3:51 - there is no “kickout flashing” where the gutter meets the wall. So water can overshoot the gutter and get into that wall area much easier. A very common problem.
@chrisc9389 going over the timeline. 4 to 8 years. A lot of variables though. Because there was a lot of moisture in the wall the subterranean termites don't have to report underground as ofter and can consume more food. That was bad. Thanks for watching.
Disgusting but imagine how much more disgusting it would’ve been to pull that apart when they were all active. I don’t know how you can touch that stuff with your bare fingers lol. I’d be using a pry bar or a screwdriver and have three layers of gloves on lol 😂
wait they didnt insulate between the brick and plywood.. smells like a shoddy 80s build. also bushes next to house. yeah. i tore everything out and laid gravel 3 feet from the house all around and made a little retaining bed with bricks (lots of bricks). found a lot of termite nests this year all over the yard due to constant rain in the spring but nothing touched the house. i copied a neighbor years ago and others copied me. now half the street looks like arizona. but you do what you gotta do. also cut them trees away from your house. you want sun. lots of sun. humidity eats houses. and bugs love trees and water. anyway this is not too horrible to fix, unless it goes on and on. its just framing and drywall which can be knocked out relatively cheaply and easily. compared to some others, this one might be lucky.
I would agree about it being an 80s build because they built terribly in my area (Arizona lol) during the 1980s however the house in the video has yellow Romex wires stapled to the studs (suggesting an original installation) and they only started making it yellow in the early 2000s. So I’d say it’s an early to mid 2000s house. That’s what I’d call housing boom construction lol.
@@everythinghomerepair1747 interesting. very plausible you are right and its 2002-2005 build. in my area that general design was phased out by the clinton era tho so im visually biased

Buen video, gracias
Gracias.
How do even fix that on a two story house? What’s supporting the upper floor?
A whole lot ripping and tearing. $$$$ . Thanks for watching
Crazy to think you wouldn't even think anything of it from outside the house
@@rodneythe3rd122 I definitely didn't expect that much damage.
@rodneythe3rd122 thanks for watching
Good Lord!! That is the worst I have ever seen! How long do you think it took them to cause this much damage? years or months??

The wires are not encased in electrical conduit to protect them from moisture. That house would have had a dangerous incident sooner or later.
I agree.
