    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)

      He is more of a "Hack", he did state that "things" had to be done within 4 years some people call it "C.Y.A." Cover Your "Bottom"
      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 ปีที่แล้ว +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

  • @billz482
    @billz482 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

    What an awesome job you guys did. I am 70 and watching this job reminds me of when I was just about a teenager and my dad and I built our garage. 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.

    The work you and your team did is excellent!

      there is no plastic or poly sheeting on top of the metal decking, very high slump in concrete mix , at least 5 inches, the re- bar should be higher off the metal decking, etc. etc.
      There was a mention of an Engineer being on this job but they should at also be on site before and during the concrete placement, so many items outstanding here, this is why the use of the words CUSTOM HOMES is over valued because of the same lack of SKILL and INSPECTION thats carried out on Track Houses also happens on these BIGGER HOUSES.

    I do a lot of commercial buildings and concrete decking, etc. as an Architect. A lot of parking garages, vehicle service, and do a fair amount of eco-roofs. All have different "waterproofing" types - oils and hydrocarbon related issues, etc. I am into the detailing of these types of structures and most people "balk" at the "extra" measures. But a good contractor and sub generally agree with us. I was getting anxious (Forgive me for not trusting you). 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.

    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!

    I've never seen this kind of floor in residential before only in big commercial buildings and then the rodbusters was doing the flooring.those garage floores look so good hand trould with those drains in them .
    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.
    I like those knuckle trays we never had nothing like that we had to build stands out of two-by-fours

    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.

    One note on this awesome job. When using a corded electric drill, one should always use something to seal where the drill plug meets the extension power line. If that plug pulls out slightly and gets against that rebar or decking, then everyone on that decking could be killed. Yeah yeah yeah…..we used a GFCI outlet. Tell that to the dead laborers’ families. Just an observation and a thought from an old state investigator…..

    It probably would have been cheaper to remove the beams, pour concrete on the dirt floor, and install a custom 3 bay auto storage lift to stack vehicles in the garage. Even if they are not into cars they could store stuff underneath and this would add a ton of resale value.
