WEEP VENTS & CAVITY TRAYS EXPLAINED!! Ft Minecraft

[@steveroberts728]

Thank you so much for this explanation. I’ve always wondered what you meant by “fake weep vents” and now I understand. I no longer feel like a “tuna melt”.

[@newhomequalitycontrol]

Thank you very much 😊

Yeah same.

[@Rupis94]

Please do more of this, it can seem silly for people to see it in Minecraft... But it's an easy quick way to build something showing very clear explanations. Any person looking to buy a house should have this knowledge. We got our first house and the inspection showed nothing. The roof was not inspected, and had leaking verges. Bathroom that had to be ripped out due to water leaking and black mold.... You only find these things when it's too late. So bringing awareness is great.

[@lewischatburn7899]

but your wrong mate. scale matters

[@Rupis94]

@@lewischatburn7899 I guess I am in an imaginary world where I said scale doesn't matter....?

[@lewischatburn7899]

you dont think scale seems to matter when it comes to giving a picture of whats going on. also he demonstrates water ingress in a roofless house. hows about showing us how it properly functions. this person makes it look like if the roof was sealed then the cavatity tray wouldnt be needed. thats why its a poor explination @@Rupis94

[@hush3956]

I'm sorry to hear about the problems you had mate, hope your house is running well now and your pockets aren't too dry

[@v8mooowder354]

Years back I was working on a thatched property, I also live in one. They had just purchased it and the house had been inspected before purchase. Not much to discuss except I thought to myself, christ the thatch is a mess, but none of my business to comment on at the time. Went back for another job a few weeks later sealing up an old well. I asked how things were going and they said not that great as they need £40k for a full re-thatch. I mentioned the inspection and nope, no mention of it. Great inspector.

[@TheLeagueOfTasteAndClassCorp]

As someone who just casually came across your Shorts here on YT (and someone who hasn't the first clue about housebuilding, so much so that I actually thought you were saying weave vents before), this was one of the most informative videos you could have done to explain what *weep* vents are. Thank you

Orlando that was a fantastic explanation of cavity tray and weep vents. Great work. Could you also do one for air vents at ground level that the Tuna melts keep covering up?

[@realDonaldTrump420]

The dimensions aren't to scale

[@getsomegloves95]

They allow air through both skins and into where there is a suspended floor to vent the space under the floor.

Never worked in construction, but seen your shorts a few times and found them interesting. I roughly figured out what weep vents are for from context, but this was a really good explanation!

Purely from the perspective of appreciating a good bit of L&D, this was a fantastic piece that has been very well executed! It takes real skill to be able to facilitate that volume of understanding increase in such a short amount of time, so bloody good work!

[@Liverpool1ne]

Orlando how do cavity trays work when you have cavity wall insulation retro-fitted? And should you assume wherever there is a weep vent there is a tray i.e. it’s standard practice to fit a cavity tray above every window and door / opening? Thanks

What an awesome way of explaining something I didn't know that I didn't know, and that I don't need to know (I have no connection to the building trade, apart from living in a house). I watched to the end because it was so brilliantly explained for a dummy like me. Love your videos. If I ever buy a new build (unlikely) I'd be privileged to have you inspect it.

Lintle sits on he brickwork and block work. Then the damp sits on the lintle and forms a tray..every 450mm should have a weep hole..eg every 2 bricks..

When the fake cut down weep vents are found, do you have a method to check the collection tray is actually installed as well? Ones seems redundant without the other in the explanation 🤔

[@tamesidepaintingltd9113]

Love it ❤

[@jonp6798]

It’d be good if you could explain why weep holes started becoming a thing for new builds so it can be used to explain to folk why weep holes started being used in cavities when they were fine before with smaller cavities, that sort of thing. The bricklayers think they’re pointless and say “I’ve never seen water coming out a cavity like a drainpipe” as if that’s a reasonable argument haha.

[@ncey8713]

Could you explain why? Genuine question.. I thought cavities were supposed to be ventilated into the roof space

That's great but can it withstand a creeper explosion?

@@newhomequalitycontrol I thought my new build was bad when I bought it. Mine hasn’t got a patch on some of the ones that you look at sweet Jesus Christ. In a block of apartments, the plumbers didn’t even bother solvent seal in the soil stacks in bathrooms. Imagine bath water, toilet, sewerage and shower water leaking out into the bathroom. And to top it off the waste pipe connecting to the soil stack was going uphill. 😂 turds don’t go uphill 😂

[@taksdd]

Hey this all makes sense.. but how does water get into the cavity in first place? Is the outer brickwork not water proof?

[@techheck3358]

cracks in the brick, condensation. its also possible for water to seep through bricks (they arent entirely waterproof)

[@grahamparsons3406]

The inner and outer walls of our long row of semi-detached houses were replaced about 20 years ago due to rotted ties. Our walls, and those of our attached neighbour's walls, have "vents" (missing mortar between adjoining bricks) 4 courses above the top of the downstairs windows, spaced every 4 bricks around the entire exterior wall. They are also in the course directly above the upstairs windows, also spaced every 4 bricks. But the semi-detached houses either side of our do not have any at all, and would have been rebuilt during the same period. I questioned this, and was told it was "down to the brikkie doing the job".

[@danielwhalley8528]

love how you used minecraft 😂👌good effort 👍 sure the yeeehaaa cowboys will understand now 👍

[@DeusEversor]

I always wondered, erent two thin walls weaker than one doublethic? In Poland, we build normal thick wall and then insulation on the outside covered with plaster. water can leave at the bottom of insulation, because it ends overhanging above ground (usually 1 or 2 foot or 30-50cm), while moisture leave at the top under the roof.

[@donnakawana]

That was bloody brilliant mate..Im wee bit ole school an don't Roblox😂...me grans do tho....just brilliant mate!!

[@Mace1302]

I've hated fake Weep vents for a while now, but I've never really known why😂 now i know. So thanks.

[@Sawta]

Great explanation! I'd be interested to know - when people do install fake weep vents, is there some kind of a fine for that? Surely they know what they're doing is wrong and that if it isn't caught, the owners home will be severely damaged at some point, right? I would hope that they get some form of severe punishment for trying to fake something that could cause a massive amount of water-related damage.

I dont get the point of faking them though! Like if you're going to drill a hole halfway through the brick and stick a tube in it, how much harder is it to drill it a bit deeper? Or is there more to it than that?

[@PandazAimee88]

You would have had a field day inspecting our last home. It was a council place, but 3 years of reporting water marked walls, and being told its condesation (it wasnt) the few spells of -7 last winter (previous 2 winters had been mild) finally was the last nail in the coffin. The whole bathroom ceiling came down, 1/2 of the kitchen ceiling below came down. Parts of my daughters room and the lounge came down. The external brickwork around the back door and kitchen window could be pulled out with 0 resistance. The frame and seal round the bathroom window came away and if the rain came at a certain way it would rain on you! The loft insulation was mouldy as rotten. And sooooooooooo much more. Worst thing is, a "surveyor" from the housing association we rent from, came out the day before all this happened and his exact words were it's absolutely fine, nothing to worry about. Just condensation. It wasn't condensation 😆 but yea, I'd have loved for you guys to have looked it over 😆
