In this video I apply a damp proof membrane / tanking slurry to a concrete floor to stop moisture coming in to the building where we have issues with mould and mildew forming.

Been painting the floor but not up to the walls because there's rain seeping in around the perimeter in places. My problem is I can't get to most of the outside as the building is too close to the boundary, this is creating a sludge moat effect... I'm ordering that stuff tonight, hopefully I can paint over it and park a car on part of it 😊

Noticed quite a bit of moss/algae on the fence opposite the wall so I suspect you don't get much sunlight in this area, which of course exacerbates the problem. Good on you for tackling this, in any case, since the last thing you need is mold/mildew anywhere on the property.

Good job, Keith! I had a similar problem in my basement. One wall was damp whenever it rained and it caused some mold growth here and there throughout the basement. Four different basement waterproofing companies wanted to dig a trench around the inside perimeter of the basement and install a sump pump. $$$$! But I did NOT have water, just dampness on one wall which never dripped to the floor. Finally I found a company that would waterproof my walls with a product similar to what you used. First I cleaned my walls with a bleach solution and a wire brush to remove the mold. When it was dry the waterproofing company came in and sprayed the solution onto the walls. Only took them a couple hours and a lot less money. Haven't had a problem since. Good luck with your project. I'll keep watching for updates. Love your vids and how enterprising you are.

Have you considered installing Acco drains along the perimeter? You could run the downpipe into them. Acco is a brand but it's what most people call them regardless of brand. Available at builders merchants and the likes of Toolstation. Easy to install and look good.

Hey Keith. Just a thought. If the space under the plastic trim was dry when you took it off it is possible the damp is just cold wall way from the house with no air flow as you had all the racking against the wall. The plaster board will help for sure adding the insolation 👍🏻

very useful vid! I've got a bad damp problem in my workshop, as there is no dpm in the (very thin) concrete floor, and the dpc in the block walls is more or less at ground level! i'm not just getting a bit of mould on the floor though, everything in there is damp to the touch and smells musty, probably not helped by being so close to a river - I suspect that the ground water level is fairly high at this time of the year

@johnd4717 Жыл бұрын

If you're going to put new concrete in anyway, I'd suggest your extend the downpipe under the concrete to a sloping part of your garden and also lower the concrete in front of the house. Maybe in combination with a french drain or something elese that drains quickly.

You have identified the issues, look up a French drain. If you cut that concrete away from wall and put in gravel trench. If you could divert that downpipe away even to otherside of path would help

@MigleschienHysteria Жыл бұрын

I've noticed around where I live that street facing properties that go straight onto pavement have their downpipes go into channels dug into the concrete, kind of like routered lines for a draining board if that makes sense! These are slopped to drain the water away into nearby drains on the road, and the pavement above can remain flat so walking isn't impacted

I was thinking the same, and maybe run across the gate to the gravel strip the opposite side? Takes all the flow then away from the house. Got to do the same with my house this summer (after I've done the flat roof, kitchen, all the skirtings, door architraves,,,,,)

@RandomActsOfMadness Жыл бұрын

Even my 100 year old house has some construction to divert downpipe water away from the foundation. And you live in GB where it rains a lot, and build houses out of wicking materials. Isn’t there a building code to protect the average joe from this type of construction?

@RandomActsOfMadness Жыл бұрын

Standard phrasing from my lokal building code, through Google Translate: The ground around a building must be arranged so that the building cannot be damaged by surface water or soil moisture. The ground should slope away from the building. The slope should be at least 1:20 within a distance of 3 meters. [..] A drainage system consists of: a water-collecting part, which must also protect the building from water, and which consists of draining and capillary-breaking material, for example washed macadam a water-draining part: drainage lines that lead away the water that has accumulated in the draining and capillary-breaking layer. The drainage should be dimensioned so that the diversion of water is at least as large as the maximum inflow to the drainage. To counteract damming in the drainage system, the system's capacity should increase in the flow direction.

I’m pretty sure the concerns over adhesion over painted surfaces is more to do with the damp lifting the paint and then the membrane with it. Rather than the membrane not sticking to the paint.

@simonr6793 Жыл бұрын

Keith why not think about cutting out a channel in your pathway where the downpipe let's the water flow and install a length of ducting, the type that's used outside of a garage. At least this way the water is carried away from the house and onto your soiled area. The channel is cheap I've just purchased 6 x 1meter lengths and only paid £44 for all six. Such an easy install you'd only need to cut out a small area roughly 7 inches deep by around 4 inches wide.

Because as it is now, moisture can and will still get into the walls and slowly creep up the walls and produce mold again at some time.

@DavidOwen1978 Жыл бұрын

When you dig out the channel you could continue around to the nearest drain for your sink waste. Then use black jack bitumen paint to seal the exposed footings to the wall all the way to the drain ensuring you apply it so it gets 150mm above ground level. Then lay sand inside it to create a fall along the channel towards the drain. Then line the channel with waterproof membrane/liner and lay a perforated pipe along the length of the now lined channel to the drain and create a hole for the pipe to poke through the side of the drain. When that is done you can put your gravel into the channel. As your perforated pipe will now always be at the lowest point of the channel along the whole length as it follows the fall, any water getting into the channel will drain immediately. The bitumen protects your wall from moisture and the liner holds excess water should heavy rainfall exceed the rate of drainage in the pipe. Also no need to relocate your downpipe as it will always divert to your drain.
