Videos like this and the wood stove to heat the house make me think how much I like watching you. I don't own a house, I live in Rio de Janeiro and won't ever need a stove for heating, yet here I am watching you. Just a very enjoyable channel.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Wow thank you! And thanks for watching!

@juhakoskinen2128 Год назад

Love this book! ru-vid.comUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

@johntaylor2489 Год назад

Well done mate. Probably my favourite channel at the moment.

@benjaqsonworkshop9974 Год назад

This is a subject close to my heart! We have A LOT of rain here and keeping damp away from the house walls is a constant task. Really interested to see how you tackle this over time and how you differentiate between ground, rising, penetration and condensation. Great editing of your 'conversation'!

@erictheviking672 Год назад

I like these videos although I like the maker ones too. I've just laid some concrete foundations for a shed. Got a cement mixer and it makes more difference than I thought both in speed and not groaning when I move afterwards! Discovered your podcast too, loved it. Cheers.

@Hastings_Farm Год назад

You are absolutely right about recommending Drybase Liquid Damp Proof Membrane. I have read the reviews of the other products and there are many negative reviews suggesting that they are no up to the job. Really great video with lots of very helpful ideas. Thank you.

@anwolfs9804 Год назад

Seems like a lot of work! GL!

@jeffgoldenberg9579 Год назад

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.

@tomf4547 5 месяцев назад

Wow so glad I found your video. I've just moved and I've inherited dream garage/workshop. 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 😊

@thebeginnersworkshop3094 Год назад

Thanks Keith. Will certainly be using this stuff for my garage walls. Interesting the everbuild states floors and not walls unlike this.

@charleenwright4336 Год назад

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.

@earthcitizen3847 4 месяца назад

Hi, Did you repaint the wall with another colour after applied waterproof membrane or the membrane wont stick with any new colour paint?

@andrewtaylor7377 Год назад

I had a similar issue with keying my painted floor. In the end I found a rotary cup brush worked quickest.

@KGDIY Год назад

Good job Keith! Hopefully will do the trick. Single garages were designed as garages so making them habitable is always tricky. Heat, insulation and ventilation is definitely key!

@blaugrana-jw3dd Год назад

The fact that you checked for mould with your middle finger is too funny

@nathanlucas6465 Год назад

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

@dougsaunders8109 Год назад

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 👍🏻

@ianvicedomini2648 Год назад

Interesting video Keith. I know how it feels fighting damp etc . Great video mate 👍🏽👍🏽

@C4sp3r123 Год назад

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.

@johnd4717 Год назад

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.

@MCsCreations Год назад

Pretty interesting process indeed, Keith! 😃 Too bad about all the sanding belts... But it was definitely worth it! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@MigleschienHysteria Год назад

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

@JohnColgan. Год назад

Hope success on tanking. Idea fthe downpipe outlet. French Drain? Solid channel just below surface with loose gravel . Maybe in a wide. Semi circular pipe to direct it towards fence??

@roscopeco2000 Год назад

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

@tdimccullough Год назад

if there is a fall then why not put a drainage channel with galvanized grate, tight to the wall, which could also carry the water from the downpipe

@robjworkshop5692 Год назад

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 Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@martinr9109 Год назад

For the insulation have you thought about doing it externally? Will costs more obviously but worth a thought? Maybe as well the internal insulated plasterboard?

@tomburton1813 8 месяцев назад

When you say a single skin wall, is that either brick or breeze block? I have the same issue with a single breeze block outhouse attached to the side of the house. Parts of the lower walls are wet and areas of the floor around the corners are wet also. Sounds very similar to what issues you’ve faced here. Thanks for a great video.

@donjohnson24 Год назад

@tagtreegardiner8292 Год назад

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.

@eggycat Год назад

Hey Keith, do you have a video on the fitting of the existing insulated plasterboard? Did you fit a vapour barrier inbetween the board and the wall? Looking to do something similar myself.

If I don't dig serval holes on the bottom of this damp wall and apply damp Injection cream (because it will cost bit more money and time) Can I just clean up the wall and apply water proof membrane instead and repaint the wall after a few hours? Will the damp issue raise up again?

@RFC3514 5 дней назад

Would probably have been simpler / more efficient to remove the floor paint with a) an angle grinder (and either some concrete sanding discs - these are generally black with red backing - or a hard steel brush), b) a heat gun, or c) sodium hydroxide paint stripper.

@oompje Год назад

I'm surprised nobody reacted to your handsignal on 1:52 in the video. It was a sneeky move... :D Nice job, but I guess in the future you'll have to do some work on the outside to keep the moisture out for good. 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.

@PippaMoore 8 месяцев назад

@simonr6793 Год назад

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.

The term “tanking” comes from the idea that by completely sealing a room, a waterproof tank-like barrier is created.

@SteifWood Год назад

Is this the same kind of bitumen membrane used as code sub coat in showers (3-4 coats) and wet rooms (1-2 coats) for propper waterproofing, like the *Mapei Plastimul?*

@DavidOwen1978 Год назад

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.
