How To Seal Gap At Bottom Of Garage Door.  

Unfortunately the foam does not make it bug or mouse proof. I would suggest filling in any void larger than your finger tip with steel wool before adding the foam to keep mice out.

Cool repair but just didn’t feel the foam in the tube. It’s going to be a hassle to pull the lines out if they needed to be replaced 😢

Use sealing clay, its dirt cheap, its waterproof, it doesn't harden and its what most utility companies use when they have to bring pipes into buildings.

When I see the foam, I’m in the zone

I would not be happy if someone i hired put something like that as a permanent solution

That’s not a gap, that rivals the Grand Canyon!

Never fill feed points with foam fml. If they want it sealed, just use a small amount of silicone with some steel wool inside

To make it mouse proof put steel wool in with the foam. Steel wool prevents mice chewing through

Lol canned foam have no place on conduits/cables. Use silicon on other non flammable sealant.

Bro I used that expansion foam for the first time recently, didn't use gloves and it is a mistake I'll never make again.

Bro is this a joke? 😂

When I see the foam. I’m in my zone. And you just saved yourself 150 bucks. -FZ150.

I always wonder when you seal up places with cords coming in/out like that with stuff like expanding foam. What happens when you need to replace or add/remove cables?

Should’ve bondo’d it for the lols.

Foam is a sponge.

So THAT was the finished product? Just stacked up expansion joint with spray foam? 😂

Client just wasted 150 bucksssss he sprayed the foam but wasn’t in the zone, mice will chew through that pathetic filler in no time

Warning: expanding foams expands upon immediate use.

What's up! How do you fix creaking in Laminate wood floor. Would appreciate the help.

As a cable tech seeing the feed into the house from the outside housebox filled in killed me becuase need other wires added it'll either be a pain to clear that foam out or drill a new hole

Bug proof, yes. Mouse or rat proof..no. I’ve seen mice gnar their way to upper condos THROUGH the wood, and THROUGH the linoleum. Mice…not rats. Rats could chew through surfaces even quicker. That expansion foam would not keep a single rodent out. You need to use either steel wool, or a steel mesh screen and seal it on the borders with industrial adhesive caulking. Then you can spray it in with insulating spray foam. Spray foam and good caulking can prevent bugs. You need more to prevent rodents though.

Here's a solution: build right the first time. Crazy, right?

Good job 👍

Lol. Welcome back to my feed!

Is that Phelan / Oak Hills / Hesperia area I see?

Paint the foam on the pipe grey ty sir

Right before the foam hardens you can wipe it smooth, though you'll need to practice b/c it can mash too much of the expansion.

Gloves for sure. 😎☘️👑

Im just shocked it wasnt blue tape and 3 tubes of caulking lol.

Good idea on the gap filler. However, I would have covered the filler with metal flashing held in place with construction adhesive. Foam is not a long term fix. It will degrade to powder within a matter of years. Flashing and construction adhesive will last a lifetime.

Man i love your work ! I’ve been fixing so many things like teach me !

When you see the foam your in the zone

That def looks like colorado builders

WHAT material is the expansion material? Please explain.

When you see the foam your in the zone.

That brown insulation is going disintegrate after a couple rains

I used a can of this stuff on a small hole in my wall A CAN it looked like a comforter coming off my wall

Shouldn't those cables be in liquid tight?

there needs to be steel wool of some sort, then foam over that, mice will dull there teeth out, they can chew through anything, as a plumber i find big holes in pipes all day

Yeah no worries as long as im getting paid.

Were those three pieces of board secured to anything?

Foam does not help with rats or mice they will chew right threw it as well as your material you used as expansion filler they will Chew right threw there 😂

Boom

Fantastic. Thanks for the tips!

Why is that huge gap allowed to be there. Like why?

No caulk?

Im pretty sure mice can chew through that like nothing nice sponsored video

It will look like crap in 6 months to a year from now.

I use steel wool and this stuff

Be sure to fill all the holes with that white stuff.

Foam on exterior will yellow, become brittle, and decay in sunlight. Wrong product. 😂

Steal wool and diversi gum my guy:

I’d have used abit of cement in that gap, insects and rodents will get through the foam

You’re never guna lose any customers with your “can do” attitude! Love your videos Brother! Boom!

You: "dont add too much" Also you: fills hole up entirely until its overflowing Great

The foam is money but tape and do a cleaner job.

Is this waterproof

Who do u call for this type of work, a maintenance guy?

Mice gobble up foam like candy btw they aren't interested in steel wool or clay

That's not gonna stop mouse

That will not work because rats and mice will chew right througfh it. So if you think you are sealing up the gap you couldnt be more wrong. Mice will check through that real easy.

Mice will just eat thru that if they want to enter the garage

That that

That’s not a gap that’s a failure

Someone paid you to do that?

This guy fills every gap with caulking or foam I feel sorry for his woman

he asked you to what?

You got to put steel wool like brillo to put in hole also it stops mice from chewing thru

Hack work

If you add too much foam and it expands it will lift that side of the house up and make it crooked, happened to a buddy of mine

They also make a product that they sell at Home Depot comes in a green can it’s called great stuff pest seal or something like that it’s gray when it comes out of the can for spots near electrical I would suggest great stuff fire block. Also, for those really big gaps you can get great stuff. Big gap filler seals up to 3 inch holes. I work in commercial construction and this is what we use.

Jesus man, do you even know what you are doing?

How about fix it right? Lmao Pshhhh!!

Jalapeño needs to stick to what he knows… making videos. Not handy work

No

You're a skilled handyman who does quality work bro! I appreciate your videos!

How about dry pack for the opening.

Just no

Do it right 😂😂

Expanding foam reacts with the insulation of electrical cables also
