PHOTO CRITIQUE: FOUNDATION MAINTENANCE


It is sometimes shocking how some home owner neglect the maintenance of their foundation. It is without saying that the foundation of a building IS the building. So it is vital to familiarise oneself with the vital rules governing foundations. The first and most important rule is keeping damaging water away from your foundation by all means, even if the building is marine/riverine based; the design concept will excluding damaging water.

Take a look at the photos below: from the first photo, one will notice the gullies that have been created around the foundation of the building. The gullies will store water at the foot of the foundation leading to rising damp. You can see the consequence of this with the rest of the photos. Even after the inner walls have been plastered, the building is still experiencing rising damp. The situation is not helped with the lack of DPC (German Floor).

If the gullies are not maintained long term, the foundation might settle deferentially leading to top to bottom cracks.

No matter what or a contrary opinion, for all projects please do a DPC and subsequently keep water away from your foundation, no holes or gullies around your foundation.
Please, I need clarification based on your comment. if after you have omitted DPC during your foundation for bungalow, and you have reached lintel, how can you remedy the situation if you still have some money to do the DPC, knowing that DPC will not go under the already laid blocks?

I wonder if some people have brains that is really active, and if ever there is something like conscience within? Humans not mere animals, no only in Nigeria enjoy killing fellow humans and expect us to applaud them, or to listen to them. Do they really have brains? What are they trying to achieve or gain? It is really pitiable to have them in this world. God knows best.

Are you telling us that no one can be of help to that baby. The baby is already exposed to unknown dangers outside. Evil is evil.

Heartless people everywhere
God is the creator of all things. So many people pay so much to get pregnant, but still keep trying. These ones throw theirs away without even looking out to those who can confidently take care of those Gods gift to them no minding how it came to pass.
God please help us to realize ourselves in this part of the world. So many things are gradually going out of place.
