BUILDING IN GHANA: WE HAD TO DAMP PROOF OUR HOUSE! 

Mr Ali you are doing a great job Greetings from MD!

Very educative Mr. Ali

Thanks for the video bro. This has been a huge problem everywhere in Ghana. Gonna link with you later to get his contact.

You need to install a foundation drain. Sometimes called perimeter drain or French drain. These are perforated PVC pipes with holes pointing down that sit a little below the foundation footer. They collect any water that come to the foundation and direct it to the storm drainage or main gutters. Without a foundation drainage water will find it's way through the cold joint of the foundation and then rise up. The cold joint is the interface between the footer, the first mortar and first block work at foundation level. This is where the problem is so foundation drain has been the solution. It is not expensive at all if you know it. Cheers

Great job bro

You've won my heart ❤ i have just subscribed to your channel thanks

Very informative 👏 I learnt something. Damp proofing is very important. I've similar videos on my channel. I've subscribed & will share.

New to your Channel, love your work ethic, FYI. unfortunately cannot hear your Audio much to love,

I dont think this will solve the problem because only sides of block will get to be treated. Meanwhile the dampness of the block happens in all 6 sides. I layed porous pipes in my foundation and connect to an exteral reservoire to collect the underground water. This is the only effective way to deal with the issue.

There are lots of steps and stairs, I hope the house is disabled accessible for family and friends!

As I see it, this treatment only solves the problem on the surface while the dampness in the walls still persists. It's only a matter of time for the rising water to find an escape route. My expectations were that holes would be drilled in the mortar joints at 150mm above ground and 100mm intervals, and the water barrier solution would then be injected to prevent the water from rising. Cheers

I think you need to get them to dig out the side close to your house and level it because you will have the same issues when it rains .

Hi Ali, thank you for sharing. Is the chemical dampproofing better than using the membrane after the foundation?

Could you please share the company used for the damp treatment in your house

Nice work, pls have you experience any dampness after the treatment?

I would love a home in Ghana with an ocean view. May I ask what area is this?

Can I mix those chemicals to mold my foundation blocks, in order to avoid all these problems?

I have questions can this dampness treatment can be done before they plastic the wall so you want have this problem again

Nice job sir. Can you please share with me the contact of the damp proof man.. thanks

I'm not understanding how you ended up with this problem.

Hey brother we met yesterday in Uber Darwin wanted to reach out to you what’s the best way?

Can I get the list of the chemicals used

Does this solution need to be applied inside the house of the building or only outside?

This is just a temporal fix

it has been a year now. did it work please?

How can I get in touch with Mr Alfred ?

How much roughly would a damp proofing cost? Or how much was it for your. I believe you mentioned you say how much but didn’t give a break down of cost

How much are all those chemical?

Good morning...good job done. I need the contact of the company ...MDF Home Touch Services...

Good Day sir, Can i get the contact of Mr. Alfred

Where are you located?

Ali…how can I get hold of your contractor??

A complete waste. I put some nice matching Tile on top of mines. Tiles are very hard...makes good weather proofing....Or you should have just added the new waterproofing material on top... No wasted time in chiseling and loss of money. SMH

Their number please
