2020年9月17日 · The problem is the crush and run - or "crusher run" as I've heard it called - is compact-able - and 57 stone - gravel - naturally is compacted when it's dumped/spread. so you have the chance of settlement under/of the concrete and or cracking of a slab with a compact-able sub-base - unless you are able to fully compact it in lifts - layer by layer. what is …

2021年1月11日 · Hi Mike, To my knowledge, the only gravel considered truly self-compacting is pea gravel. I think you'd be better off running a plate compactor if you don't want to run the risk of settlement and water accumulation at the foundation. When I was in landscape contracting, we compacted every substrate--even those they didn't have the potential problems associated with a slab. But I look forward ...

2015年4月1日 · Timothy, Crusher-run gravel compacts well but does not drain very fast -- at least not as fast as 3/4-inch crushed stone (no fines). Talk to a soils engineer if you are worried -- but in my experience, either crusher-run gravel (compacted) or 3/4-inch crushed stone can be used under footings. So can rigid foam. An engineer may disagree.

2016年4月30日 · Hello, Our general contractor received a wrong kind of gravel for our big driveway install. We have 1500 sf to build and 1/2 of it is a concrete driveway and 1/2 permeable pavers. We have 2/3 of the total rock needed already on site. And that rock is pond pebble instead of limestone gravel that would have properly compacted under the driveway. Supposedly this cannot be returned. What are we to do?

2020年9月8日 · I’d like to be able to run this under an asphalt driveway. Also, I will use this for french drain as well as for general drainage pipe for storm water/gutter runoff. Just a thought… maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to run schedule 40 or 80 under driveway at least, and the triple wall everywhere else, or am I overthinking it?

2024年12月7日 · Hello everyone, we’ve recently done a bunch of HVAC work to address air quality and humidity concerns. We installed a Santa Fe ventilating dehu which is controlled by a Haven […]

Hundreds of gallons of water can be collected for every inch of rain, even from a relatively small roof. When a storm drops heavy rainfall in a short time, the ground can become saturated, causing surface water to run off. This is when channeling gutter discharge well away from the house is most important. Short lengths of drainpipe — or worse, splash blocks below gutter downspouts — can ...

2020年5月18日 · I am an owner builder, we purchased a property with the foundation already in place. The sewer and water are at the lot line. Footing is on compacted crush with bedrock beneath. Looking for help with the process of bringing the services under the footing, complications with undermining? Options to complete this securely? Many thanks!

2024年12月4日 · If I added 2×2 (1.5×1.5) furring strips to the bottom of the rafters running parallel with the rafter (essentially just adding 1.5 to the bottom of possible?)… could I use some liquid nails and screws, or do I need to run them across?

If you value these dividends, invest in high-quality, crush-resistant footing drains of an adequate diameter, and backfill the entire foundation with coarse granular material that drains well. It’s better to run footing drains to daylight than to depend on a sump pump. While that may require more excavation, it’s money well spent.
