Ben H Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Had one yesterday, and found this in the bathroom.[:-bigeyes How much water do you think is in that duct work? Only bath in the house, so the shower gets used a lot. Click to Enlarge 27.21 KBo the shower gets used a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hmmm, a hot shower and cold A/C or a cold shower and hot air, exhilarating either way. Don't you think?[:-eyebrow Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Funny you should mention that, It reminded me that I've had four different houses in the past year or so where one or more of the the ducts under the house was full of water. In one, the homeowner said that he'd had a pipe burst in an exterior wall under the kitchen sink in 2003, right after he bought the house! The duct for the toe kick heat comes up to that floor and stops right there - the register is secured to the toe-kick and the cavity below that cabinet fills with air before it's forced out of the register - all that water drained into the crawl and a bunch went into the ductwork. He had a guy come in and clean up the kitchen - hell they even replaced the hardwood floors - but nobody ever bothered to check the ducts. Jeez, there was about 50 gallons of water in those ducts. The weight of the water had them sagging and stretched to the max and they were just resting on the floor of the crawlspace full of water for all those years. I can just imagine what that stagnant water must have smelled like when they finally pumped those ducts out and replaced them after six years. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Tim Maxwell Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I had a house yesterday afternoon with water in the duct completely blocking air flow in the master water closet. Nasty inside I bet. You'd think someone would notice that it stays too hot or too cold in these areas without the conditioned air flowing in.....

Jim Baird Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Yeah I've also seen very few of those window units in the shower enclosure. Tends to shorten the life of the window and frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
