Our new website is still under construction (pun intended), but we just had to let you see what’s new under the roof (another pun intended, but we won’t do it again).
First of all, we are building an enormous database of all of our Frequently Asked Questions so you can easily search for answers to the household problems plaguing you most.
Secondly, we are adding a user forum where you can connect with other fans (both of them) of our show.
Third, we will have an EXTENSIVE database of contractors that you can find in your area for any project from house cleaning to complete remodeling.
Finally, we are adding AVARM, where we will have artificial intelligence to serve you when we’re off the air! Ask our virtual counterparts anything you want, and.. well… we’ll see how they answer.
Be sure to click on our live link on the homepage to listen to our podcasts every week!

First GOD BLESS and congrats on your new show.
My name is Andrew Lloyd owner of Andrews flooring and design. I was the person that called in to your show on Saturday morning and commented on the ,”Ardex”, patch for concrete.
I would be very very interested in becoming a preferred contractor on your list of companies you recommend.
I have been calling in and interacting w/ Truth broadcasting for years. I worked with stu efferson on his home they built four years ago. Please contact me and check out my website’s about page. May GOD BLESS your business and your show.
For some reason, parts of my brown brick have a “whiteish” color to them. What can I do to remove the white and make them back to the original color?
Thank you,
Tina
Hi Tina,
The whitewash you are referring to is called efflorescence. Efflorescence is the residue that is left behind after water is removed. The residue is mostly salt-based and harmless. Different types occur in the construction industry, including concrete, brick, and masonry. In new construction this usually will stop after the masonry dries out completely from the water used to make the mortar. If the efflorescence shows up well after construction is complete then moisture is coming thru the face surface or another entry point. The moisture must be stopped by way of a sealer top coat. If the moisture is coming from other than the face of the masonry you may need flashing, caulk, or some other type of repair. Be sure to get this checked out by a licensed general contractor to head off any worse or hidden problems behind the masonry.
The masonry needs to be brushed with a wire brush, pressure washed, or cleaned with acid. Then a masonry sealer needs to be applied. There are several available on the market, be sure to tell the sales person what you are trying to achieve. Need home improvement help? questions@askjohnanddave.com
