So there's a vent right under your floor, with little to no insulation to your floor with HOT AND COLD water lines running across it... America never fails to amaze me.
Too late now, but I might have thought about putting some 1-2" styrofoam insulation inside that air intake along the floor to maybe help your kitchen floor not have a cold spot.
It looks like that duct matches the joist bay dimensions exactly... because why not? What knucklehead did that I wonder? Edit: actually on closer review it looks like the "duct" is just the joist bay with sheet metal on the bottom...
@@charliemccloskey8358 Basically everything. Houses in Norway are tougher, they never blow away, the dont rott in at least 40 years and they are better insulater, to handle the extreme cold. And the plumbing will never leak. It is a system called "Rør-i-Rør", if there's ever a leak, the water will just run out to a drain, and not inside thd wall.
Careful running pipes that close to ceiling. They could be easily punctured by drywall screws. They make nail plates when pipes and wires are close to walls.
@@ipant1056 this things are like thing they regulate so they dont happen. Even when the chances are .00001% of you puting a scre trought that specific part
For someone living in a colder climate, cutting corners on a remodel like this is absolutely ridiculous. About a foot's length of pipe in my parents house runs uninsulated but behind a thick leca block wall, and that freezes at very low temperatures (~0 F), and that was considered a big mistake here.
Good thing it's PEX, that made your job a lot easier. Kind of crazy that they'd drill right through an air intake like that though. Normally high efficiency heaters use PVC pipes for air intakes and exhaust. I've also never seen a finished basement insulated from the rest of the house. Unless it's one heated from a separate heating system like a radiant floor heater.
You didn't need to use that fancy drill, just some No More Nails adhesive as the patch is not structural. Jerry also didn't mix and thin the mud, never use ready mix mud direct from the bucket except to pre-fill panel gaps.
As a general contractor watching this is hilarious You did an ok job. I don’t know the codes in your area but be careful when it comes time to resell your house. Since you showed us how you did your “magic trick” repair plumbing job.

Hot tip, when turning your water on, do it even slower than you are. It prevents a sudden rush of pressure, which is bad for the fixtures, and usually whatever faucet is closest to the valve takes a real pounding and can ruin it.
Those clamps work really good. They are what I used in my house when I built it. What I did was ran all of my pipes in the attic and there’s no brakes in the pipe only a beginning and a end. No leaks.
Have you considered converting to a higher efficiency furnace and just sealing off the envelope of the home? Not only is it easier for the furnace in terms of rust but it spares you the wet filters if it rains and you have it on.
If it was a solid run of steel pipe for the gas line through there, I wouldn’t be concerned. But that last view into the duct showed a few CSST fittings inside the duct…that’s a HUGE no-no. Absolutely NO gas connections should be made inside ductwork of any kind.
As a contractor, this pained me. I really hate textured ceilings. And also more than improper plumbing. Jk. Thats worse. But no. Take down the entire ceiling and make it smooth. Please
It would honestly be better if he just put in drop ceilings in the basement, I would save quite a bit of time when trying to fixing plumbing leaks and any other issues that may pop up over the years. Also as someone familiar with plumbing this is just a homeowner fix, normally you would run a copper pipe to the sink but that takes time to put together and requires the experience of sodering aswell. Everything he did is a temporary fix.
@@XAssassin_22 true story. When I bought my house it had the 70's 12"x12" fiberboard tiles with 1/4" plywood as a backing. I took it all down pretty much when I moved in, one because I hated it. Two because I had to do a complete rewire. Installed a drop ceiling because of this sort of thing. Easier to replace a tile or two, than patch a drywall ceiling.
The worst is that there is no actual duct. There should be a proper insulated duct for the intake. If that was done, he wouldn't have to do such a sketchy reroute.
Not saying it meets code, but if you're trying to hang something from your ceiling, you probably shouldn't just stab your drywall blindly? I'd be searching for a joist so I don't have to worry about the hook pulling out of the drywall!
You could have detected the metal studs using a magnet, then cut the drywall square with a multitool. You would have had a drywall "door" that you could have just took off, and then put it in again, with only minor repairs to the mud.
This is incorrect. The drywall would be screwed to the studs in many places for that big of a hole. no way you are getting it out without damaging it since you'd have to tear it off the screws to remove it
we have a seasonal cottage that was once all copper line. when it wasn't drained properly in the fall, we always had burst copper lines in the spring when we opened it up for the season. Replaced everything with pex and never had an issue. It will freeze, but expands enough to not burst.
You can get a 90deg tool that can be use for tight access areas, it has 10mm chuck so you can drill, drive, sand etc That design you have fails at speed and has limit torque so be careful , thanks for the video from Wales 🏴 in the Uk
That duct should be insulated anyway...what kind of crappy codes do they have there? Also it is worse having that gas line in there...so now if you get a leak there, it will fill that area, go right into your furnace, then kaboom.
I think he is in Utah a historically conservative state where NO BIG GOBMENT tells us how to do stuff. Same where I live basically no codes or inspections. I did a big remodel and the only permits/inspections my builder had needed were for a culvert and septic. Of course he half-assed some things I'm still dealing with. Not saying it can't go too far, but generally basic regulation is a good thing as business will do the bare-ass minimum.
yes the ice expands about 9% in volume, howeverits not the ice that breaks the pipe, its the pressure the ice creates that blows the pipe, which is why water blows out at the pressure it does and in the area ahead of where the pipe froze. open up your taps will allow that pressure out but your pipes may still freeze in the right condition, however usually the flow will be enough to prevent ice from completely freezing under normal weather conditions. Im actually repairing my blown pipes right now after a week of sub -40 weather with windchill reaching the mid fifties minus c.
The air intake should draw from inside the house because when the furnace turns on and the vent outside it draws really cold air and the furnace works hard to heat it and it the vent intake was inside it only has to heat the air 1 to 2 degrees and the same with summer just flip it around. Also the outside vent is a good way for bugs to get in and dust
Primer before the texture! it helps it dry uniformly so you don't see the joint lines. Also you should have wrapped the cold line in contact with that metal duct. It might not be affected at 32, but it still might at 10.
For future reference you can use a nap paint roller to get that same texture in your mud. Just dip the roller into the mud (preferably a large 5 gallon bucket) and spread it on. Works a lot faster. Then you could knock it down as needed to match your ceiling.
I know I'm late to the party but you might want to consider putting metal to block nails & screws from hitting the pipes. I'm not a plumber so I don't know code for that but I have watched a few remodel TV shows & if waterpipes are close enough to worry about screws or nails you put some metal in to protect it.
If you have frozen pipes again, they sell pipe insulation wrap that you can plug into an outlet and it turns on when it detects a temp below freezing and it keeps the pipe just warm enough to the water inside doesn't freeze.

I'm not sure if this is the same in US-houses, but where I live this wrap between the wood and the free space, where you put the pink stuff in, should be airtight. so the condensation stays outside the wood and will not rotten long term.
Such beautiful house! In Turkey we usually live in apartments which hosts dozens of people under same roof. And there is a very very big noise pollution problem which we can't solve.
natural gas is still liquid when it's under pressure - and as such, it can freeze... maybe not at 32F, (propane freezes @ -42F) but insulating that length of pipe would've been a good idea... although your PEX pipes aren't directly in the cold air, the duct itself can conduct cold air to anything touching it (in your case, your pipes)...
Quick suggestion , for a added freeze protection, at the area inside of the ductwork now above the lines. How about lining that area with a foam kitchen floor mat . Pre-cut and Pre-sprayed with 3m adhesive. Put it above your pipes like a sticker inside of your vent. Application is probably going to go down like putting a pizza in a oven with a or. Boom I just G.R your fix....
Zack your lever valve for the water shutoff for your house should be plumbed in so that if the lever falls it should fall in the off position, good for safety.
I'm not quite sure why you have that fresh air intake. If your house has been upgraded to a high-efficiency furnace and a high efficiency hot water heater. You really don't need that much fresh air coming in anymore. I would consider getting a air exchanger and installing that through the existing hole so that you have better air Exchange with more control. If nothing else I would at least put in a controlled damper

Why would a house have an intake from the outside like that? Is it just combustion air or something
Probably air to ventilate the building, every building needs some sort of fresh air in it. But this looks like its really outdated.
It is likely combustion air. He says it isn't to code and it was a quick fix. Would have been much better to just get it to code.
That mesh tape also acts like a skeleton to so the mud doesn’t crack that the joints
Such beautiful house! In Turkey we usually live in apartments which hosts dozens of people under same roof. And there is a very very big noise pollution problem which we can't solve.
Wow I can't believe they just drilled holes through all that venting -- gas line included. Incredible.
That isn't a proper, to code vent. I can't believe they tried to pretend a typical joist space could be used as a combustion air intake.
natural gas is still liquid when it's under pressure - and as such, it can freeze... maybe not at 32F, (propane freezes @ -42F) but insulating that length of pipe would've been a good idea... although your PEX pipes aren't directly in the cold air, the duct itself can conduct cold air to anything touching it (in your case, your pipes)...

Residential Hvac code allows you to put pipes through duct work BUT you need to insulate them VERY well to keep this thing from happening
