Did This Dampproof Treatment Work On My House? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Building in Ghana 

Oh my god you hit the nail on the head. I have seen so many outdated building techniques on the continent it makes my head spin. And I always hear that's the way it's done here. No if there are modern more advanced ways to do things you are supposed to adopt them.

Glad it’s all coming along ❤

there is a dump proof chemical they use as an additive to the cement mortar mix also to prevent this happening. used in concrete mix and more. there is another that the apply to the foundation walls as a form of paint to prevent it absorbing the moisture and making it rise up. I didn't see any of these done. And it's best to use quary dust not in the mix ratio instead of sand or less sand and not quarter dust. this also deals with the issue

So far so good, Patience! Thanks for sharing this; it will help someone someday

Thanks for sharing Patience, the house looks really nice!

Good luck with everything. Its great that you posted the first video, because now you know what to do when it comes back.

I’ve just subscribed. Like you said, it’s your house, and you did the research. We have to stand strong when these workmen/contractors etc, put you off. It’s not easy, but as you have learnt, if you don’t do it right the first time, you will end up doing it over and over. I am glad you have assessed what you have learnt to do better in the future and looking forward to seeing more of your progress. Even though it has been difficult, you are preserving which is the most important thing. It already looks Tons better. Do what you need to do, to have a stronger foundation that will last longer, and protect your house, which ultimately I am sure, is what you want. Thanks for sharing, 💖

It's coming out nicely good job patience

Sis you have come so far. Truly amazing. You stay strong and positive in your whole journey. I admire your patience.. ( Well it’s your actual name.😅🙏🏽). More strength and power to you. 👑💫🔥❤️

Yes will need all your help to introduce me to this guys

Your house is very beautiful! Sorry you had to go through this. Hopefully, by God’s grace, this treatment will suffice.

Aw shucks! I was really hoping to hear it worked. 😩 Definitely subbing though. Good job so far!

Your home is beautiful! I’m sorry that you had to go through that but The Most High gives us learning opportunities to help others that run into the same situation. You are very blessed to have such a wonderful opportunity to move to Ghana! My whole family is planning on moving there from the states in the next 2 months but I’m just concerned about the buying of land and building process. If you don’t mind me asking about how much did you spend on your land and building your home? How much land did you buy? Many blessings and your continued success in your channel!!

In Uganda we use clay bricks in the foundation plus dump proof membrane, it’s been done for years and it’s standard. Clay bricks also help absorb moisture

There's a reason why some house cost more than 2x for just the foundation. I invested in doing it the proper way using a original DPM and DPC

We have details of a company in Ghana that injects a chemical into the wall that reacts with water and becomes plastic in the brick, which is supposed to block raising damp,we are considering using it in the old house.... will keep you posted.

I am facing the same thing. They build my house without double foundation. And I've got water in the Land
