Hi guys Kirk here with kirk giordano plastering, what we're going to do today severe crack repair
now Brett Alameda reports the beach and a lot of homes in this part of the track there isn't
a crack is what is landfill sand another is this a lot of underground streams going on
in fact this chimney here it collapsed a bit just dropped a wee bit and they put a
new foundation on it they put new tears under the beach under the front of the house went 13
feet deep so they hit something solid to raise it up and stabilize this now the water tables
under here they range from anywhere to say this house Mike when you dig down have water
four feet deep the next house might not have it six feet deep or may have it one foot deep
there's a lot of underground rivers in Alameda they hired somebody and they put an interior
plaster here so let's stop here zoom in right here dings okay this is an interior plastic
when it starts to rain this is going to absorb water and just come right off and it's pretty
much around the rest of the house what we are going to do is I've got a pressure wash this off
my powerful pressure washer I have quite a few of them my biggest best one is what we've used
because it'll just take it off instantly then we're going to apply a well precoding all these
back we're going to put stucco on some of the areas I'm going to cost if I can but according
to what I've heard already there's basically very limited paper very limited wood you can
see some of the exterior from inside that means it's deteriorated corners here said well gee can
you waterproof it and give me a guarantee after that solution if we care all this stuff along
and redo it we can but for now they don't want to do that I don't blame so we're going to go ahead
I walked around, and we're on a very, very busy street, so it's going to get loud here. You may
not hear, but I just want to show you what we're doing today. We've got this one crack
those are deep packs they go back ever tough to waterproof something that's already shifting we
got the cracks here we got this coming right off and then we got the front of it the front of the
house is the same thing what I understand he says there's no wood left here it's just hollered so
when we break it out well the best way to water tonight temporary again they're eventually
going to probably have spoilers for the winner. It's getting close. We want to get it fixed up,
and then they're well aware that they should put on a primer and waterproof paint. I recommended
the Kelly Moore last American prime is very well maybe twice and then Mr. Postol that says it
lasts about seven years anyhow we're going to get started with this correct some of these damages.
okay, guys, never grab the stage where you do not take it off, and now I can completely see
what the heck I have to work with these cracks here I'm going to put a polyurethane caulking
in there a bit over the hairline, but they're not worthy of cement this here is where they
have cemented probably pretty large now what I'm going to do the wrap itself on this crack
here that cracked and clutters then on the bottom of this chimney there is an area that about three
inches thick you can also do the rapid set on that because it sets quickly and it actually put it on
it has a pretty high strength like 3,000 psi the strength of the cement we're using now, of course,
that's supple cement we're using this chimney where this house shifts because of the water
rivers underground and all the traffic going by the wind the rain is settled which it well what
I'm doing even though it's stronger than that crap boiler say that no such thing doing scuffle
this building decides to move my cosmetic finishes or not and stop all that should have
something else important it really loud here we remove all of the interior finishing and of
course the interior finish just dissolves you hit it with water to three times like
washing dishes we will dissolve then you hit it with the pressure come right off I don't want
to remove because we have some huge cracks in here I've been a coffee but I'm leaving
some of his we got that stuff just spraying a can spray foam and it expands so I'm going to
leave that in there why because I don't want huge halls in here because we can't pull it
with caulking so we're gonna leave all all this in there fella who did this thing is the right
material exterior cement is material but it didn't at least he phoned all that big stuff
because talking will just keep falling through the house anyway we're almost at that stage to
we're gonna go ahead and mix up some rap it set and I'm gonna catch these in okay guys and you
see exterior stuff this stuff here will not wash off in the brain and it's exchanged all
Over here right and get out of the noise right this joint has been done over here I'm still
doing this right now I'm taking water on this closer this is already dry again I'm using a
rapid it rabbit said how do you know it's rapidset well rabbit said cement is white and depending on
the color of the sand we return tan sometimes I've done where it turns grey because of add mixtures
and the sand coming but usually it's kind of a tannish color and this particular material
I used to do a lot of videos where I explain how to do it you guys can see what we do as part of
our trade but this particular Merak material is not for homeowners or beginners even three four
year guys you got to have a certification to use this stuff so I don't know okay I'm going
to do like dirt not this stuff takes another kind of skill to use it so don't use map and
said unless you whether or not a patient okay guys you see how good at this walking over here
application acrylics when we get to that same here another half hour our show final okay guys
we are completed with this project he taking him back around really loud on this screaming
house I just freaked out blowing head building all the cracks there's green stuff here all it
is is we applied a little sick polyurethane caulking some of these superficial cracks
and I used what acrylic product I had in my house I have about 30-40 pails and they're
all different colors I just happened to grab a green it's going to get painted
this week anyhow I'm not going to see that. So there you have it, it's a been cracking here,
and then we call this here this mine back it's stuff that that paint primers, actually can flood.
And thank you, folks, for watching, and well, see you on the next one.
