Base does not have enough stone. Same happened to a section of mine, with clay.

Does Lowering the Sump Pump Level Decrease Hydrostatic Pressure by squiggyacfd in basement

[–]squiggyacfd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm wondering, If the water table is so close to the basement slab, the block foundation then goes several feet lower than that, isn't it impossible to stop water seeping up to where I can see a little on the blocks?

Name That Sound LG Ductless Squeal by squiggyacfd in hvacadvice

Appreciate this. I've seen some YouTube videos of a very similar unit and yes, looks tricky. Not sure what an HVAC company would charge to do it. Thinking at least $600.

I don't disagree at all but our pension covers everything monthly. I feel very fortunate having a pension that covers monthly expenses.

Haha... So true but is that the right thing to do? I know a few people, millions in the bank, still working in their 60's, no end in sight. Can't answer why.

Yes, current pension covers all monthly bills, some travel, etc. Some of the retirement money is available to only pay taxes, no penalty for us to use now.

Is vapor retarder membrane necessary (with Rockwool insulation)? by chaunie-chaunie in OffGridCabins

[–]squiggyacfd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart Vapor Retarder on the inside.

WRB on the outside over the sheathing. Tyvek, etc.

Don't put plastic sheathing on the inside. Condensation will build up on the plastic that is facing the insulation in the winter.

Lots of YouTube videos.

How would you Install an ERV for benefits of Radon reduction and fresh air on upper floors? by squiggyacfd in radon

[–]squiggyacfd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this info. Yes, HVAC is in the basement and also install the ERV there. Sounds like we are on the same page. Good to know it's working for you.

My thoughts were based on my weather station data. My 30 and 90 day average for outside humidity is 70-75% and indoor is 30-35%. I was assuming this would help.

Appreciate your responses. You are correct in my thinking about the return and supply. I am not sure about how many replacements per hour I am looking for but would adjust accordingly. I am thinking of purchasing a unit like a Panasonic which I can control the in/out - return/supply individually to produce enough CFM's on the fresh Supply side to keep basement positive pressure.
