Water In Floor Vents Slab

I ran a french drain years ago.

Water in floor vents slab. If you can see the numbers on the gauges in the photo the water going out is about 100 degrees and the water coming back is about 80 degrees. If it s rainy or snow is melting my heating vents in the floor fill with water. We checked the water meter and there is no water leak in the plumbing system. What should i do if i see water in my central heating cooling floor air delivery vents.

You can place pieces of sod over the gravel. I am interested in filling and sealing off all of the ducts in the slab an using only. One was 5700 the other was 4500. The other one said they only fill the actual vents.

My house is on a slab so there s no basement or crawl space. There is water in the air intake vent that is several feet below the slab and is filling with water. I m looking for feedback on others who have run into the issue of in slab ductwork that s getting water in it from the ground around the house presumably from the water table rising after it rains snow melts. You place a 1 or 2 inch layer of washed 1 inch diameter gravel in the bottom of the trench and then place a 4 inch diameter perforated pipe in the trench.

Was wondering if putting cenemt trough the entire house was necessary and if i need to get additional. After a couple of days of the water being there it gets mildewy inside and extremely humid. Fill the trench with more 1 inch washed gravel until you are within 1 or 2 inches of the top of the trench. A pump kicks on and water runs from the water heater and into the floors.

I had water in my floor vents after a heavy rain last summer. Because an air duct routed through a floor slab is more likely to contain moisture from condensation or water from leaks or floods that moisture combined with normal organic dust and debris found in ductwork can increase the chances of mold contamination in slab ductwork. Have gotten to estimates on running ducts through ceiling. Any moisture in your floor boots indicates that water is or has been under the floor slab.

First for some people this can trigger or aggravate allergic reactions which can vary from mild to severe. Our 1968 home in md has had water in the floor vents on and off for 20 yrs. Any suggestions are appreciated. I m not even sure who to call about this.

Hello i m new to this forum and i was unable to reply to some of the other posts on this similar subject. There are companies that can use thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint hot spots in the floor where a duct might be broken allowing you to cut into the slab at that point and make a repair. The 5700 said they would pour cement through all the floor ducts throughout the house.
