[@carltonbreezy]

Top marks for this, man. Im in a situation in a customers right now. I found yesterday after knocking off blown plaster that the DPC on the internal block work is 100mm HIGHER than finished floor level. Plus I suspect that the DPC is spanning from block to brick and making a lovely pool in the cavity. I won't go to any so called damp experts who want to fill everything with chemicals so I could, technically lower the DPC using that method? Any replies, even insulting ones are appreciated 👍🏼

[@chrishibberd]

Great video, really interesting to see how this is done. Out of interest, something that I can't quite get my head around is, when the original wall is laid, the bricks are squashing down into the mortar as it dries... so, when putting new mortar in around the new bricks, do you have to really pack the mortar in hard below the original bricks to recreate the level of support that the original brickwork would have had? Hope that makes sense.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Chris Hibberd thanks Chris , glad you enjoy the videos . Yes the new mortar needs parking as tight as you can get it 🧱🧱👍🏽

[@KevinPhillipssb]

Great video and thank you for showing us how to do it. Having never seen this before I was worried that the upper course of bricks would collapse. What's the limit in terms of the number of bricks you can take out in a course before the upper ones come tumbling down. Sorry if this is a stupid question!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Kevin Phillips . Evening Kevin, not a stupid question at all mate . 4 is a safe number unless it’s really old crumbly brickwork . On this occasion it looks like I have undermined the pillar completely but the header at each end is the end of of a full brick which is bonded into the back of the pillar , hope that makes sense ? Thanks for watching and for the question 👍🏼🧱

[@crazybasss1]

Do you need to use slate? I had something similar in an internal wall and the guy used slate to pack it up.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

I use slate if the brickwork above is crumbling or falling . I find that skate just puts a lot of pressure down into the new lintel and can bend it . 🧱👍🏽

[@makestuffwork9205]

Does it matter that the dpc is left contained inside the mortar joint and not obviously over hanging on the outside to indicate an obvious separation? I've never understood how a dpc that you cant see inside a mortar joint isn't being bridged by the outer slither of mortar. Thanks.

[@leestar7156]

Nice job as always. I’ve just purchased a 1960s house and the slate DPC has previously been repointed an it’s almost as if it’s being forced out/ won’t stay in.. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

LEESTAR . You’ve got me stumped on that one sorry 😬. I haven’t come across many houses like that and have never worked on one . Give Rob Songer a try on his channel he may be able to help . Good luck 🤞🏼🧱👍🏽

[@leestar7156]

No problem, thank you for replying. A building surveyor inspected it property and he said to repoint it. Ive noticed a few houses on my estate that are having this issue. I’ve knocked the mortar out and there’s only about 10mm gap to DPC and about a 20mm bed. Maybe it’s the lack of depth as to why it’s not sticking. I’m thinking of maybe PVA the dust ect then obviously use a plasticizer in the mix. Maybe they used a poor mix?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

LEESTAR . Maybe try getting a raking out disc on a 115 mm grinder . They are 6 mm thick so take a lot at a time .Go at least 10 mm deep and before you point hose it down to get rid of every scrap of dust . If it dries keep it damp ( not wet ) . This will stop the mortar going off too fast . Hope that Helps.... good luck 🤞🏼🧱👍🏽

[@davidcoleman6032]

Great video!As an observation, I have never understood why blue engeering bricks aren't used below the damp course as a matter of course (no pun intended),I know that would cost more but as house prices go would not be very significant over all.For me I would rather do it once and forget.I know when you repair as in the video you couldn't use them because they wouldn't match the rest anyway,but if I was having a new home built from scratch then I would do that.Or is it overkill?

Hi guys x great work x I'm impressed x my stepdaughters bricks are worse than urs x her old dpc is only one course from driveway slab x is it possible to put in a new dpc two courses up using the same principle x please help x thank u

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Wayne Gangadeen it’s not really advisable to put a dpc higher as damp can rise above your dpc on the inside skin causing more problems . It’s better to try and dig a channel about 200 mm from the wall and go down 3 courses below the dpc and then put some stone chippings in up to 2 below to help drainage . Hope that makes sense 🧱👍🏽
