Damp survey - Conflicting advice.

[@slashingbison2503]

Honestly never watched someone know damp, plaster and solutions so much after tons of videos with 'professionals' very knowledgeable and concise.

Where abouts in one of the UK's biggest flood plains also known as York is the house

[@Burfordstechstuff]

Not too long at all and very informative. Thanks.

[@samuelpearson-ts6yc]

Thanks for the video! Very helpful to see a diagnosis in action. The historic water escape was quite a critical piece of information in this case.

When was the hall tiled, is the hall a solid floor, or at one time aa suppened floor, is suppened flooring ventalted

[@g.johnson3119]

Excellent video highlighting issues in some detail. I don’t think somehow I would have bought that place. Hope the remedials work out well though👍

[@StephenOverthrow]

Very informative. But what was the end result of the cause and how was it fixed?

[@Financebroz1]

What was the conclusion ? Finished with a waffle 😮.. what was the finding from your investigation ? Did you conclude any findings ? Remedial works ? Has the water escape been addressed ?

[@MrJimtimslim]

Yh didn't really get to the point did he. 'Likely to be' You'd think he was going get the answer and solve the problem. Nope...just more questions for the homeowners

Cavity-walls must NOT be bridged with insulation(insulation touching the outer walls inside the cavity-wall); or else moisture will transmit from the damp outer wall, through the touching bridging insulation, and into the inner wall; making the inner wall damp inside the building. Injecting foam into the cavity-walls stops the property from breathiing: resulting in drastic condensation saturation of the inner-walls inside the property. Cavity-walls that are already built up can NOT have cavity-wall insulation added. Cavity-wall insulation batts(panels) can ONLY be installed from the very start of construction of the cavity-walls. If cavity-wall insulation is to be used, there must be a large air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the outer wall inside the cavity-wall; this includes an air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the cavity-wall tie drip-points(which must point downwards in the centre of the cavity). Cavity-wall insulation batts must touch ONLY the inner-walls inside the cavity-walls (of course touching the cavity-wall-ties and retaining-clips also). Ask City & Guilds N.V.Q. (S.V.Q.) BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this.

Whats the craic with full filled cavities that use say an Earthwool cavity batt?

[@ronnoman61]

I trained as a bricklayer back in the late sixties early seventies, before cavity insulation was a thing. Can remember mid to early eighties when cavity insulation started being used. The draft that circulated inside the cavity was seen as a good thing before then. Just like the asbestos based dampcourse we used to cut with our brick trowels. My own opinion about old houses is that we are asking the structure to do things it wasn't designed to do.

And the remedy is…?

[@Dampcureservices]

If you replaced the typical treatments of the damp proofing industry with traditional lime plasterers, you would a. Preserve our period properties b. Not have damp. In all honesty, a level 2 survey is as much use as asking Roy keene to mot your car.

[@JohnRyan-f2n]

Where is the water coming from ? Thats the bottom line .

[@wayneosullivan1549]

Well then what’s there fault 🤷‍♂️ please tell us 🤔

[@Steelcity321]

Excellent video!

I would love to see the gravimetric results and your recommendations for a plastering system.. I would imagine it’s got to be something sacrificial with adequate drying times

‘Escape of water’😂 Why do you people talk in riddles? You don’t eat a receptacle of compressed bodies of dehydrated maize in an aqueous lactose solution for breakfast, do you?
