Moisture Ingress Through a Concrete Wall 

well.. what was the solution... ??

I love your videos, Mr. Munro! Building science in general fascinates me.

I'm an apprentice electrician and I learn so much from you! Thanks for these vids!

I still find it confounding that you end every video by saying you post weekly. These videos are months apart. Great quality video and very interesting find! I had water bubble out the latex paint one time behind a water pipe leak. Looked very similar to when you poked that one with the moisture meter and water trickled out. I also found it interesting that a lot of points in the concrete block where it looked visibly wet actually registered less moisture on the meter than areas that looked relatively dryer.

What a disaster and a heavy expense coming.

Just needs a blue tarp, good as new

Looks expensive . Good find .

Looks like someone got a new phone ;) hahaha great quality!!!

Down vote for wasting everybody's time and not even saying how the water became an issue in the first place. You just used this video to point out the problem of some random building with no advice/solutions/etc.

I'm not clear how the moisture is getting into the wall. Is it rain hitting the wall or rain entering the block at the top of the wall?

That's an awfully high cb wall with no extra ribbing, no wonder it's settling. Most always a high masonry wall has pilasters at invervals to strengthen it.

Rock on mate...

Did anyone backtrack to see if the builder is still building or if they built similar structures? Someone's life might be at serious risk...like a daycare or hotel...just saying...heroes go beyond what's expected...not neglected!

?????? i wasted my 3 mins where is the solution

What's the average salary for someone beginning in the field?

Hi Mr. Munro, I hope you can help me out. Have recently built a 3 storey comm/res bldg. Its has been raining for 5 days and the walls started to moist.. we have already coated the CHB with skim coat, primer, and 2 layers of semi gloss paint.. do we still need to top it with elastomeric paint?

Hello Tom. I live in a industrial style condo with concrete ceiling and some walls. My ceiling continues to leak small drops depending on the weather. I have a dehumidifier but at times does not control the leaking. Any tips would be so appreciated? Thank you for the content!!!

Hi Tom, do you recommend 6” roof hinges on the sides of a residential new construction? Is that decorated or good preventive addition? Thanks.

I have an air conditioning drain tube (10 inches) coming from the basement through the front brick wall. The ground has been wet where it drains. I noticed that the block wall is wet near the bottom inside the basement. Is it from the outside drainage? Do I need to lengthen the air conditioner drain hose???

Can you suggest a person like you in the Seattle area? I'm scared to death to buy a house up there.

I live in an apartment with concrete wall that has patches in wall above the window and when it rains it leaks water. The builders came in with a moisture reader which read 55% moisture should there be a concern about water inside the wall and mold because i see small black spots have started to appear in the area of the leak

So how do wer fix it???

Overhangs, overhangs, overhangs

I could of been there when they built it to tell them that it will leak lol

Parapet wall flashing or roofing is shot....

Those blisters are so gross!!!! WOW!
