    The smartest thing the home owner did was agree to trust an engineer. It was so professional of you guys to suggest this. So many times people want to cut costs by not hiring an architect, engineer, lawyer, building inspector, or other professional when one is needed. It always ends up costing them more in the long run. You guys are so impressive in doing everything the right way.

      It'll cost a fortune if it caves in with a car, will need firefighters (to assess the danger of fuel and pump it out), architect (to asses the structure integrity if anyone can even enter the building/garage, possibly done by fire dep) and recovery crew (to get the car out)

      That is just things are done now!
      TBH? He never did show how the drains and the drain pipes were connected! Since they were rotted out around the drains? I can Only speculate.
      First speculation: There was no Waterproofing between two dissimilar pipes (Cast to CVPVC)
      Second Speculation: There was no Waterproofing between the Cast and Concrete! BTW? This won't stop the problem, JUST delay it! IF and only IF you live in the Rust Belt? Your Mechanic will attest to this theory!
      In my theory? Use Stainless Steel for grates and use Grout and a sealer with the Stainless Steel! That seems to work in Bathrooms!
      How do I know all of this? Let's call it experience!
      40 years ago they poured of 24" thick slabs with 1.5" rebar on one of the busiest highways where I live and they said it would last a "lifetime"..I am still alive and that part of the road is now covered in asphalt!

    I am a concrete cutting contractor in Phoenix and I found this series interesting for two reasons. First, because I recently discovered a similar situation in a commercial building I was working in. It was a very old industrial warehouse in downtown phoenix probably over 100 years old. I was getting ready to saw cut plumbing trenches for a new butcher shop going in when I noticed what looked like an abandoned conduit cut off flush to the surface. I looked down it and it went deeper than I expected. I put my measuring tape in and it went about 8.5 feet. I grabbed a flashlight and i could see a void space with a cast concrete wall. I looked all around the building and could find no stairs, but there was a suspicious rectangular patch in the floor. I packed up and left as I had no idea how big the cellar was. I returned a few weeks later and the general contractor had cut and removed a 2' square of the suspicious patch and revealed that it had covered up a concrete stairway into a roughly 15' x 25' cellar that extended under the demising wall to about 10' under the next suite. The building was originally a warehouse for a florist. I suspect that it was used for cold storage before refrigeration was invented. The building owner apparently vaguely remembered having it covered over when he split the place up into storefront spaces, but had forgotten about it. As i understand it they decided to us it as dry storage for the new shop. One of the trenches and the grease trap were marked out for me to cut over top of this cellar. I could have easily fallen into that hole with a 700 lb machine following me, had I cut it like it was marked on day 1. I suspect that you had a similar feeling when you saw that hole in the decking instead of dirt.
    The second reason is that my house has a similar basement under what was built as a carport. The construction is different and it's not hidden but a similar idea. The parking deck is supported by steel trusses on 18" centers sitting on 6" cast concrete walls. The deck itself is formed on the bottom by this strange wire mesh reinforced twine and paper like fabric laid across the trusses. It is 4" of concrete with rebar grid that can be seen in a penetration they made for ventilation. You can see where the mesh paper sagged between trusses about 1/2 inch. The house was built in the 50s and I think the carport was enclosed in the 80s. They parked two cars from that era on it for many years, as is apparent from oil spots still visible on what is now a stained concrete floor. There is some surface cracking that looks like it happened early on, maybe as the concrete shed its water and got lighter and it flexed back up. I'm curious to know if you have a similar condition with your pour? I enjoy your videos and appreciate the extra effort you put into capturing them on video for us. Thanks

      @gunfisher4661 Před rokem +1

      That reminds me of a sidewalk job I seen a company do in the downtown area where the buildings were 3-4 stories. Any way when they started to demo the sidewalk they found that the basement from the building went out to the street curb ,it was quite a job to replace that sidewalk. On an interesting note though in some towns it is not that all uncommon for buildings to have their basements run out to the street curb. I never have found out why some were designed that way.

    I remember a while ago watching similar process going on. Apart his floor hadn't started to crack. He had big old heavy cars and wasn't sure his floor was going to take the heavyweight. The void below stayed but with more steels and cross beam and they had to make the concrete thicker. The driveway had to slope up more to meet the new height of garage floor.The customer was very happy because he ended up with twice the space and a safe space For his old heavy cars. Hard task for anyone to take on

    The work you and your team did is excellent!

  • @billz482
    @billz482 Před rokem +1

    I watched this project with much interest. 15 years ago I built my detached 24x34 garage and the ground elevation difference from front to rear was over 9 feet. That required a costly and substantial poured concrete foundation. The architect suggested that instead of filling it in with the expensive material required by code, we make use of the space below the rear of the garage for storage. The engineer’s specifications for the garage floor called for corrugated galvanized steel spanning the middle to rear foundation walls with a temporary 2x4 support wall underneath. Since the span was almost 10 feet, rebar was spaced as your project, on a 12” grid, but doubled. One layer at the bottom of the 8” concrete pour and the other just below the surface. Fiberglass reinforced concrete was used also. Some small windows were incorporated in the foundation forms as well as 6’x8’ double doors at the rear of the foundation. I now have a 9’x32’ “basement” under my garage. At first I was a little freaked out at the thought of having 4 cars and shop equipment over my head, but in all these years nothing has cracked or moved. Having the required certified engineer involved was the key. Please continue with your great videos. 👍🏻

    I have been a concrete contractor since 1988 and I only ran into a space like this underneath porches. After the first one, when we poked through with a jackhammer and saw the homeowners beer can collection on the shelves, I ALWAYS check the basements for another open area. I have never found an open space like you did under a garage! You can bet that I will be checking on those too from now on! Thank you for this video. You probably saved a lot of contractors a lot of headaches.

He got some 2" or so seamless aluminum pipe and set 3/4 of it in the cement directly below the overhead door. It was a perfect straight edge as a threshold for the door seal to sit on. He was right, it sealed out water and wind and was easy for me to sweep dirt over. I think the first door gasket lasted 20+ years too. I bet that pipe is still there. Good memories.

Worried you wouldn't tie the decking to the steel, but you did everything and then some. You explained the process, the reasons, I liked your respect for the Engineer. I liked your reasons for using a plastic drain body. You closed in the ends of the decking. Great attention to details. You covered waterproofing of the concrete, maintenance of the waterproofing, protection of the rebar, strength of the concrete. Would work with you any time. It's guys like you that work with integrity and are experienced that makes the final product so much better and everyone sleeps better ever after. I hope and pray your clients and crew know what they're getting. Nice Job Sir.

    I would have not put those drains back in. It is obvious that the failure was the drains leaking causing the decking to rust. As a homeowner and a diyer I would have preferred a flatter floor with a slight slope to the door.

    I just watched a video of ancient concrete with an incredible self healing element used which has been revealed, just yesterday. I think the material actually uses associated material in the cement to attract like mold and then solidifies. 2000 yr old structures like the Parthenon, used it and it still stands like it did when it was Born oops built.

    Bridge deck pours are similar with burlap and a garden hose to keep moisture in to slow down curing of the pour. That floor will be very strong and durable. The strength is mainly in the steel.

    It's so refreshing to see a contractor that actually cares about the durability and longevity of their product and making sure the job is done right. So many contractors only care about getting in/out as fast as possible, just doing the minimum required to just get paid.

    I've never seen a little pump truck like that before but we did used to have a guy who had a small pull-behind his truck bumper.

  • @PaganWizard
    @PaganWizard Před rokem +1

    I was just a tiny bit surprised that the homeowner didn't want to pour the basement floor, before the garage floor, but, I'm sure that $$$$$ got in the way of that. That sure was an unexpected treasure that, unfortunately, got real expensive, real fast. In this situation, how difficult would it have been to leave a hole in the garage floor that's about 30 inches wide, between the I beams, very much like the service pit you see at many oil change places?? This would obviously allow the homeowners to service their own vehicles. I have seen pre-poured slabs of concrete get used for exterior walls, as well as, for floors and ceilings. Would something like that been an option with this project, especially with those steel beams already in place?? What would the pros and cons be??

    @keithburch5506 Před rokem

    Wow, wow, wow! This pour was so interesting! An engineer was brought in, you used a type of concrete that you've never used before! Oh man, now that is a huge statement. The chemicals used were extensive. I did not know there was an inhibitor to resist salt damage. 5000 psi, I do understand that and that necessity. Curing 8 days covered, I don't fully understand that. The old concrete lasted 18 years. With this new pour, the rebar 1'x1' grid, the correct drains and the type of concrete and if the owner does indeed have it resealed every 4 years then this pour will last decades. I'm just amazed at the work the TSH crew put into this pour. This pour was very interesting for me and I really enjoyed seeing it accomplished. Going on 40 years in the business and today using a new type of concrete made this pour one to remember. You'll have to add a gold star beside this job in your book! Very nice job videoing too Tom, thank you so much! Always good stuff here on your channel. Looking forward to the next one. Happy New Year!👍👌❤🇺🇸🇺🇸

  • @talleyrand2739
    @talleyrand2739 Před rokem +1

    half inch chairs seems a bit close to the bottom of the pour ,though guess you have different rules over there re the placement of steel and how its location effects the structural strength of the slab also would have placed slip joints where it sits on existing structure to allow movement without cracking,here if you added to the mix would be rejected immediately,what strength was the mix ??and slump , and YES have done many slabs on this type of suspended floors with metal decking here in AU prior to a pour the engineers checks all is correct and writes off as such ,as said interesting you , would find green seal or similar works wonders ,just spray on and no need for the coverage you used ,here use a stud gun to tie sheets together and to fix to the structural steel ,quick fast and cheaper labour wise
