But we'll get it taken

(01:28:52):
care of her. Got a question seven one three, two

Thank you, Jim on your head. They I've got some
garage doors. I put it on about two years ago.
It works great. The ready Seal looks just as good
as it did today.

Speaker 7 (01:30:06):
I put it on a ready seal, you know, Spray
it on, roll it on, brush it on. You don't
have to worry about laps or streaks, runs, any of
that stuff because of the way it soaks deep down
into the wood fibers. It takes care of all of it.
And it's available everywhere. But to find a store nearest
to you, go to readyseal dot com. You know, a
lot of window companies can put in new windows, but

(01:30:26):
can they make the trim look right? Do they use
high end cock to seal up the air gaps? And
do they offer multiple styles and choices so you can
get the exact windows you need and want for your home.
Jim Dutton, host of Texas o Improvement for Texas Remodel Team.
They have a window division that does nothing but windows,
and they can make sure that things like your trim,

(01:30:47):
your brick, even your windowsill looks perfect because after all,
they are owned by a construction company. They carry all
the major brands of windows, and their insaul crews are
second to none, giving them a four point nine stars
out of live on Google Reviews and an A plus
rating with the BBB, plus a thumbs up from me.

if you're looking to reinsulate your home, and I'm talking

(01:31:30):
about the walls of your home, you don't have to
tear them out. USA Insulation can come in. They drill
some holes and they can inject a non expansive foam
insulation into your existing walls. And when I say a
small hole, when I had my house done, they drilled
through the mortar lines of the brick, So it's that

(01:31:52):
small a hole. And what a difference it makes. You
will feel the difference as they're going from room to
room doing it. One it helps with the temperature control,
which is obviously why you're doing it to reduce your
energy bills. But two, it also helps with the noise
from outside. UH and by putting in that foam insulation,

(01:32:14):
it's sealing all the air gaps, so you're not getting
the cold air in the winter months coming in and
your air conditioning system going out in the summer months.
