Thanks I have spoken to a few places and my friend got some of that sealer from his previous project. Right now that is priority and will be repairing the crack this May. I have decided to do concrete walkway but that will be next summer, so in the mean time I will be looking in a trench drain...

Thanks guys for the tips and comments! Tried to diy the pavers but I ended up with a failed project. I will look into lowering the pavers this summer, and my friend says he will help me seal the crack from inside and outside. I always wanted a concrete walkway so maybe next summer Ill hire...

Re: Not all this applies to your situation; poly crack sealer. Thank you very much! I will look into this, when it comes to foundation or concrete i rather have a professional do this but it seems easy enough!

Thanks for the help and suggestions! This house was a new build and the grading is pitched towards the backlane. I had 3 different landscape companies come to get an estimate on the paving, all 3 said that the grading would have to be up to the top of the gray area of the garage which is what I...

I have a problem with my garage foundation. My wife notified me there was some water coming in from the back wall of the garage. The garage is 4 years old, 22 x 22 detached with a 4" curb around the pad. I went outside and checked the exterior of the property. I have ice build up btwn my garage...

Well i'm not totally dissapointed, it was free after all. After reading a few threads on the site I should get the biggest that I can afford. So my budget is $400-500CDN. Some have caught my eye on homedepot.ca LOL! I will move on from this compressor. Maybe I'll keep the tank, seen some...

Thanks guys for the replies! A company that repairs Campbell Hausfeld products said to only use Campbell Hausfeld replacement parts, and yes it was eye gouging prices compared to the ones linked in the thread. I will get generic parts. I'll only be using this to change summer/winter rims, maybe...

Hi guys, I received a free Campbell Hausfeld WL611102 Oilless Air Compressor from my neighbour, along with a 1/4 hose and some fittings. (in the process of separation) I tried to drain the moisture from the drain valve but the wing nut is stuck. I searched and saw a vid to add a ball valve...

Just an update, builder sent someone over to investigate. It was raining and noticed water entering the window. He pulled the vapor barrier and the wood/batt is soaked. He looked outside and said they still have to finished the exterior and apply a product called blue seal around the windows and...

If i cut through the vapor barrier (ceiling to floor), can I use that red tuck tape to tape them back together?

My downspouts are not installed yet, builder is waiting until the sidings are finish in the spring which hopefully soon. The grade is sloping away from the house and there is no ice or snow. The hvac installer shoveled it for me to install the a/c unit lol. The moisture does extend all the way...

Thnks for the link. Whats the difference btwn the two flooring? During the build I would visit the house and I remember the basement walls had some ice build up. The article is bang on on whats happening.

Yes I remember seeing drains along the perimeter that is emptied to the sump pit. I'll double check with the site supervisor. I just checked the A/c lines from the outside and the hole is sealed with foam. I attached a picture of the area affected. This was just before leaving work, ill try...

Yes this is on my mind too, I'm already running a dehumidifier 24/7 in the basement prior to this. the RH is 35% readings from my dehumidifier and hydrometer.
