John Dirks Jr Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I squeezed through the 12 inch high access panel and into the crawl. Once in the clearance was about 18 inches so not that bad. I hear this hissing noise and see some moisture in the floor.

Scottpat Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Was this a house that the water was turned on for the inspection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 There's a geezer in every crawl space I enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence McCann Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 There's a geezer in every crawl space I enter. If you pay the entry fee they're typically good for a few hours of Uno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Was this a house that the water was turned on for the inspection? No. There was also wet ceiling drywall above a bathroom sink. It would have taken longer for the material to get saturated like it was. The owner was there and cut the drywall open on the spot and found a nail had been driven through the CPVC distribution line in recent renovations. It's a shame for these things because this was one of the nicest little houses I've been in lately. In addition, I accidentally bumped a 2" PVC drain line with my elbow while in the crawl and heard a cracking noise. The fitting came apart. I know that properly glued PCV parts do not come apart like that. Click to Enlarge 18.24 KB BTW, I never turn on main water supplies if thats what you're getting at.

Denray Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yea but...I bet you still think young. Just give me hope and say you do.

Erby Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 C'mon Denny. It ain't that hard to fall off a cliff into the river! Even real old men could do it. [:-monkeyd[:-monkeyd[:-monkeyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denray Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yeah, but we were able to get out. The 15yr olds were too chicken to try. Click to Enlarge 100.13 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denray Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 That's my succesful contractor friend doing a swan dive. I had been jumping in feet first cause I no likey head first, then he pulls that off. So I conjured up a gainer that was pretty good, so I quit diving after that. No girlie screams, this time.
