Mold mitigation with foundation drain retrofit

• 0:01 - 0:31

So I'm up here at Kyle's place. This is looking in the inside the inside of the foundation. Um, you can see, we've got a little bit of moisture down there in the bottom, and then it's, it's kind of, uh, seeping through the cinderblock grout lines. And then, uh, we've got a little bit of a bold accumulation right there into that two by four. Uh huh. So that's that. So it is basically we need to remove the whole water as much as possible. We're going to look at this right here.

• 0:31 - 0:42

It looks like you just have a little bit of water right there. And then, uh, Kyle and Rachel said that there's some water that was in here, um, during, during runoff, I suppose.

• 0:45 - 1:15

All right, I'm still up here. Kyle's place. And we have this, uh, concrete here. We're going to bury this concrete and put a little bit of our excess dirt along this berm here. And now we also need to get a price together for redoing this retaining wall is starting to, um, bow out and, and bulge out there at the top. It's the beginning, it's slow demise, which could last for years, or it could go more quickly. And in the meantime, it's unsightly.

• 1:15 - 1:39

So we're going to go ahead and quote for that wall, that wall, which I'm going to say that is going to be about 30 feet, give or take 35. Maybe then we have this wall here down to there, right at the tip of the boat there.

• 1:41 - 2:13

And I want to quote on getting those fabricated concrete blocks that we have at our yard that have a nice finish on the front, on the face. And we'll stack those with an excavator. And then we're essentially going to dig up this foundation and undo the backfill. We're going to have an electrical conduit right here, which we'll have to hand dig and expose that it's probably not very deep about 18 inches or so we'll dig around that.

• 2:13 - 2:44

But basically we're going to dig down from right about, at the back of that a little barrel and go out four feet from the foundation. And we're going to dig down to the base of the foundation, which is going to be about five feet down here in the back. About three to four feet down here on the side, we're going to dig along here. We're going to put drain pipe in the bottom and we're going to backfill almost the entire thing with crushed rock, or we could do river rock, I think crushed rock, just like this stuff here.

• 0:00 - 0:00

• 2:45 - 3:15

And we're going to dig down to the bottom of the foundation here to four feet out all the way along here. This is going to be demoed. This is demoed. Um, this will be demoed and then we'll get to join the two drain pipes together right here and come out this way towards me. And then out into the bottom of this swell here. And if we hit rock through here, we're going to have to break it. We're going to dig out here.

• 3:15 - 3:46

So this a propane tank will need to be located as well. Um, we're going to do separate quotes for mitigating the mold. This mold mitigation is an active mitigation scene. This is time is of the essence. So we could potentially charge a rush fee on this, um, and get in here on the double the next week or something.

• 3:46 - 4:04

And then this is a we're ventilating this so they can keep us dry, keep the mold from coming back. So, um, then any other excess dirt is going to come out here. And so our drain pipe is going to come out this way and we're going to backfill it.

• 4:09 - 4:53

And then we'll be coming in with, with gravel and we'll come in through here with gravel and then we'll need to reshape this when we're done, um, potential throw some straw and seed. And then over here is where we're going to put additional, um, excess soil. We're going to either bury that or, I mean, we could throw any excess concrete in here and then we could bury it with, with our dig spoils for this trench will be daylighting our, our drain pipe out into here.

• 4:55 - 5:25

So actually it's liable deeper than five feet. So it's probably closer to eight feet. Um, yeah, so I'm sure I misquoted Ms. Estimated the amount, but it's probably going to be closer to the 10,000 is my guess, but we can just do a major drain at the bottom and we'll add it all up.

• 5:27 - 5:42

I think it's going to be about 10 loads of gravel. Give or take about a hundred, a hundred cubic yards. We can try to pull some measurements off of Google and put together a quote or an estimate. So that's that.
