Thank you very much I am having a damp problem in my house which I have lived in for 21 years. Due to watching this program I am building a new house which I will use damp proof God bless 🙌 🙏
All the best, yes make sure you use a high grade DPM not the thin one as it will Pearce with sand blending also. See our previous videos on how to. All the best with your project ! Give us a shout if you need anything.
Great quality information for ordinary people like me who are learning the rubrics of building a home for the first time. I like the fact that you advised strongly, the use of Ghana building code as well. Well done and greetings from a Ghanaian in the US ❤
Great video and thanks for the education. I am learning new ideas everyday. My project will soon be underway so it’s good to know.Good job . the work looks neat.👍
Awesome info. Honestly out of all the building ive seen here in Ghana, this is the first I've seen use DPC this way and that is so encouraging. Im so weary of damp and sometimes it seems prevention is never enough. But with redundancy on every level and quality materials, its possible to build here without the home turning in to a lemon. Thank you for this 🙏🏾
Thank you for your kind message it’s so encouraging. Yes the products are there when you source them, it’s absolutely possible to build a quality home once you have the right team and skilled workforce. We really believe in building our home and any of our clients to a quality you expect to pass on for generations. It’s our hard earned cash so needs to be spent wisely. Have a great week x
Your welcome together we can build the dream ! Hit us up and we will share the guys number to purchase 👍🏾 just watched your beach video with family by nature fun times
Where are you building inn Ghana, we have land and are building in Takoradi when we come back over in October, great to see building being done properley
So far, there is no perfect solution to our water dumping problem in Ghana. Everyone have some time of solution that we can always rethink through to see if this the right solution. I like this method but the issue on this is, if the rubber prevents the dump from rising, won’t it stay beneath and eat up the concrete and weaken the foundation? I have no idea but I hope your solution helps because building in Ghana now is expensive but this evil water dumping is a headache. We need our engineers to come up with a one fit solution for us.
Actually, there is a perfect solution for preventing rising dampness, and it's all written down in the Ghanaian building regulations and codes, but it's not followed. It's important to select the appropriate DPM based on land conditions. The specially formulated rubber must be laid in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions by ensuring that the minimum overlapping requirements are adhered to and all joints taped. The membrane prevents ground water from coming into contact with concrete. If in doubt, it's best to speak to a damp specialist. Our process complies with the building code.
Yes, the DPM must be laid before installing the wood profile or formwork for the concrete slab casting. The board is usually removed and stored before starting the DPC and the blockwork but in this case we left the boards insitu because it will be required shortly for the columns work. Thanks

Damp proof sheets were not used for my fence wall foundation before concrete was cast, is there a way to use the damp proof membrane when laying the blocks for example?? Thanks in advance.
You don’t need DPM for a fence but the wall must be treated with appropriate damp preventative measures before plastering with waterproof mortar. For more information and advice please contact us on +2332570292792. Thanks
Hearing yr voice do you know of black jack water proof solution that you can use of the first Three courses coming out from the foundation do you know of the water base paint i am speaking of also they have the same paint in Ghana but a green colour??

Glad it was helpful! We welcome you ! Thank you for watching. Building a home is a massive undertaking but very rewarding
This is really educative, wish I knew this earlier, now i have dampness and thinking of how to solve it.
Dryrod injection or cutting to spread DPM
Nice description
Thanks you

Thank you for the video . Can you please let me know -Do you put the Dpm then the wood around the building or vice versa?
Yes, the DPM must be laid before installing the wood profile or formwork for the concrete slab casting. The board is usually removed and stored before starting the DPC and the blockwork but in this case we left the boards insitu because it will be required shortly for the columns work. Thanks
@@princenikki thank you 🙏🏿 I appreciate it 🥰
Than you so much for this very informative video! I don’t understand what is DPC?
DPC is damp proof course. It’s used to prevent raising damp up the walls. We have other videos on the channel on how it’s laid also.
@@princenikki what is a course? Is it some type of paint?
@@valencia81750 No it’s not a paint.

We have a video here on how it should be laid. Thanks
@@princenikki is doc another kind of plastic yes or no. I think that we hav a translation issue from U K English to American English 😀

Any bitumen paint applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions should work irrespective of colour. Thanks
Please.
How long does the take to acquire your building to after applying to it.
Please rephrase I’m unclear of your question.
Hey prince how are you doing? Don't work too hard.
