Good evening house, I saw this type of soakway today. I was told it is the latest in town.
How reliable is this and won't it collapse later in future?

Local/ old cesspool system or pit

KolaShangOne:
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.

Well said, I just laughed when people said painting and tiling will stop RISING dampness in a building.

How many went into that house or how many will go into a normal bungalow sitting on a 100 by 50 plot

Beautiful work by the way. Hoping to reach you soon

About 5m then
Now something 8-10m will do it

GorillaApp:
Beautiful job bro. Poverty is a basterd! See the way that old house turn modern at once.

Can this be done on a bungalow?
Firstly, the front of the house is facing back away from the main access entrance. Can the back ( as it stands presently comprising kitchens and bathrooms/toilets) be converted to the front?

Secondly, can the roof be removed and more blocks added to make the ceiling higher or its just to dismantle and redesign from scratch. Can you weight in this pls.

Yes ,it can be done on bungalow.
If need be to remove the roof, we will do that.

Check the one we did here some years back.

kopell:
This debate is unnecessary, who even sending $1k monthly before he be lucky if he can still send $400. How about nothing? if he or she struggling to pay his bills. Is hard for people to understand this not until you move here permanently, then they know the difference between kaki and leather. That $100 someone send, do they know how many hours that person worked to get that money. No one I repeat give anyone money here you must go and put in those hours to make money for yourself.

Gbam.
But what about the sane environment over there ?

Watch out

Yes we constructed the building (Arbo contractor Ltd ) for a member here.

Was a PROPER German floor done? I hope you understand what a "German floor" is. From the photos you uploaded, what is the topography of the area? The photos look like you have a permamoist soil. With such topography, a PROPER German floor is crucial. It may be that your DPC has failed spectacularly leading to rising damp. The solution is to arrest the rising damp. Solution proffered so far by some knowledgeable forum members will come to waste if the solution does not include arresting the rising damp. You may protect the walls for all you care, but water will always find its level.

There are ways to arrest a rising damp but I'm not sure if the needed materials are widely available in Nigeria. For me, I will get a DPC Cream and inject into the wall. See the attached photos.

To apply a DPC Cream, dig down to blinding level of your foundation. Why? I will come to this later.

Take a level above ground level and drill hole at intervals INTO THE MORTAR of the blocks around the external perimeter of the external walls (see photo). Mind you, the way we lay our blocks, the mortar line will not be straight. Drill on the mortar, not the blocks. This solution will be particularly challenging if hollow blocks were used. This takes me to the next part.

Blow out the durst from the drilled holes and inject generous amount of the DPC Cream into the holes. What will happen, the cream will diffuse to form a DPM (damp proof membrane) stopping the rising damp.

The second part is; you've dug down to the BLINDING LEVEL of your foundation. Now wrap the external perimeter walls with a DPM. Get a carpenter to build a formwork of about 3 or 4 inches thick around the perimeter of the foundation and then pour a rich concrete mix into the formwork JUST BELOW the injected DPC CREAM. The DPC Cream should stop the rising damp and the concrete cast should protect the walls.

Then floor your compound. No interlocking for you. I've seen this done in Eastern Europe. Highly effective where the German floor fails with age or not done properly.

That remind me of “ maintenance tech &facilities mgt in sch then.

Topic then was ; Rising dampness ( it’s diff to Dampness, it’s 2 diff meaning )
It’s was about 5 pages on my note then.

“ The Solution is about 3-4
1. Latex Siliconate solution
2. Dpc (I) The use of Engineering Blk
(I I) bituminous felt
(III) Electro- osmosis

1.Silicon-ate solution comes in 2 types . The tube and the gallon type. … apply by injecting it into bore holes on the wall ( handle by pro)

2 Engr block : this is very effect here in Africa, mostly in Nigeria, I prefer this method bcs I have used it in many places and I can guaranty it 90 pec effective ( there is and Alternative to this if you can’t find the engr block) there is a technics on how to carry out this system) it required time and real monitoring/ supervision.

3 bitumen solution is also good
4. Electro- osmosis: this system is not common here in Nigeria, its commonly used in POLAR REGION country like ; Canada, Iceland etc where there is snow or perennial water lodge area.

Materials used in carrying out this method are
Car battery
Cable wire
Electrodes
Tube

Much explanation on this later when I have much time

But the system I used mostly is that of Engineering block.
