The best! Best option for me is this one . Simple and lovely. Tiles round the house is odd & on the shelf. We have expensive paints that keeps water away from the walls of the building .

Yeah. I love it's simplicity as well. Pls suggest quality paints specifically made to combat this problem.

Thank you.

Abbeyb1ack:


You already outline reason why some people do it na
Same reason I will like to do it also cos I really fancy it

I think it just base on preference sha
Some don't like it too

Yeah. Preference.

It doesn't slow it down.

It masks it.

Eventually it will show up, but much later.

If you want to stop capillary action install a capillary break or several layers of capillary breaks.

Here is what I am currently doing

I installed a 4-inch-thick gravel bed (next time I plan to make it 6 inches)

Wow. All that for capillary. This is really a big problem. Pls I would like to see some pictures detailing this process. If possible.

Thank you.

We barely used plaster sand. Only sharp and Cement. Will that suffice?

Work is grade by grade. This what a young man did for me recently. He used spacer

Hello bro. Is the work in this picture in Naija?

My last bill was $58 and the only appliance that uses gas is the range. This is a family home with Basement, main floor, upper level and attached garage. I will go solar if i pay as much as you do.

Nero what state are you located that you are paying $58 electric bill? That could only be if you did not run AC at all. I am in NY/NJ area and I pay as much as sonnie10 stated. My cooker, boiler and dryer run on gas while AC, refrigerator, freezer and other appliances run on electricity. I can't remember the last time my electricity bill is under $100 not even in the dead of winter.

I was going to ask the same question but just decided to let it be. $58 electricity bill is too low. The lowest I have paid it like 4 times that amount.

I live in the Chicago area with the same type of cold weather u will find in Canada and when its very cold i still pay like $150 the most. Am not sure what type on insulations and electrical gadgets installed in your homes. It could also be beacuse my house is not up to 10 years old with energy saving appliances or because i make sure my household turn-off what they dont use while at home. See picture below for last paid bill and upcoming bill circle ending soon.

Picture 1 is a cross -section of the final product

Picture 2 shows two marine board cross-sections, the upper one is the 4-inch-thick concrete footing that was laid on top of a damp proof membrane, the lower marine board is supporting a 4-inch-thick layer of gravel that rests on compacted laterite

Pictures 3 and 4 show part of the preparatory works before the pour.

Will detail the full process and the thinking behind it here subsequently

Here is the science behind why unlike the customary practice, I cannot allow compacted laterite to make direct contact with my concrete floor or concrete masonry unit (CMU) but introduced gravel in the remedial works that I am doing.

That is a very perfect capillary break.

4 inches is good, 6 inches is even better.

In effect then, decisions taken at either the building or designing stage can mitigate capillary action.

It’s very expensive sir. You can screed the walls of the building with black cement plus water proof cement. It helps keep the wall dry

Contractors ...how una dey cope.... Material cost is out of this world... kilode..?

Plenty Fluctuation Claims this season

Seriously.
Constant communication that's what I do with my clients, after submitting a quotation, to alert them on price change for the quote, immediately i get paid, Am on my own! So I buy all materials down in advance & excess.

Only God can help us, brother.

The best! Best option for me is this one . Simple and lovely. Tiles round the house is odd & on the shelf. We have expensive paints that keeps water away from the walls of the building .

Paint cannot keep out capillary action of water.

Paint can only keep out water splash back. And stop water ingress from the sides. It won't stop capillary.
