    I lived in Germany for 14 years stationed in the military. It was amazing watching them work with cobblestones and stone blocks. They could tear up an entire road, install new lines of some kind, and put everything back into place with no waste. I hated to run on them and cobbles can be bad on a motorcycle but they are beautiful and 100% reusable.

    All of the finer material will settle into the big gaps (air spaces) between the hardcore block pieces. Also a plate compactor should be used not a hand tamp. This will basically sink again.

    If you don’t connect the trench to a house drain which leads to weeping tiles, you will eventually have leakage into the house. The trench will collect a pool of water which has no place to go and will eventually leak into the basement. The limestone screening will slowly find its way into the voids between the broken bricks and it will loss material leading to sinking the interlocking bricks. A geo fabric between the two materials will prevent this from happening. My two cents.

    • @TheAudiostud
      @TheAudiostud 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Peter Chan this type of home has no basement and the job was done as per the clients wishes, if the client had agreed to a weeping drain then it would have been installed, when I quoted jobs I gave 3 options 1) The Right Way..2) The Wrong Way..3) The Cheap Way..and more often then not they chose option 3

      That was my concern as well. Here in Uganda all the buildings have creeping damp problems so I was interested to see how it was handled in the UK.

    • @sinista.productions
      @sinista.productions 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most houses in the UK have no basement and damp is avoided by having a damp course a few courses up the brickwork from ground level which is a membrane layer between the two courses in the mortar line. Air bricks are also used to allow air circulation within the buildings cavity to avoid damp.

    This is why I only use 5/8 - 3/4 inch fractured rock and 1/2" sand bedding under pavers. 20 years and not one issue with sunken pavers. Base material more expensive, but savings in base installation labor more than makes up for it. Most of my work is in North Dakota and Minnesota so frost heave a very problem, hence the rock. Not as critical in southern regions of the country, but the labor savings still the same.

    It has hardcore underneath. Should I just get it repaired or do the bricks as shown in video. Which option is more suitable and importantly cheaper. Thanks

    Great work and fix. I am bit skeptical about the first layer of bricks you put. They have to be crushed and compacted really well before puting gravel and sand. If they are not, in time you will start to get small pockets of air and possibly another sinking. But since it's been 5 years already from the fix, perhaps you can telll us if I'm wrong.
