It depends on the design of the soakaway. How deep? Is the site water logged or dry land?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Oflaylay: 7:01pm On Jul 25, 2021
depth is 9ft and it is not water logged sir.

Sorry, again it depends on the design. As from 15 length of 12 mm rods. If the design includes beaming, the number will change significantly. If cars will drive over it, this will also affect the number.

How do they rectify a leaking roof after installation? Like two different places are leaking after milano installation. I have been calling the carpenter that handled the roofing, his number is not available and I need to do this asap. Please experience people in the house, what do I do? Thanks in advance.

My current project is on my homestead. I have ALL the wood massaging tools on hand and I still cut at the mill.

Division of labor and concept of familiarity are key with me.

Now my kitchen cabinets will be cut in house for optimum perfection.

Anytime I remember you’ve started practicing in Nigeria, I’m happy. It makes you give a balanced view of the building both as a client / builder and also as a diasporean / Nigerian.

Someone said it is the surface of the nail, that they just need to apply sealant on the nail surface. How true is this please?

For structural integrity, you need to beam ALL soakaway. That's best practice. Very popular for people to cut corners.

I agree with this. I beam all my pits. None of the ones I did so far will be driven over by a vehicle but it makes me sleep well at night.

Buying the materials won’t fix the issue. Someone still need to climb the roof to apply the sealant.

Carpenter can do that for him .

If possible to first enter the ceiling void and check before going to the roof to apply the sealant
