Shingle warranties are a scam. The crap that is coming out of shingle factories is head-shaking, especially contractor-grade. More than ever, "you get what you pay for," regardless of the guarantee.
Don't worry Mark, The shingles in question are no longer produced. They were an organic mat (felt) style shingle manufactured in the 90's, early 2000's instead of fiberglass backed like they all are today. My house, car port and shed are all in certainteed landmark dimensional shingles. Weatherwood for the color.As much as I would love the Andy LakeLiving show you have made me nervous as I just had 3 houses roofed with CertainTeed shingles in 2014.
Anyone have a recommendation on a good sump pump? Mine is starting to make funky noises and I need to replace it. I'm looking at a Wayne 1 hp.
Thanks guys! I have a water powered back up, and one in another part of the house that is water powered (deeper). Do not ask my why... but the moron that built the house ran my garage floor drain into the main sump instead of the storm sewer drain, and I have a sunken porch that he ran to the same pump. So needless to say when it rains the thing runs constantly. One of those things you don't think about until you start digging deeper.
Take it easy on the builder. I know that the code in MD. will not allow any sub surface or surface water into public sewer systems.Heck, I've been fighting with one county government agency about introducing furnace condensation to the public system. As far as your garage drain,if your house was in MD., It would also require a grease trap before being routed where ever. OVER REACH OF GOVERNMENT!
Bob, we sell materials to Md. builders. What's the builders (home buyers) estimated average financial impact due to the water management regulations? I've heard numbers ranging from $10-$40K depending on size of house/lot.
After I found it I contacted the city. They would have approved it being tapped into the the storm sewer line that runs right next to my house out into the wetlands behind my house. If it becomes a nuscance I'm going to have it ripped out of the garage floor and done right. As for the sunken patio... same thing. I know the city would approve because I had 10" tile line ran out back the length of the house to keep all eavestrough AND sump pump water away from the pool. It was tapped right into the storm sewer. Only stipulation is I cannot drain or back flush the pool into it, it has to go through the city sewage treatment plant. Believe me, it could and should have been done differently. Right now I'm siting timing my sump pump. It's running every 3 minutes.
Damn, I should move to Iowa.They are much easier on the regs.Just look at the previous post.All kidding aside, I couldn't move. We need the ocean and the bay. Every 3min.you must have high ground water and clay soils.Good luck with your situation.
