I have a ~6 year old house with concrete floors. They're real nice but in the past year I've noticed a lot of new cracks, and every place I see a new crack, I also notice an indentation or change in level of the floor near that spot. I'm pretty sure those changes in level are new. It's kinda freaking me out and making me wonder if it's a foundation issue! What kind of person do I call to come and take a look at this? Flooring person? Foundation person? This is in Austin in case anyone happens to know someone specific to recommend.

Your house is settling. How big are these cracks? Go measure the biggest ones. Width and deflection depth from the highest to lowest points. You might need to lay a ruler flat on the high side to get an idea. Odds are its purely cosmetic. Show us a picture of the absolute worst one. Otherwise, call a foundation company. They will eyeball it. Don't do ANY major renovation based on their eyeballing it - require an engineer's stamped plans to move forward. Get 3 quotes. Your house isn't falling on you.

I've attached a picture of one of the widest ones, it's still pretty small (but runs clear across the kitchen). I've noticed that one widen over time as well. I might call a foundation company just to get a professional's eyes on it in person, but I feel a lot better already, thank you!

brugroffil posted:Any drawbacks to slide-in style ranges? I assume you're referring to slide in vs freestanding ranges. I don't think anyone else read the question that way. Do you have a freestanding range now? The main drawback can be if you don't have a continuous backsplash, you'll have a gap behind the range. I just made this swap (freestanding to slide-in) in my place and now I have a ugly unfinished 4" strip behind my range. I intend to replace the cabinets and countertops in a year or two anyway so this is part of that remodel. The other main difference in electric ranges is having the controls on the front vs the back panel. I prefer the front, and since this is an induction range they're very safe since none of the burners do anything without a pan. So a child can't make it hot by playing and it won't turn on if a houseguest leans against it. It's a lot nicer to control without reaching over the cooking foods in my experience.

I've attached a picture of one of the widest ones, it's still pretty small (but runs clear across the kitchen). I've noticed that one widen over time as well. Put a straight edge on it and see what the elevation change may be. Do you know what kind of soil is predominantly in your area? It could be experiencing expansion or contraction if it's getting moisture or drying up. If you can keep to relatively stable moisture content that can stem the problems. For comparison I have really terrible slabs in Colorado, the cracks are 1-5mm wide and the change in elevation is 2-8cm in 2 meters. So you're not doing too bad! Concrete cracks, that's one of life's guarantees. It shrinks as it cures and builds up tension that cracks unpredictably. Little ones without elevation change are nothing to worry about. The aggregate below is still locked together and will maintain integrity.

Looks fine to me, a professional computer toucher. I would just keep an eye on it over time. Especially elevation changes and seasonality. Buy a long (as tall as you or longer) level from harbor freight to use as your straight edge. Your house is settling and whomever built it should have known that and put appropriate flooring down to hide those hairline cracks.

Johnny Truant posted:Uh what the gently caress, that's a huge height discrepancy?! Hey feel free to come remove the concrete, add a sump system and pour a new slab if you want! I had two foundation companies by to review a wall caving in. One of them took measurements along the first floor of my house and it was surprisingly very flat. Of 12-15 points around the perimeter only two deviated by about a quarter inch. It's just the floating basement slab and garage slab that are wavy. They both peak in the middle.

They will quote you $150k in work regardless of what the problem is, leaving you with an extremely slick novel-sized catalog of their services and an offer to save 20% if you sign off on the work within 48 hours. Call a structural engineer instead.

If you can start fitting a finger in there call an engineer. Don't actually fit your finger in there. It's distressing to see the first one but think about how much the earth deflects when you drive a car on it after it rains. Now put a house on it. I suggest a rug, tile, lvp, hardwood, basically anything. You're going to get 1 of those cracks per room over the next decade.

Is there epoxy flexible enough to tolerate that kind of deflection and/or would it just poison you if you put it inside your house?

Getting ready to repaint an upstairs room with a fairly high ceiling, and I want to give the walls a quick TSP cleaning first. How bad of an idea would it be to apply TSP with a paint roller on a long stick? I figure cover all exposed skin, wear goggles, and roll it slowly and I should be safe? I imagine that I can buy a pad brush with the same type of screw-on handle as a paint roller, but I didn't think of it while I was at the store today and I won't be able to make it back there for a couple of days.

Applying TSP is not the same thing as cleaning. It's function is to loosen dirt. It and the dirt then needs to be wiped/scrubbed off. Rolling it on will just get your walls wet.

Ja one way or another you are wiping the TSP down with rags/old towels You can wrap a towel around the head of a shop broom & use that

I might have time for a hardware store run today after all, if I can't find a screw-on brush like that I'm sure I can find a shop broom. Thanks for the idea!

Ask me about paying a plumber $350 to pull a dildo out of the u-bend of the toilet. before you ask: - it's not mine - it's been there at least two years since i bought the house, in theory.\ - i had no idea it was there and somehow the toilet was still draining well enough to not be noticable until today current theories: - previous owner's wife flushed many tampons and generally had bad toilet etiquette - previous owner did it deliberately to gently caress (hah) me over home ownership is a joy, every day.

I found a penis pump in the basement ceiling in one house I moved into. Found a bunch of 15 year old discarded wine cooler bottles in the basement ceiling in my current house, presumably from the previous owners teenagers. I guess the lesson is people like to hide poo poo in the basement ceiling.
