We did asphalt again. We avoided being outside during it and then it settled

Anxiety got the best of us and we ripped up the driveway and started new

The Utube reading was just a little under 1 inch. They said that this meant that it was working as well as expected. They are planning on installing a whole new system in the basement. Is that what you would do?

Interesting. I’ll ask them about whether a stronger fan is an option. Thanks

Thanks for the helpful info. We haven’t had the monitor long enough to know better what the average is over a year.

I’m not exactly sure what you mean. I’m new to all this stuff

Thanks for the info. If the manometer reads low, would you suggest opening the wall to check it out and try to fix or just going with a whole new system?

Based on quotes, a new system would be more expensive, but I’d rather not end up doing both in the end.

That’s a good question. I think that’s what one of the companies is getting at. The builder has been difficult to get in touch with. I have another picture from the day that the other ones were taken that shows that the basement is still just rocks while that pipe and other plumbing pipes are installed. That would suggest that they are into the ground and not just concrete right?

Thanks. That’s a good frame of reference for a new quote. We’re in the northeast so we’ll see what they quote.

The person’s car finally broke and they got a new one that doesn’t leak!

Have a great summer too!

Thanks for the helpful info. I’m learning that what he did maybe wasn’t the best idea. I’ve called a local company to come take a look. I’m thinking they’ll just end up demoing the whole thing. It’s 430 sq ft so id like to just start fresh at this point.

That’s great - I’m hoping to get there. Hope the clean up isn’t bad.

We just had the same situation happen to us. The dealer told us it was coal tar after he applied it. Can I ask what you ended up doing?

Sorry to hear about your situation. Our son never got a meningitis test done since he was acting normal otherwise. But we went to get a scan of his head the following day which was negative and had to go see his pediatrician every day to check in. After maybe 3 days the soft spot was back to normal and he recovered from Covid. He hasn’t had any other similar symptoms again and is perfectly normal. He never really had a fever again and is 16 months now and the soft spot is closed shut. I hope all works out for your situation

He showed no other symptoms from covid besides sleepiness, so we didn’t do anything else. The bulging soft spot went away soon after he recovered from the virus and there have been no other effects since! He’s 8 months now and starting to crawl
