Tom has and Orange Machine on the Job and I have a Yellow one coming soon lol
Can never have too many toys
WOW !! Getting creative with slab/ epoxy. Way to go Tom,there is NO limit to this kind of craftsmanship. Perhaps you can make a waterfall table for Donna!!??
In Australia around certain areas where old volcanic soils are super absorbant, we get winter and summer huge variation in moisture content and subsequent slab heaveal.
This was a fun show. I've never seen or heard of heaving under concrete like this unless it froze. I learned something new. I remember the warehouse video, now I understand.
A company I worked for years ago built a new manufacturing plant and the architects plan called for 56" footing. He explained it was to keep the water from coming in under the floor (amongst other reasons). Now I understand.
The epoxy pour was very interesting. Please give us updates.
Wow - not the typical video. Learned a ton! So great that you didn't have to wheel barrow all of that out of there.
Nice video Tom, never seen a sub grade material that would heave, when wet, 4" like that, and it did not crack. You have been involved in a few unique type pours, but you have a reputation, if it can be fixed: Concrete with the Hauses is your Contractor.. Word of mouth, when your price is good, your quality is good, and respect for the owners property is good, you will stay busy forever... MANY Contractors do not take the pride in their work, and expense to do the very best JOB. IF i was anywhere near you you would be my Contractor, and i might come out work for free just to watch you guys work. :) A fan for life Tom thanks You restore my faith in mankind that their still is HOPE: For honesty and integrity!
❤💯🙏
The strength of that is amazing. Nice job.
That sucks the home owner has to go through all that expense because the proper materials were not used under concrete. Thankfully there are good trades like you out there.
The home owner would benefit from a perimeter drain around his house to prevent the water running down the hill from damaging his property again.
It’s great to be a homeowner,sometimes
Really enjoy your videos Tom. Talented group of guys!
Glad you like them!
This used to be a very bad situation here in my town back before the 70s, henceforth I built my home 18 inches minimum off of ground, now since our horrendous earthquakes recently, all our new home's must have 8 inches reinforced concrete floors, as a legal requirement, water is terrible under floors without protection. I am so happy that this particular pour is shown, thank you Tom and crew for another wonderful episode. 😊😊😊.
Owners would be wise to dig a ditch around the house and drain pipe in with clean drain rock and pull the water away from their house. I had to do it at my house and solved a water problem under my house. 😊
Nice job on a difficult project. Your usual. 😁
I would of put a rebar grid in this job 100% forsure. Rebar grid
SCL-1000 is a really good machine... 36 inch wide with almost 10 inch tracks... I love mine... Just finished paying it off yesterday for the 36 month payments... It has already paid for itself... I would highly recommend it... Mike M does need to get one for sure, to match his orange work force. LOL thumb nail is why I clicked on your video... Good luck
Perfect thanks
Very interesting! Thanks for letting us watch and learn.
Good golly! After seeing this, I believe you will tackle any job. That had to be long hard work! Great job.
Oh yeah, this was a fun one
Interesting video 👍 Amazing how a bad choice of material can cause so much trouble. Good job with the repair. PS the door is looking great so far, can't wait to see the completed project
Thanks 👍
If the bucket was tapered your quantities of resin were off. You had too much activator no? The bucket would have to cylindrical to use a 4" and 2" measurement.
you need to give the water a place to go, from the outside put drain tile and then daylight it so water will have a place to exit, water is forcing it upward get rid of the water.
Philadelphia Mike -- Watching your video -- is Thursday the 13th. -- You’re doing the job inside the house ripping out the floor that raised up in the middle -- I was thinking you should’ve put maybe a drain pipe along the wall that was seeping water -- And rain French strain that went outside the house -- if the dimensions allowed you to drain that way -- Just an idea
Or even run a French drain system all through the floor before you poured --Point
Looks like a hydrostatic pressure issue. Seen it a few times in my career.
Good job guys
Granulated slag In the 80's it was cheap fill. It had to be "Dead" to be under concrete, if not it has gas in it and expands.
Unique episode!!! How often do you find flooring that rises? Must have been cheap fill back then . Liked your solution 👍👍👍
This video is a bit different than your usual concrete pour. Very interesting,
Thanks
Morgan's partnership with Kubota just expired. He owns 2 orange machines but the rest go back. Says he doesn't want another partnership with anyone.
When you retire I hope you still video your crew!
If the house was built 25 years ago and has mill slag underneath it, I guarantee it was not D-GAS if you took all the slag out they will never have another problem I seen floors back in the 70s and 80s that had armco slag underneath it. It would heave and crack so bad you could lay your arm in the crack that’s before. They started to de gas contractors back, then thought they were getting a deal because the stuff was so cheap, but it caused all kinds of problems
Why didn’t you add foam board of spray high density foam insulation on top of soil before add in stone base? It would have made the house better insulated … in fact in some states i5 would have been mandatory… may soon be code mandatory in most states… almost always done in new construction. Adding insulation also to perimeter footer would also insulate.. could also help with water infiltration.
We typically just do that at ground level. Everything in the basement is 36 inches below grade.
@@Concretewiththehauses I will say yes the videos I have been seeing, of adding insulation beneath the slabs, have been on-grade types…it may not be typical to add insulation to slabs in basements, but then again why not? After all, there is heated space in basements and perimeter footings and walls are exposed to ground temperature… maybe insulating below basement slabs would have advantages…I didn’t understand from the video shown that you were doing a basement…you entered from a garage that must have been walkout hillside exposure… I assumed it was a slab on grade having not seen an exterior photographic shot… still, wondering if insulating under any slab or foundation wall or footing for a building should not be considered…even below 36 inches.
That door is going to be beautiful 😍
Coming along nicely
Hi Tom, are you going to address the water inflation. From the out side? That water on the out side should be taken care of. Just a thought.
Homeowner is taking care of that
In similar scenarios where you need to allow for possible future movement I have used fully compacted hardcore topped with 2-3 inches of medium density polystyrene below the concrete
Wasn't much wiggle room for that machine and power buggys to work with in that little hallway.
I'd be questioning the wall with the paneling. Maybe the builder should have had drainage around the perimeter but we all know they cut corners. I just had our house resided with a material i didn't know anything about and the company also has a factory to produce it. It is polymer like what goes inside of air planes. They have a different kind of pieces that go around the outer edges and under the siding they put thick styrofoam which conforms to the different styles of siding, we stayed with the Dutch lap. The siding and all other pieces have a woodgrain texture, they make a j channel but it's bigger and after they put the siding on slip the styrofoam underneath, then they put a thick metal strip on with screws, no nails. Underneath all that they put house wrap on. My house has no seams like typical siding. It cost us around 35,000 dollars to have it done. On the corners behind that piece is also styrofoam to keep insects from getting in
So - after doing a number of poured epoxy tables, I am not a fan of parchment paper or plastic. I strongly prefer to use an epoxy mold release agent. It can be as simple as paste wax, but the spray epoxy releases are best and easiest. No matter how well you affix the plastic or parchment, it always tends to wrinkle and means more sanding.
I'm surprised you didn't use the new pumper, or is this too small of a project for all the cleanup?
Could it be the beginning of a volcano??? 😂😂
Suggestion for epoxy - could have sealed the live edge with just a thin coat of epoxy and let cure. This prevents any trapped air from coming through the pour from that edge.
You are the expert. But...I always thought the reason people backfilled with stone is it's basically 100% compaction from the get go.
Nice Compact mini loader. I thought that Compact loader would work in your company..
I'm sure the team resolved a similar job a couple of years ago in a factory setting......?
Tom confirmed this later in the video around 14 minutes.
Hi mate, random question, are you happy with DeWalt? Do you like the 60V? What power tools are your favourite? Cheers
Nice epoxy pour.
It seems to me the water extrusion problem is a serious problem that should be addressed.
Bingo. Proper exterior foundation drainage (e.g. french perimeter drain) and waterproofing are necessary to minimize future heave issues. An interior french drain tile could have been installed, but that would have required installation of a sump pit. But that would take away from the usable space and be noisy.
Would have been a good time to use the blower for concrete.
No steel rebar reinforcement???
13:04 THAT GUY TAKING A LEAK IN THE CORNER? INSIDE THE CUSTOMER'S HOUSE?
He is taping plastic.
What a tricky job damn
Mike no more Kabota they ended the promotion. He looking for new equipment.
Watch out, toxic fumes from the buggy.
Does Mike know you moved to Kubota😂
One spritz for you two for me? Type of alcohol spritz?
French drain
👋🏼
Terrible foundation
