So we were called to this home last friday.
The homeowner is a super nice lady. She wanted to remove a load bearing wall.
A friend of friend took on the challenge. Unfortunately, due to lack of knowledge screwed up big time.
A large steel beam was fabricated on site by welding 2 pieces of "L" profile. Then mounted on a 2" by 2" metal column.
This column is not the right size, as it is quite obvious - it is slightly bent.
So, we will need to set up - temp support, on the first floor and the basement.
Another steel column was installed in the basement, on the slab, on loose boards.
We will have our engineer do a site visit for calculation purposes. Once calculations are done, we will execute the proposed solution!
The good news is that the homeowner realized pretty early on, about the lack of knowledge of the person doing the job.
It is always a good idea, to hire experienced contractors. As each situation is pretty unique, you will be much safer with a specialized
contractor of at least 5 years of experience in structural domain.
But no worries, now she is in good hands. We will rectify the situation and will make her home safe again in no time... It is a promise!

Intermittent warm weather started and tons of snow and ice have already started to melt.
It is the time, you need to keep an eye on your basement.
Every so often check behind furniture and stored objects for damp or wet spots.
We have started to receive related calls since last week. As much as I would love to, I can not make it to everyone at once.
After 2-3 days of warm weather, it is perfect for a Infra-Red scan. It will take about an hour to do the whole basement. It is a great investment.
We were wrapping up a job in DDO and suddenly the homeowner asked me to go to the basement to see a leak.
In this case, water had been infiltrating from a window sill on the first floor and it was dripping from he ceiling of the basement.
I did a quick scan, which you can see in the video.
If you have a spot that looks questionable, and you need advice, Don't hesitate to text me a picture to my mobile 514.824.9411

Why should we install only insulated ducts in the attic?
Here is the story.
We are doing a job in DDO.
The bathroom ceiling was a bit wet. Homeowner was under impression, the roof has a leak somewhere.
I went up for a quick visual inspection, expecting an active leak.
But rather noticed an un-insulated duct going horizontally then venting out onto soffits.
I went closer and lifted up the duct and it was very heavy.
It was full of water - in the video, you can hear the water being dumped out.
Serious water damage could and will happen.
So make sure, your ducts are insulated and if you are installing a new bathroom fan, make sure to evacuate using an insulated duct.

After 2 weeks of open plywood surgery - precision demolition, fixing many screw ups of the previous person - we had the pleasure to close up the floor.
In 8 feet length, there is a drop of 1/2" on the floor. So we applied primer on the plywood, prior to pour self-level cement.
Since, we need to re-install floor radiant heater again. We will install Schluter underlayment first, pass the wire through it then we shall tile up!
We like to thank all of our clients for patiently waiting for us to start thier job. As usual, every single job we open up, there is always hidden disaster.

So many problems here..
1. Heating wire installed under the tub
2. Wrong plumbing connection used for the tub
3. No membrane/self lever before tile installation
4. No primer on the plywood
It was just not a good day!

Happy chilli Wednesday!
This is the outcome of a tiled shower base installation gone horribly wrong...
Why ?
1. Lack of knowledge / understanding of these kind of shower systems
2. Lack of installation of corner water proofing bands
3. Installation of a Schluter linear drain but only the pan and half of finishing box content
4. Installation of waterproof base but then securing it with nails, therefore puncturing and causing leak through
5. Installation of tiles on a flexible substrate, causing the grout line to fail and let water into a leaky waterproof base
Conclusion?
You could use the best material available but if you do not follow manufacturer's instructions for a proper install. You will SCREW UP!
So take the time to read, learn and watch plenty of helpful videos available online.

Happy Monday!
We started a new job.
Problems already started.
Laundry room door was installed after washer and dryer were brought to site. The door is so small, the machines can't be moved out.
The homeowners were aware of the situation but had forgotten about it, since the job was done a while back.
We will install a bigger door to allow machines to get in and out with no problem. How would anyone take the machine out to repair???
The floor tiles are barely adhered to the sub-floor. Check out the picture, it came off with no tools...
2 hours in to the job, I already know - it is all done wrong...
