Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, the weekend's upon us. Welcome. You're at home with
Gary Salvian. By the way, this hours brought to you
by dice Codings. Hey, you rare win big. You might
want to think about this. Dice Coding is hosting a
show as your Countertops Contest. You can send pictures of
your kitchen or bathroom countertop project that you've done using
lux Rock or Marble Dreams, Spreadstone, Mineral select countertop kits
(00:53):
and win cash prize is It's free, easy to enter.
You got till the end of October. You can visit
dich cotings dot com for the details and uh well,
go ahead and show them your Dice Conings countertop. Maybe
you'll win big. I get half. Huh No, I'm just kidding.
(01:13):
All right, We thank disch for sponsoring this hour of
the show. As we take your calls, let me give
you the phone number up front. It's eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. Go ahead and grab
a line. We're gonna talk a little bit today, especially
in the next hour, but I'm gonna give you a
prelude to it right now. And that's the black streaks
(01:36):
that you see on shingled roofs Ron Wilson. We were
talking about this before and he was saying, I swear
I see more of it now than I've ever had.
And again, this is an airborne fungus. It's an algae
and a fungus. It almost looks like mold or mildew,
but it's a fungus that lands on your roof and
(02:00):
it grows. Okay, So the big question, I know, it
looks awful, doesn't it, boy, especially when this starts getting
really dark. But black streaks on a shingle roof. Again,
algae growth, And I guess the good news in the
beginning is in the beginning they don't damage the shingles structurally,
(02:20):
at least not right away. The streaks are mostly like
I said, cosmic. They look terrible. And then you may say, well,
over time, can it shorten the life of the roof? Yeah,
it can. And there's you know we talk about the
wet and forget product that you can spray on it
and treat it. But if you leave it untreated, that
(02:40):
algae and you know this even from having algae on
brick and sidewalks and driveways. Algae holds moisture, and it
holds moisture on the shingles, which can encourage that algae
to turn in the line I can turn into moss.
(03:04):
Those have roots. They can also trap even more moisture
than just the black streaks, which will eventually cause the
deterioration of this shingle. And another thing, you may not
realize they're black, right, I mean you see these black streaks.
I don't care whether it's a brown roof or a
(03:26):
black roof or what. And those dark streaks they make
the roof hodder, which ages this shingle faster. So the
bottom line is, like everything, if it doesn't look great,
to do something about it. If it doesn't look great,
(03:46):
fix it.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And you can do that. There's you know, there's companies
that clean it. There's a product that connects to a
hose that you can spray it on there. It doesn't
happen overnight. It works with the sun and the rain.
It takes like six weeks to make it go away.
But get it in its early stages. And by the way,
(04:10):
it has a lasting effect, not forever, but for a
season or two. And a lot of new roofs have
metals incorporated where it won't grow on the surface. That's good,
but that's good for about ten years, and then you'll
take the start the process of it landing on the roof,
(04:30):
absorbing the moisture, and it might take three or four years,
but you'll start seeing a shadow and that's when you
want to take care of it all. Right again, you
got the phone number. Let's let Dave kick us off today. Dave, welcome.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, good morning, Gary. Been having some trouble with my
water pressure in my home. My static pressure is perfect.
I mean it's like seventy five eighty pounds pressure, but
as soon as I turn on any device in the
house anywhere, my pressure drops down like fifty sixty and
it never used to be that way. I've been going
(05:07):
down the path of thinking it's my pressure relief valve.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
What's your thoughts going in off the main water line? Yes, sir,
I would think that would be it were you testing
the water just curiosity.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I've tested it all throughout the house. I actually have
a hose the connection right there, just past the pressure
relief valve, and I've also tested at other hose outlets
throughout the house.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay, I just wanted to so hose outlets outside the
house is usually where you'll where you'll test it. But
but it drops that much huh.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, yeah, as soon as I turned the as soon
as I turned the another faucet on or flush the
toil or anything. Boy, it just drops down. And so
my dynamic pressure drops so sometimes to fifty.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So you know, I'm I mean, I would say it
is that valve. It's not a relief valve, it's just
a pressure regulator. Is it definitely the pressure and not
just the volume of the water?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You know, a good question. It's hard to tell, right
because you know when the pressure graps, obviously the volume
is going down too, because it's not putting out as
much quickly. But hold off the strainer on the back
of the pressure relief the pressure regulator and totally clean, totally.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Clean, totally clean. Yeah, I'm guessing that could be it.
I don't even quite hostly know how to even tell that.
It would be that, you know, signaling right on there,
you know that that would be the issue. But it
seems like that would be it. Have you tried shutting
(06:55):
it all off, draining you know, the pipelines out kind
of the system, if you will.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, I have not tried that. I did contact the
water works and they came out and did all the
pressure's fine, precious.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Pressure going into the house. Well, to answer the question
in terms of, you know, whether it's the pressure inside
the house or whether it is some something restricting the flow, uh,
which I kind of lean to to be honest with you,
(07:35):
but that would be all kind of like you said,
they're all kind of related. So yeah, did the water
company have anything to add to that. They just said
it's fine to your house.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, that's from them.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
They did. They didn't say, oh you might check this
that or whatever. Nope, Okay, do you have a pressure
tank on the water heater at all?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yes? They do.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, and that's not that that's functioning, correct.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, I actually have replaced just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Okay, all right, make sure it's not water log that's
the only thing I was saying. Yep, yep, Yeah, I
would say, would point to the regulator and we will
listen to see if somebody else has another idea. But
without that, you know, going through the whole thing, I
do think I would shut off the system, drain the
system and just try that, yeah, kind of like recharge
(08:34):
the system. See if that helps it all.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, Okay, well, luckily the pressure regulator. It's looks like
it's a pretty easy swap out as far as yeah,
it is ready connection, so that should be pretty easy.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Union there, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that should be fairly
easy to swap out. I just hate to see you
replace it if that wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah. I was checking all my fosters for you know, strainers, yeah,
all that stuff, and it's like this is all over
the house.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah yeah, all right, I would think that would be
our culprit. But do drain the system and see if
you get any different results. Let me know if you do,
I'd appreciate right, all right, Dave, thanks, take care. All right,
you can jump on board again. It's eight one hundred

(12:12):
we bring in Ron Wilson. Ron does a national gardening show,
and well he graces us with his presence for about
ten minutes every weekend, and this is the ten minutes. Yes, sir,
how are.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
You Wayne, mister Shellman, I'm a little dry.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, old, well, my lips are part it is dry.
I was even when I was making some notes for
a day's show. Usually this time of year, especially maybe
three weeks ago, we were always talking about the high
humidity and too much humidity in the house and not
being able to get comfortable, and it is so dry.
I started looking for separations by woodwork and walls that
(12:52):
you usually see in the winter time. I didn't find any,
but certainly if it continues, well, it'll start affecting foundations
and the house, and you know, it's affected our trees.
I had multiple people this week run and I set
them right. I took your advice, and they go, Man,
looks like it's going to be an early fall. Everything's
all right changing. I'm going, that's it's not fall.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
We got a ways to go.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
This is not fall.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
They're going to lose leaves early. We went to this
last year too, but we wound up getting some good
fall color.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Gets some great fall color. So you know, we had
all that rain about mid October. Remember, Yeah, it kind
of saved the day.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
It saved the day. It was kind of came through
and got us. But yeah, it's uh, it is. And
I think a couple of things. I always try to
remind folks. If you core air rate your lawn and
you go through and pull those plugs out, if you
come back and use composts and fill and do a
little top dressing and kind of fill those in a
little bit. Every time you do that, you create pores
(13:48):
channels for the water whatever does happen to come down
to penetrate into your soil. Rainfall that as sprinkler could
put down an inch of water in an hour. But
guess how much penetrates actually into the common clay soils.
Less than a quarter of an inch I.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Was gonna say, plus if you're on a hill or
something even worse. Nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
So, every time you add organic matter back to the
soil and cororating, especially for your turf, you help to
improve the opportunity for the soil to take advantage of
blow through showers, rainfall, watering, whatever. This may also be
a situation if you we've gone through this now for
about three or four falls in a row, do we
(14:27):
consider now doing the investment of an irrigation system.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, well, I'll tell you what. From somebody's head. One
for twenty years. I didn't use mine until about three
weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah. Well, the point being with the irrigation system is this, yeah,
and you and I talked about this before. This is
the way you use yours, not on a timer, no manual. Yeah,
and have it in segments so you can manually do
particular areas in the life.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I did it this week. I did it this week.
I did exactly that that little strip between the i'd
walk in the street. God knows what kind of soil
is there. I'm guessing it's all clay and it's the
first thing to dry out.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
And I might do the yard once, maybe twice, it
depends how dry it is.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
But you do it manually.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
But I needed the only time I used my timer
and my bra.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
On vacation yep. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And it's all cloud based now I got to total
control on my phone exactly.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
So I think that in the investment in that for folks,
if you know you're going to live there, and it's
a good sell on tool as well, that you know,
I've got an irrigation system. Should you need it, Yeah,
this is a great time. Should you need it, you know,
And it really does save you a lot of time,
So I would look to doing it. I'd look to
always the add organic matter back to the soil. It
is very very important.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And of course scheduled my erration yet.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Well, and you've got plenty of time, you know, you
get September October to do that.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Boy lately you do, that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Oh yeah, I mean we can run it, and we've
done it first in November, but you try to get
it done as early as you can. But again, I
think irrigation systems or something somebody you might want to
consider I'm doing if you know, if that turf in
the watering is important to you, and I think it
is to do that, so keep.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That in mind.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Evergreens right now, ghosts of droughts pass. That's what you
see next spring. If you aren't watering right now, I'll
tell you. I'll just tell you up front, that's what
you're gonna see because those are going to turn not
now and not during the winter, but next spring you're
gonna turn brown. And you're gonna have to think back
and when you didn't water in the fall, that's why
and that's why they're doing that. And so you got
to keep that in mind, and again the water bill.
(16:32):
I get it. But if you're investing one hundred bucks
extra in your water bill this month, it would cost
you way more than that to replace just one of
those evergreens, So keep that in mind too. And I
have one one more thing for you. Yeah, as I'm
ranting here, that's okay, guess what I got you? I
got a Gary Sullivan yesterday said, ron are these supposed
to be here? What would that be? Yellow jackets in
(16:57):
front of the window well of our neighbors in through
the and they had made a perfect little hole through
their groundcover so you couldn't see him going in and out.
Of course, now they're making their nests. Now they're getting
ready for you.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Know, are they inside there?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
They're in the ground, in the ground out in front
of a window. Will So I did the foam foaming,
which I always do, and it works. It's great, big
foam ball comes up. They can't get through it. And
by the time they do, but well, guess what didn't foam?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
No? Yeah, you're not that fast anymore, are you?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
And boy did I try? I mean, I try to
keep going. I kept thinking it was gonna foam up.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, And then
they were all coming out. But what I did, and
I did get stung in the in the hand and
it's hitching like crazy as honey. But what I did
get down there, I think I really knocked down the nest.
But point being is they are doing that right now.
They're very active. Yeah, you had the German yellow Yeah,
(17:52):
the German hornets. Uh no, you had the German yellow jackets.
They came inside your house, which they like cracks and crevice.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Well, this was just a little hole that probably was
a longer sixteenth three yeah or whatever, Right, a little
piece of missing mortar.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Yep. And that's why Gary's wife said, Gary, are they
supposed to be here? Because they were in his basement.
But they are very active right now. Be cautious if
you're working in the shrubs in the groundcover. They like
little dibbots in that where they can try to build
a nest.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, and you know what you got stung this week?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Yeah, you put your hand in there to do some
trimming or pull a weed, and you're in the middle
of all of them. So turn that rake around and
stick that handle out there, kind of poke in where
you're going to be working in the shrubs in the groundcover.
Make sure there's no action going on and take care
of that, but be very cautious. And if you're using
the foam sprays, which I do.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
All the time, yeah I've used that too.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Experiment first, make sure make sure it phams.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Well, you know you're kind of going with what you
think is gonna happen, right always in pham. Yeah, what
can I say? So?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Anyway, I thought of you because yes, yellow jacks are
jackets active.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
No, they're not supposed to be there. Very good, We'll
stay healthy, yes, sir?
Speaker 5 (19:08):
All right, right, thank you, Take a drink of water.

Speaker 6 (22:30):
Hi Gary.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
When you were talking to gentlemen earlier about the water pressure, yes, sir,
I'm not sure if I caught all the conversation, but
did you talk about a water softener? I did not,
is I had that issue and I replaced all the
granular media inside the water softener, and the water pressure
(22:55):
throughout the house went up ten to fifteen pounds, and
when it was coming in from the street is about
sixty fifty to sixty and I would lose quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Is that right now?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I almost I was considering replacing the pressure reducer valve.
But yeah, I did some reading and the service on
the water softener, and dam.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Hm, that's interesting. That's a good tip. One of the
things I thought of. You're always think of things after
the call, right, and I was. You know, one thing
I didn't ask him is what type of piping he
has in his home too. This seemed like it was
pretty immediate, that's happened. But if you have old galvanized piping,
or anything like that. You know, maybe it just got
(23:41):
to that point where it's really strict restricting volume and pressure.
I thought of that. I also thought of well, I
didn't talk about making sure that main valve was open
all the way. Of course, if he turns it off
and bleeds the system, he'll probably correct that problem if
that was the problem. But that's a great tip on
the on the on the water softer. In fact, I
(24:03):
think my softener. I've never replaced that media filter or
not filter, but material inside that. I'll bet you that
things eight ten, eleven years old.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah, I had just bought the house, and I have
no idea that's the former owner of a replacement.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Right right. My pressure is still good. But that's a
great tip, and I appreciate that. Jim. Take care, take care,
have a good weekend. All right, then let's go to Martin.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Martin Welcome, Yes, thank you Gary, and a great show.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Say I have yes, indeed I have some questions about
wedding forget. Okay, we had a handstorm go through here
where I live about ten years ago, eleven years ago,
so everybody had their roof replaced and I put a
JAF shingle on a dimensional shingle where they the roof
(25:01):
is not flat. I don't know what you call it,
but the roof's not.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Flat, right, it's like three dimensional.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Yeah, I guess it's a three D. And very soon
after we put the roof on, I had tiny bits
of lichen growing at the end of the shingle, at
the very lip.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Where it crosses over right.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
And listening to your show and listen about Wet and
Forget now it's the size of the lichen growth is
about maybe half the size of a thumbnail, so it's
not much, but it's spreading on the north side of
the roof, just ever so progressively. And there's a birch
(25:44):
tree there on the north which I want to keep
because it's the only one in the neighborhood and it
gives me beautiful shade. So my question about wet and
Forget is this, I know, I guess when you spray
it on the roof, it sticks to the roof and
then it works over six weeks right as it rains.
Will it hurt the granules on the roof if we
(26:05):
spray it on.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
When you spray the wedding forgetting.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
When you spray the wedding forget on is that going?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, there's not enough pressure, not enough pressure to hurt that.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Okay, a lot of people try to clean it with.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Their pressure washer, and that you can screw up a
roof real fast.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
That's what I don't want to do, right. Pressure this
is maybe.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I don't even know what the pressure is, but I'm
going to say, you know, it's like a it's like
a hose maybe with the nozzle at half half half force.
You know, it's not a solid stream, so it's not
going to hurt the roof at all. Just get it
good and wet, and it really puts out a lot
(26:52):
of mixture on there, so you'll flood it pretty good,
so the roof will be fine.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Does it change the color of the roof? Some of
the things I've looked at on YouTube, now, these were
lighter roofs, and mine was the darkest JAF shingle that
we could get if I spray it on there. Sometimes
on YouTube I see that the roof ends up to
colors after you know, they show before and after picture.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, it won't take the color. It won't affect the
actual color of the roof. However, that that fungus or
fun guy that's growing on the roof, maybe not so
much the like and it takes it's a process really
of growth of maybe three to five years. So you
(27:37):
could have just the slightest of shadows on that roof
where you wouldn't even suspect there's anything on there. And
then if you don't put an even cover of wet
and forget over the whole roof, maybe you skip an area.
All that doesn't look bad. I'm not worrying about that.
That would appear to be two different colors because it's
(27:58):
just the slightest of ray there which you wouldn't pick
it up until it cleans the rest of the roof.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Yeah, we're planning on doing the whole roof. It's not
so much on the south side. Yeah, we got to
do the whole roof. I have no question about it.
My last question is the gutters on the north side.
I have not out to the street. They're feeding into
that birch tree to give it extra water. So should
I divert those tubes away from the birch tree because
(28:32):
I'm you know, I don't want the birch tree to
be hurt.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, maybe when you're spraying it, okay, I wouldn't worry
about it. Once it's been sprayed, it'll tell you on
the label about you know, covering up vegetation. No, it's
safe for vegetation. But cover it up or hose it
off when you're finished, in other words, dilute it.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
But once once it's sprayed on there there's some residents,
but it'll be very minimal. I just don't want you
to spray it and the stuff's rolling down the roof
and in the gutter and putting it right on the
base of the tree. That probably wouldn't be all that
good for it.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Right, Okay, Hey, thank you so much. You have a
great show, and thanks you. I listening to you every week.
Appreciate you, sir very much.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Thank you, take care for bye. All right. Our phone
number if you'd like to grab a line, do so.
We got a spot for you. It's eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five and Warren welcome.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Hey, good morning, Garrett.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
How are you doing to doing fine? Thanks good Gary.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
We bought a house back in twenty twelve and it
was actually built back in twenty twelve and this year
we decided to make some upgrades to our bathroom shower, retiling.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
And what have I.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Well, one of the upgrades is going to be replacing
the bathroom shower off that fani. Okay, I was up
in the attic the other day looking around, and I
noticed that the builder ben into showered exhaust and through
the softy.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Instead of to the roof.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Is that standard practice or was it standard practice?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
No, but a lot of people do it. It's not
the best. It's better than not venting it at all.
But really, what you're doing, when you think about it,
is you're blowing hot moist air out, which could be
pulled back into the attic in a in a very
diluted form. But it really should be vented out through
(30:29):
the roof.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Okay, Because you know, I took my light.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I was looking around up there.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
I didn't see any mold that was concern.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Right, right.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
What I'm wanting is should I just leave it as
is if you place it, or should I call someone
to have a vent through the roof?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah? Preferably it would go through the roof. I mean,
I'm just you know, you can read the instructions on it.
It'll probably tell you the exact same thing. Some of
the things you're run in to problems with venting it
outside is a the moist warm air gets sucked back
into the attic. Another thing that happens in the winter
time is sometimes that warm moist air that's being blown out.
(31:14):
You know, if you got metal soffits or something along
that it freezes and you know, seals up some of
the soffit, so you mess up your balance of intake
air and out take air. And that's equally important in
the winter time as it is in the summertime. So
you know, by by you know, I'm not saying it's
(31:35):
gonna happen, but there's a possibility that it can happen,
and preferably you can vent straight out through the roof.
I've seen people even not vented outside because they got
a big cathedral type addic and they got a ridge vent.
So you know, I'm kind of giving you, you know,
(31:56):
the standard answer is vented out the roof and you're
not gonna have problems. You do the other two that
I just mentioned. There's a potential for a problem, you're
not seeing it, So okay, you know your call.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Well, we have the pots best, but let's say I
choose going to the grew up. Would that be a
realking contractor that would do that?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, yeah, sure, yes.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
Okay, well Ronnie, that's perfect and I appreciate it.

(35:39):
still very dry, but great weather to get some things

and I hope you do that. All right, back to
the phones we go, grab a line and Dave, welcome.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
Thanks for making my call. Gary. I've been I'm seeing
a lot of advertising on tellers and radio for product
that's sprayed on roofs and supposed to give up to
fifteen years of additional life. I was wondering, i'd you
know anything about it or is it.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
True or well, yeah, I know roof Max. Is that
the product you're thinking of?
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, so that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
It's professionally applied, and I have to admit I haven't
really seen the commercials in so you can get fifteen
years of additional life, but there's three applications in that
fifteen years. So the product works, but it's not for everybody,
and it may be perfect for you, Dave, So let
me just kind of tell you how it works. I'd
(36:42):
say a typical twenty five year roof or a thirty year
roof is probably going to get you twenty years on
a twenty five year roof and maybe twenty five years
on a thirty year roof. Because what happens to a roof,
and that's why they pro all, is it lose the
protective coatings of the shingles, that sand that's on the shingle.
(37:08):
Its sole purpose is to protect the shingle from the sun,
and over time it begins to lose that granular protection
and the shingles starts getting beat up by the UV rays.
The shingle can crack, it can curl, but it'll be,
(37:29):
you know, in its final stages. If you will, calling
roof Max once it's in its final stages is too late.
But if you start maybe in year I don't know,
say fifteen. Say it's a thirty year roof, and you
start in year fifteen to twenty and twenty to twenty
five and you start seeing an excessive amount of that
(37:54):
granular that sand in your gutters, you're always gonna have
it even after year one or two. But if it
starts getting heavier and you start seeing maybe a little deterioration,
and what I mean by that is maybe some bald
spots on the shingle. It hasn't started cracking, he hasn't
started curling. And at that point, if you called roof Max,
(38:15):
they would come out and say, yes. So what we
do at roof Max is we professionally apply a sealant
over the shingles at about I don't know if they
give you any number, but it's about a third of
the cost of a roof.
Speaker 8 (38:31):
Yeah, that's what they they they say, that's about the price.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, okay, all right, So that's about the that's about
what it's going to cost you. And what it does
is it's a celant that gives you five years worth
of protection and it seals reseals or reglues if you will,
the granular coating on the shingle. Okay, and so you
(38:57):
buy yourself five years, you know, And the purpose of
the roof Max. Quite honestly, if you really look at it,
it's the kind to get you the thirty years of
the shingle. I'm not saying that roof wouldn't last thirty years,
but in a lot of cases it doesn't. So having
that roof Max applied, you buy five years of protection.
(39:18):
You can buy another five years of protection. You can
do it, I think up to three times. So you know,
the question is what I always tell people to think
is you know you're going to be in that house
for a bunch long time, must go ahead and replace
the roof once it starts getting bad. If you think
you're going to be in and out of there maybe
in the next, uh, you know, four to six years,
(39:42):
it might be something you want to consider. Okay. So
that's how it works, and it works, okay, all right,
very good day, Thanks, take care, bye bye again. I
don't want to say it's for everything. You know, there's
so many neat products out there, but they're not for everybody.
(40:02):
For instance, I always go back to the easy Breathe,
which I always talk about and I always talk about
how wonderful it is. But one time there was a
lady that called me and said, well, it didn't do
anything for my house. And I said, well, call Easy
Breathe and I asked her some questions, and all of
a sudden, she says, well, I don't have air condition.
(40:23):
I have my windows open all the time. And I'm going, well,
it's not going to work. Well, you said it would work,
so no, you know, I did say it works, because
it does work. But you can't have your windows open
when it's seventy four degrees with ninety percent humidity. You're
just bringing that moisture in. Anyway. Now, as beautiful as
(40:46):
it is where I am today with low humidity and
really dry, you can leave your windows open all you want,
got them open right now. So it depends, you know,
it depends. You got to research it, maybe a step more,
all right, Cindy, welcome, good on.
Speaker 9 (41:04):
Garry I found a bumblebee ground nest nest next to
our house foundation about a month month and a half ago,
and we had been and I was told.
Speaker 6 (41:16):
To let it go. They're not going to hurt you.
Speaker 9 (41:18):
So I'm and they're good for those, you know everything.
So I'm like, Okay, well, now we've been finding them
down in.
Speaker 10 (41:24):
Our basement and I mean they are they're the queens,
They're huge, and I'm thinking, how in the world can
they be getting through the foundation bricket? You know, do
I have a problem is that?
Speaker 6 (41:36):
You know what? What do you think is problem?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
For sure? Right? Definitely a problem how they're getting it?
Do you have a block foundation?
Speaker 7 (41:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah, I can't tell you exactly how they're getting in,
but probably nothing to mess with, to be honest with
you know, talking to Ron Wilson that he got stung,
same thing with those this week. But if there is
a crack in that block and they're burrowing down into
the ground and they get into that crack, you know
(42:12):
that block is got voids in.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
It, right, and it's got an open it's like open.
Speaker 6 (42:18):
On the top.
Speaker 9 (42:19):
So that's probably crawling up to the light.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
That's how they're probably getting in. That's probably now they're
getting in. So can you seal that? Sure, you can
seal it with cocking. You can seal it with on
the inside. Of course, you'd trap them on the you know,
inside that block calking leak stop would seal that. What
(42:43):
Ron was using was and it was a hornant wasp
killer that foams. You know, when it foams it it
expands and goes into crevices, et cetera. And you would
kill But if they're all the inside the house, I
don't know how effective you know, that would take care
of the part that's in the ground. Once they're inside
(43:08):
the house and you kill the nest outside maybe with
that foam, I don't know what happens then, I mean,
I really don't know. But they're inside your house and
that's problematic, right, So if you want to get a
pest control coming in there and take a look at
(43:28):
it once they enter the house, that might be a
good idea. If you want to try and use the
foam and eliminate it yourself, that's a possibility. Also, get
getting to the source. That's certainly always the key, and well,
good luck with that. That's a that's a they're bad issue,
and they're everywhere for sure. Hey, talking about some of
(43:50):
my favorite products, and Terra Mender is certainly one of them.
If you'd like to share a picture or a video
using ter Mender on their Facebook account, that's where you
can download it or upload it. I guess you could
win a sixteen ounce bottle of terror Mender. Check it out.

(44:15):
We'll continue with your calls, Alan, you'll be up first.
You're at home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
Time to get your hands dirty with Gary Sullivan. Give
them a call at one eight hundred and eighty two
three Talk. You're at home with Gary Sullivant.
Well, the weekend's upon us. Welcome. You're at home with
Gary Salvian. By the way, this hours brought to you
by dice Codings. Hey, you rare win big. You might
want to think about this. Dice Coding is hosting a
show as your Countertops Contest. You can send pictures of
your kitchen or bathroom countertop project that you've done using
lux Rock or Marble Dreams, Spreadstone, Mineral select countertop kits

and win cash prize is It's free, easy to enter.
You got till the end of October. You can visit
dich cotings dot com for the details and uh well,
go ahead and show them your Dice Conings countertop. Maybe
you'll win big. I get half. Huh No, I'm just kidding.
(01:13):
All right, We thank disch for sponsoring this hour of
the show. As we take your calls, let me give
you the phone number up front. It's eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. Go ahead and grab
a line. We're gonna talk a little bit today, especially
in the next hour, but I'm gonna give you a
prelude to it right now. And that's the black streaks
(01:36):
that you see on shingled roofs Ron Wilson. We were
talking about this before and he was saying, I swear
I see more of it now than I've ever had.
And again, this is an airborne fungus. It's an algae
and a fungus. It almost looks like mold or mildew,
but it's a fungus that lands on your roof and
(02:00):
it grows. Okay, So the big question, I know, it
looks awful, doesn't it, boy, especially when this starts getting
really dark. But black streaks on a shingle roof. Again,
algae growth, And I guess the good news in the
beginning is in the beginning they don't damage the shingles structurally,
(02:20):
at least not right away. The streaks are mostly like
I said, cosmic. They look terrible. And then you may say, well,
over time, can it shorten the life of the roof? Yeah,
it can. And there's you know we talk about the
wet and forget product that you can spray on it
and treat it. But if you leave it untreated, that
(02:40):
algae and you know this even from having algae on
brick and sidewalks and driveways. Algae holds moisture, and it
holds moisture on the shingles, which can encourage that algae
to turn in the line I can turn into moss.
(03:04):
Those have roots. They can also trap even more moisture
than just the black streaks, which will eventually cause the
deterioration of this shingle. And another thing, you may not
realize they're black, right, I mean you see these black streaks.
I don't care whether it's a brown roof or a
(03:26):
black roof or what. And those dark streaks they make
the roof hodder, which ages this shingle faster. So the
bottom line is, like everything, if it doesn't look great,
to do something about it. If it doesn't look great,
(03:46):
fix it.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And you can do that. There's you know, there's companies
that clean it. There's a product that connects to a
hose that you can spray it on there. It doesn't
happen overnight. It works with the sun and the rain.
It takes like six weeks to make it go away.
But get it in its early stages. And by the way,
(04:10):
it has a lasting effect, not forever, but for a
season or two. And a lot of new roofs have
metals incorporated where it won't grow on the surface. That's good,
but that's good for about ten years, and then you'll
take the start the process of it landing on the roof,
(04:30):
absorbing the moisture, and it might take three or four years,
but you'll start seeing a shadow and that's when you
want to take care of it all. Right again, you
got the phone number. Let's let Dave kick us off today. Dave, welcome.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, good morning, Gary. Been having some trouble with my
water pressure in my home. My static pressure is perfect.
I mean it's like seventy five eighty pounds pressure, but
as soon as I turn on any device in the
house anywhere, my pressure drops down like fifty sixty and
it never used to be that way. I've been going
(05:07):
down the path of thinking it's my pressure relief valve.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
What's your thoughts going in off the main water line? Yes, sir,
I would think that would be it were you testing
the water just curiosity.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I've tested it all throughout the house. I actually have
a hose the connection right there, just past the pressure
relief valve, and I've also tested at other hose outlets
throughout the house.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay, I just wanted to so hose outlets outside the
house is usually where you'll where you'll test it. But
but it drops that much huh.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, yeah, as soon as I turned the as soon
as I turned the another faucet on or flush the
toil or anything. Boy, it just drops down. And so
my dynamic pressure drops so sometimes to fifty.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So you know, I'm I mean, I would say it
is that valve. It's not a relief valve, it's just
a pressure regulator. Is it definitely the pressure and not
just the volume of the water?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You know, a good question. It's hard to tell, right
because you know when the pressure graps, obviously the volume
is going down too, because it's not putting out as
much quickly. But hold off the strainer on the back
of the pressure relief the pressure regulator and totally clean, totally.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Clean, totally clean. Yeah, I'm guessing that could be it.
I don't even quite hostly know how to even tell that.
It would be that, you know, signaling right on there,
you know that that would be the issue. But it
seems like that would be it. Have you tried shutting
(06:55):
it all off, draining you know, the pipelines out kind
of the system, if you will.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, I have not tried that. I did contact the
water works and they came out and did all the
pressure's fine, precious.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Pressure going into the house. Well, to answer the question
in terms of, you know, whether it's the pressure inside
the house or whether it is some something restricting the flow, uh,
which I kind of lean to to be honest with you,
(07:35):
but that would be all kind of like you said,
they're all kind of related. So yeah, did the water
company have anything to add to that. They just said
it's fine to your house.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, that's from them.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
They did. They didn't say, oh you might check this
that or whatever. Nope, Okay, do you have a pressure
tank on the water heater at all?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yes? They do.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, and that's not that that's functioning, correct.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, I actually have replaced just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Okay, all right, make sure it's not water log that's
the only thing I was saying. Yep, yep, Yeah, I
would say, would point to the regulator and we will
listen to see if somebody else has another idea. But
without that, you know, going through the whole thing, I
do think I would shut off the system, drain the
system and just try that, yeah, kind of like recharge
(08:34):
the system. See if that helps it all.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, Okay, well, luckily the pressure regulator. It's looks like
it's a pretty easy swap out as far as yeah,
it is ready connection, so that should be pretty easy.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Union there, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that should be fairly
easy to swap out. I just hate to see you
replace it if that wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah. I was checking all my fosters for you know, strainers, yeah,
all that stuff, and it's like this is all over
the house.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah yeah, all right, I would think that would be
our culprit. But do drain the system and see if
you get any different results. Let me know if you do,
I'd appreciate right, all right, Dave, thanks, take care. All right,
you can jump on board again. It's eight one hundred

(12:12):
we bring in Ron Wilson. Ron does a national gardening show,
and well he graces us with his presence for about
ten minutes every weekend, and this is the ten minutes. Yes, sir,
how are.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
You Wayne, mister Shellman, I'm a little dry.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, old, well, my lips are part it is dry.
I was even when I was making some notes for
a day's show. Usually this time of year, especially maybe
three weeks ago, we were always talking about the high
humidity and too much humidity in the house and not
being able to get comfortable, and it is so dry.
I started looking for separations by woodwork and walls that
(12:52):
you usually see in the winter time. I didn't find any,
but certainly if it continues, well, it'll start affecting foundations
and the house, and you know, it's affected our trees.
I had multiple people this week run and I set
them right. I took your advice, and they go, Man,
looks like it's going to be an early fall. Everything's
all right changing. I'm going, that's it's not fall.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
We got a ways to go.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
This is not fall.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
They're going to lose leaves early. We went to this
last year too, but we wound up getting some good
fall color.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Gets some great fall color. So you know, we had
all that rain about mid October. Remember, Yeah, it kind
of saved the day.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
It saved the day. It was kind of came through
and got us. But yeah, it's uh, it is. And
I think a couple of things. I always try to
remind folks. If you core air rate your lawn and
you go through and pull those plugs out, if you
come back and use composts and fill and do a
little top dressing and kind of fill those in a
little bit. Every time you do that, you create pores
(13:48):
channels for the water whatever does happen to come down
to penetrate into your soil. Rainfall that as sprinkler could
put down an inch of water in an hour. But
guess how much penetrates actually into the common clay soils.
Less than a quarter of an inch I.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Was gonna say, plus if you're on a hill or
something even worse. Nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
So, every time you add organic matter back to the
soil and cororating, especially for your turf, you help to
improve the opportunity for the soil to take advantage of
blow through showers, rainfall, watering, whatever. This may also be
a situation if you we've gone through this now for
about three or four falls in a row, do we
(14:27):
consider now doing the investment of an irrigation system.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, well, I'll tell you what. From somebody's head. One
for twenty years. I didn't use mine until about three
weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah. Well, the point being with the irrigation system is this, yeah,
and you and I talked about this before. This is
the way you use yours, not on a timer, no manual. Yeah,
and have it in segments so you can manually do
particular areas in the life.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I did it this week. I did it this week.
I did exactly that that little strip between the i'd
walk in the street. God knows what kind of soil
is there. I'm guessing it's all clay and it's the
first thing to dry out.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
And I might do the yard once, maybe twice, it
depends how dry it is.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
But you do it manually.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
But I needed the only time I used my timer
and my bra.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
On vacation yep. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And it's all cloud based now I got to total
control on my phone exactly.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
So I think that in the investment in that for folks,
if you know you're going to live there, and it's
a good sell on tool as well, that you know,
I've got an irrigation system. Should you need it, Yeah,
this is a great time. Should you need it, you know,
And it really does save you a lot of time,
So I would look to doing it. I'd look to
always the add organic matter back to the soil. It
is very very important.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And of course scheduled my erration yet.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Well, and you've got plenty of time, you know, you
get September October to do that.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Boy lately you do, that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Oh yeah, I mean we can run it, and we've
done it first in November, but you try to get
it done as early as you can. But again, I
think irrigation systems or something somebody you might want to
consider I'm doing if you know, if that turf in
the watering is important to you, and I think it
is to do that, so keep.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That in mind.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Evergreens right now, ghosts of droughts pass. That's what you
see next spring. If you aren't watering right now, I'll
tell you. I'll just tell you up front, that's what
you're gonna see because those are going to turn not
now and not during the winter, but next spring you're
gonna turn brown. And you're gonna have to think back
and when you didn't water in the fall, that's why
and that's why they're doing that. And so you got
to keep that in mind, and again the water bill.
(16:32):
I get it. But if you're investing one hundred bucks
extra in your water bill this month, it would cost
you way more than that to replace just one of
those evergreens, So keep that in mind too. And I
have one one more thing for you. Yeah, as I'm
ranting here, that's okay, guess what I got you? I
got a Gary Sullivan yesterday said, ron are these supposed
to be here? What would that be? Yellow jackets in
(16:57):
front of the window well of our neighbors in through
the and they had made a perfect little hole through
their groundcover so you couldn't see him going in and out.
Of course, now they're making their nests. Now they're getting
ready for you.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Know, are they inside there?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
They're in the ground, in the ground out in front
of a window. Will So I did the foam foaming,
which I always do, and it works. It's great, big
foam ball comes up. They can't get through it. And
by the time they do, but well, guess what didn't foam?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
No? Yeah, you're not that fast anymore, are you?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
And boy did I try? I mean, I try to
keep going. I kept thinking it was gonna foam up.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, And then
they were all coming out. But what I did, and
I did get stung in the in the hand and
it's hitching like crazy as honey. But what I did
get down there, I think I really knocked down the nest.
But point being is they are doing that right now.
They're very active. Yeah, you had the German yellow Yeah,
(17:52):
the German hornets. Uh no, you had the German yellow jackets.
They came inside your house, which they like cracks and crevice.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Well, this was just a little hole that probably was
a longer sixteenth three yeah or whatever, Right, a little
piece of missing mortar.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Yep. And that's why Gary's wife said, Gary, are they
supposed to be here? Because they were in his basement.
But they are very active right now. Be cautious if
you're working in the shrubs in the groundcover. They like
little dibbots in that where they can try to build
a nest.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, and you know what you got stung this week?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Yeah, you put your hand in there to do some
trimming or pull a weed, and you're in the middle
of all of them. So turn that rake around and
stick that handle out there, kind of poke in where
you're going to be working in the shrubs in the groundcover.
Make sure there's no action going on and take care
of that, but be very cautious. And if you're using
the foam sprays, which I do.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
All the time, yeah I've used that too.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Experiment first, make sure make sure it phams.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Well, you know you're kind of going with what you
think is gonna happen, right always in pham. Yeah, what
can I say? So?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Anyway, I thought of you because yes, yellow jacks are
jackets active.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
No, they're not supposed to be there. Very good, We'll
stay healthy, yes, sir?
Speaker 5 (19:08):

Speaker 6 (22:30):
Hi Gary.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
When you were talking to gentlemen earlier about the water pressure, yes, sir,
I'm not sure if I caught all the conversation, but
did you talk about a water softener? I did not,
is I had that issue and I replaced all the
granular media inside the water softener, and the water pressure
(22:55):
throughout the house went up ten to fifteen pounds, and
when it was coming in from the street is about
sixty fifty to sixty and I would lose quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Is that right now?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I almost I was considering replacing the pressure reducer valve.
But yeah, I did some reading and the service on
the water softener, and dam.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Hm, that's interesting. That's a good tip. One of the
things I thought of. You're always think of things after
the call, right, and I was. You know, one thing
I didn't ask him is what type of piping he
has in his home too. This seemed like it was
pretty immediate, that's happened. But if you have old galvanized piping,
or anything like that. You know, maybe it just got
(23:41):
to that point where it's really strict restricting volume and pressure.
I thought of that. I also thought of well, I
didn't talk about making sure that main valve was open
all the way. Of course, if he turns it off
and bleeds the system, he'll probably correct that problem if
that was the problem. But that's a great tip on
the on the on the water softer. In fact, I
(24:03):
think my softener. I've never replaced that media filter or
not filter, but material inside that. I'll bet you that
things eight ten, eleven years old.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah, I had just bought the house, and I have
no idea that's the former owner of a replacement.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Right right. My pressure is still good. But that's a
great tip, and I appreciate that. Jim. Take care, take care,
have a good weekend. All right, then let's go to Martin.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Martin Welcome, Yes, thank you Gary, and a great show.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Say I have yes, indeed I have some questions about
wedding forget. Okay, we had a handstorm go through here
where I live about ten years ago, eleven years ago,
so everybody had their roof replaced and I put a
JAF shingle on a dimensional shingle where they the roof
(25:01):
is not flat. I don't know what you call it,
but the roof's not.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Flat, right, it's like three dimensional.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Yeah, I guess it's a three D. And very soon
after we put the roof on, I had tiny bits
of lichen growing at the end of the shingle, at
the very lip.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Where it crosses over right.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
And listening to your show and listen about Wet and
Forget now it's the size of the lichen growth is
about maybe half the size of a thumbnail, so it's
not much, but it's spreading on the north side of
the roof, just ever so progressively. And there's a birch
(25:44):
tree there on the north which I want to keep
because it's the only one in the neighborhood and it
gives me beautiful shade. So my question about wet and
Forget is this, I know, I guess when you spray
it on the roof, it sticks to the roof and
then it works over six weeks right as it rains.
Will it hurt the granules on the roof if we
(26:05):
spray it on.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
When you spray the wedding forgetting.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
When you spray the wedding forget on is that going?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, there's not enough pressure, not enough pressure to hurt that.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Okay, a lot of people try to clean it with.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Their pressure washer, and that you can screw up a
roof real fast.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
That's what I don't want to do, right. Pressure this
is maybe.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I don't even know what the pressure is, but I'm
going to say, you know, it's like a it's like
a hose maybe with the nozzle at half half half force.
You know, it's not a solid stream, so it's not
going to hurt the roof at all. Just get it
good and wet, and it really puts out a lot
(26:52):
of mixture on there, so you'll flood it pretty good,
so the roof will be fine.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Does it change the color of the roof? Some of
the things I've looked at on YouTube, now, these were
lighter roofs, and mine was the darkest JAF shingle that
we could get if I spray it on there. Sometimes
on YouTube I see that the roof ends up to
colors after you know, they show before and after picture.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, it won't take the color. It won't affect the
actual color of the roof. However, that that fungus or
fun guy that's growing on the roof, maybe not so
much the like and it takes it's a process really
of growth of maybe three to five years. So you
(27:37):
could have just the slightest of shadows on that roof
where you wouldn't even suspect there's anything on there. And
then if you don't put an even cover of wet
and forget over the whole roof, maybe you skip an area.
All that doesn't look bad. I'm not worrying about that.
That would appear to be two different colors because it's
(27:58):
just the slightest of ray there which you wouldn't pick
it up until it cleans the rest of the roof.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Yeah, we're planning on doing the whole roof. It's not
so much on the south side. Yeah, we got to
do the whole roof. I have no question about it.
My last question is the gutters on the north side.
I have not out to the street. They're feeding into
that birch tree to give it extra water. So should
I divert those tubes away from the birch tree because
(28:32):
I'm you know, I don't want the birch tree to
be hurt.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, maybe when you're spraying it, okay, I wouldn't worry
about it. Once it's been sprayed, it'll tell you on
the label about you know, covering up vegetation. No, it's
safe for vegetation. But cover it up or hose it
off when you're finished, in other words, dilute it.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
But once once it's sprayed on there there's some residents,
but it'll be very minimal. I just don't want you
to spray it and the stuff's rolling down the roof
and in the gutter and putting it right on the
base of the tree. That probably wouldn't be all that
good for it.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Right, Okay, Hey, thank you so much. You have a
great show, and thanks you. I listening to you every week.
Appreciate you, sir very much.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Thank you, take care for bye. All right. Our phone
number if you'd like to grab a line, do so.
We got a spot for you. It's eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five and Warren welcome.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Hey, good morning, Garrett.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
How are you doing to doing fine? Thanks good Gary.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
We bought a house back in twenty twelve and it
was actually built back in twenty twelve and this year
we decided to make some upgrades to our bathroom shower, retiling.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
And what have I.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Well, one of the upgrades is going to be replacing
the bathroom shower off that fani. Okay, I was up
in the attic the other day looking around, and I
noticed that the builder ben into showered exhaust and through
the softy.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Instead of to the roof.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Is that standard practice or was it standard practice?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
No, but a lot of people do it. It's not
the best. It's better than not venting it at all.
But really, what you're doing, when you think about it,
is you're blowing hot moist air out, which could be
pulled back into the attic in a in a very
diluted form. But it really should be vented out through
(30:29):
the roof.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Okay, Because you know, I took my light.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I was looking around up there.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
I didn't see any mold that was concern.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Right, right.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
What I'm wanting is should I just leave it as
is if you place it, or should I call someone
to have a vent through the roof?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah? Preferably it would go through the roof. I mean,
I'm just you know, you can read the instructions on it.
It'll probably tell you the exact same thing. Some of
the things you're run in to problems with venting it
outside is a the moist warm air gets sucked back
into the attic. Another thing that happens in the winter
time is sometimes that warm moist air that's being blown out.
(31:14):
You know, if you got metal soffits or something along
that it freezes and you know, seals up some of
the soffit, so you mess up your balance of intake
air and out take air. And that's equally important in
the winter time as it is in the summertime. So
you know, by by you know, I'm not saying it's
(31:35):
gonna happen, but there's a possibility that it can happen,
and preferably you can vent straight out through the roof.
I've seen people even not vented outside because they got
a big cathedral type addic and they got a ridge vent.
So you know, I'm kind of giving you, you know,
(31:56):
the standard answer is vented out the roof and you're
not gonna have problems. You do the other two that
I just mentioned. There's a potential for a problem, you're
not seeing it, So okay, you know your call.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Well, we have the pots best, but let's say I
choose going to the grew up. Would that be a
realking contractor that would do that?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, yeah, sure, yes.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
Okay, well Ronnie, that's perfect and I appreciate it.

the phones we go, grab a line and Dave, welcome.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
Thanks for making my call. Gary. I've been I'm seeing
a lot of advertising on tellers and radio for product
that's sprayed on roofs and supposed to give up to
fifteen years of additional life. I was wondering, i'd you
know anything about it or is it.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
True or well, yeah, I know roof Max. Is that
the product you're thinking of?
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, so that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
It's professionally applied, and I have to admit I haven't
really seen the commercials in so you can get fifteen
years of additional life, but there's three applications in that
fifteen years. So the product works, but it's not for everybody,
and it may be perfect for you, Dave, So let
me just kind of tell you how it works. I'd
(36:42):
say a typical twenty five year roof or a thirty year
roof is probably going to get you twenty years on
a twenty five year roof and maybe twenty five years
on a thirty year roof. Because what happens to a roof,
and that's why they pro all, is it lose the
protective coatings of the shingles, that sand that's on the shingle.
(37:08):
Its sole purpose is to protect the shingle from the sun,
and over time it begins to lose that granular protection
and the shingles starts getting beat up by the UV rays.
The shingle can crack, it can curl, but it'll be,
(37:29):
you know, in its final stages. If you will, calling
roof Max once it's in its final stages is too late.
But if you start maybe in year I don't know,
say fifteen. Say it's a thirty year roof, and you
start in year fifteen to twenty and twenty to twenty
five and you start seeing an excessive amount of that
(37:54):
granular that sand in your gutters, you're always gonna have
it even after year one or two. But if it
starts getting heavier and you start seeing maybe a little deterioration,
and what I mean by that is maybe some bald
spots on the shingle. It hasn't started cracking, he hasn't
started curling. And at that point, if you called roof Max,
(38:15):
they would come out and say, yes. So what we
do at roof Max is we professionally apply a sealant
over the shingles at about I don't know if they
give you any number, but it's about a third of
the cost of a roof.
Speaker 8 (38:31):
Yeah, that's what they they they say, that's about the price.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, okay, all right, So that's about the that's about
what it's going to cost you. And what it does
is it's a celant that gives you five years worth
of protection and it seals reseals or reglues if you will,
the granular coating on the shingle. Okay, and so you
(38:57):
buy yourself five years, you know, And the purpose of
the roof Max. Quite honestly, if you really look at it,
it's the kind to get you the thirty years of
the shingle. I'm not saying that roof wouldn't last thirty years,
but in a lot of cases it doesn't. So having
that roof Max applied, you buy five years of protection.
(39:18):
You can buy another five years of protection. You can
do it, I think up to three times. So you know,
the question is what I always tell people to think
is you know you're going to be in that house
for a bunch long time, must go ahead and replace
the roof once it starts getting bad. If you think
you're going to be in and out of there maybe
in the next, uh, you know, four to six years,
(39:42):
it might be something you want to consider. Okay. So
that's how it works, and it works, okay, all right,
very good day, Thanks, take care, bye bye again. I
don't want to say it's for everything. You know, there's
so many neat products out there, but they're not for everybody.
(40:02):
For instance, I always go back to the easy Breathe,
which I always talk about and I always talk about
how wonderful it is. But one time there was a
lady that called me and said, well, it didn't do
anything for my house. And I said, well, call Easy
Breathe and I asked her some questions, and all of
a sudden, she says, well, I don't have air condition.
(40:23):
I have my windows open all the time. And I'm going, well,
it's not going to work. Well, you said it would work,
so no, you know, I did say it works, because
it does work. But you can't have your windows open
when it's seventy four degrees with ninety percent humidity. You're
just bringing that moisture in. Anyway. Now, as beautiful as
(40:46):
it is where I am today with low humidity and
really dry, you can leave your windows open all you want,
got them open right now. So it depends, you know,
it depends. You got to research it, maybe a step more,
all right, Cindy, welcome, good on.
Speaker 9 (41:04):
Garry I found a bumblebee ground nest nest next to
our house foundation about a month month and a half ago,
and we had been and I was told.
Speaker 6 (41:16):
To let it go. They're not going to hurt you.
Speaker 9 (41:18):
So I'm and they're good for those, you know everything.
So I'm like, Okay, well, now we've been finding them
down in.
Speaker 10 (41:24):
Our basement and I mean they are they're the queens,
They're huge, and I'm thinking, how in the world can
they be getting through the foundation bricket? You know, do
I have a problem is that?
Speaker 6 (41:36):
You know what? What do you think is problem?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
For sure? Right? Definitely a problem how they're getting it?
Do you have a block foundation?
Speaker 7 (41:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah, I can't tell you exactly how they're getting in,
but probably nothing to mess with, to be honest with
you know, talking to Ron Wilson that he got stung,
same thing with those this week. But if there is
a crack in that block and they're burrowing down into
the ground and they get into that crack, you know
(42:12):
that block is got voids in.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
It, right, and it's got an open it's like open.
Speaker 6 (42:18):
On the top.
Speaker 9 (42:19):
So that's probably crawling up to the light.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
That's how they're probably getting in. That's probably now they're
getting in. So can you seal that? Sure, you can
seal it with cocking. You can seal it with on
the inside. Of course, you'd trap them on the you know,
inside that block calking leak stop would seal that. What
(42:43):
Ron was using was and it was a hornant wasp
killer that foams. You know, when it foams it it
expands and goes into crevices, et cetera. And you would
kill But if they're all the inside the house, I
don't know how effective you know, that would take care
of the part that's in the ground. Once they're inside
(43:08):
the house and you kill the nest outside maybe with
that foam, I don't know what happens then, I mean,
I really don't know. But they're inside your house and
that's problematic, right, So if you want to get a
pest control coming in there and take a look at
(43:28):
it once they enter the house, that might be a
good idea. If you want to try and use the
foam and eliminate it yourself, that's a possibility. Also, get
getting to the source. That's certainly always the key, and well,
good luck with that. That's a that's a they're bad issue,
and they're everywhere for sure. Hey, talking about some of
(43:50):
my favorite products, and Terra Mender is certainly one of them.
