Salvaging a Flooded Basement Before it Collapses

- The horror story basement in this property has leaked for many years and multiple construction companies have attempted to solve the waterproofing and structural issues.
We go on a journey to salvage and restore this basement by building a structural waterproof box within the existing basement. We battle collapsing walls, incoming water, tree roots, decaying RSJ’s, condensation and leaking swimming pools while creating structures, pouring concrete, fitting Delta Membranes waterproof systems and pre-wiring for a home cinema, which we will be fitting soon.
This is our first showcase where we show you a build project from start to finish. The edit may well have taken longer than the actual build! :)

By a mile best video in ages I've been in building trade 35 years and at a decent level and have to say your work is superb most big firms normally don't cut the mustard and are very sloppy your work is on another level. You got some seriously good guys 👍 all the best darrall ps more videos like this
Daniel..
@@coldheartriddim7801 ??
@@coldheartriddim7801 the comment was made by Darrall, he's signing off with it rather than thinking Daniels name is Darrall
Have you not seen Colin furze’s tunnel video?
What an amazing project, high level of detail and skill, high quality of finish too. Watched every second of this video looking forward to pt2
I am a damp and condensation consultant in London, where I investigate, diagnose and implement remedial works for residential properties. I have watched this from the beginning to the end and I really love the meticulous approach of your company and your finish. Unlike many companies that show no care, take shortcuts and inconvenience the clients in the end. This is what I call first class work. Keep up the great work Mr Ashville.
👍greetings from Davenport Iowa USA 🇺🇸 and I agree with your comment ✌.I was in the waterproofing business for 20 years
Brupp brupp. 💪🏾✌🏾👌🏾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Being a consultant I would have hoped you would have spotted the incorrect ceiling build-up, its incorrect in the most basic of ways. 🙄🙄
Can I ask, how much something like this would cost?
@@V3ctor003 It depends on the size of the space.
At first I thought this was overkill, but then I thought about it and remembered nature always wins and this level of protection was necessary to keep water at bay, I’m sure the customer was fed up with the basement failing after the previous two attempts and made the right decision and gave you a call to do a proper job
I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult this must have been. Huge respect to the whole team.
Production of the video was incredible. 3D animation was amazing and extremely helpful.
Brilliant work. I’m sure there will be no leaks / condensation or anything like that. Owner must be relieved.
Can’t wait for part two!
the 3D part was an unexpected and such a pleasant part of the video. S/o to the team for thinking on it and going through the process.... helped a layman like me understand stuff very clearly!
That was SICK! More of these start to finish videos please, animations definitely put it all together and looked slick
breh it took them almost a year from filming to publishing, i dont think anything similar is coming soon
@@ras7348 especially considering it doesn’t look like they’re doing much construction at the moment when you look at Ashville weekly
This video was EPIC!! So much to learn from thanks!!
This video, equalises 1 semester of education in "structural engineering" at my uni back in my bachelors' days. Well done Danial!
I learned a lot from this video, and all the Weekly videos, Daniel is a very serious man! And he got a very serious team.
Lol dam spend a week as a former carpenter
@damon waite lol your not a carpenter “a week a floor “ if you no you no
Competence with style like this brings tears of happiness to my eyes. Your entire enterprise fairly reeks of attention to detail and intelligence, from the work to the video production. I'm an instant fan.
Ashville's attention to detail is through and through, second to none! Amazing work, thankful for showing us the whole process.
This, is one the most well made video I ever watched on TH-cam, documentary level with the amount of 3D demonstrations and informations.
Mad respect to everyone worked on this 🙌 !
This is good enough for main stream TV. College/university students and teachers can learn from this video.
Daniel, I don’t normally comment on your videos but I can see the sheer quality your company offers your clients. Can’t wait for part 2!
Same it’s so satisfying too
All comes at a silly price tho
@@skylarroper1074 what you pay is what you get🤝
Rather a silly price than a flooded basement. Quality work.
This man is serious , quality waayyyy up , workmanship solid . I want to have some money that I can get Ashville build a house for me 😀
One lucky client. To get a professional with obsessive attention to quality and detail. Absolute professionalism from start to finish. Great work!
Daniel, you have smashed this video. Guarantee everyone in the industry will be watching this and being proud.
I love the 3D animations. Really helps you understand more about what is going on.
Keeps that viewer retention ;)
Ashville on a thursday?! This is SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!
It’s just a normal video. Weekly will be on Sunday ❤️
Loved the whole video even the part where they showed the screed being laid. I'm glad you kept the footage and the original audio it brings the whole project closer to home and really shows the workmanship and effort that goes into such a job. Fantastic work!
I have to say honestly this video was as good if not better than most construction tv programmes. You and the team have really out done yourself with this one Daniel great job. I can’t wait for part 2.
Daniel looking different, and cars looking different too! How times have changed
I must admit, I wasn't all that interested in watching this video initially. However, I'm glad I did. It's a supurbly done production on what turned out to be a captivating, problem solving project. My hats off to your skill, your crew and your production team. This is on par with a famous American show called This Old House on PBS. Great work Daniel!
7:14 Love it when you want to explain your thought process to someone and 2 sentences in they already on the same page
I'm literally blown away by the level of work you have done on this project. Its 100% obvious what quality and attention you put into the work you do.
Danial, I never comment on any videos but wow! You and your team have really put 110% into this, what an incredible, informative video with some top notch editing and detail into the short clips . I have followed you since day 1 watching each and every single video ! You do an amazing job with your building and Arggrigate services, and your an incredible entertainer! What makes us all that tad prouder is that you work day to day on your real life business and still find time to entertain us all! Big shout out to Asheville and all his team!!
Changing the game, I work in software dev and I am obsessed with this industry lol. I love the problem-solving and hands-on aspects of it all. And it's all thanks to Daniel!
And the team, Daniel puts the things together and the team, team work helps make it happen
Ditto ... print("Hello World")
Straight to the point. No wasting time with excessive talking bout random stuff. Can’t wait for part 2 top quality
everything about this video is perfect. the quality, the animations, the explanations, the overall work, everything. i watch every single ashville weekly and have bought a hoodie so was expecting a top notch video but this beat my expectations by a mile. well done to everyone at Ashville.
Me and my little girl every time a new video is out we both say… “ ITS ASHVILLE TIME BABYYYYY”
The illusive basement salvage project video is finally here!
This is probably one of the most high quality professional videos that could easily be shown own television as an educational series. I got this from the first 15minutes alone.
Wow, true craftsmanship in every sense of the word. I was literally glued to the TV. Such an amazing transformation. Your staff who undertook this salvage project, are truly top of their game 👍
Not even half way through the video and this is by far the best you have uploaded as a team. The editing is on point, very concise, informative, quick and enjoyable. The 3D graphics was so worth investing in. Well done to the team at Ashville!
Finally here 🙌
Edit after watching: what an amazing production. Hats off to the editing and production team (or person!!) because this was 💯. And of course, also 💯 is the build itself - great job!
Beat me to it was thinking the exact same thing - next Ridley Scott in the making
Can’t wait for part 2... I am buzzing.. top work looks amazing
THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!
1. Easy to understand.
2. Gripping throughout the length of video.
3. Awesome and truly accurate animations.
4. Perfect and precise explanation.
Loved and enjoyed my time watching it.
Best 46 minutes spent today.
Also I followed this from start to beginning..watching the weekly videos 😊😊😊😊
You are really passionate about your work. Holding the concrete pipe, even when there are workers around, shows how much attention and heart is given to any job!!!! Love the dedication!
whilst i really enjoy videos from the yard i really really enjoy those like this where you get out and about and show things like this. i think ive said before, being a person of the wheelchair using variety construction isnt really something ive considered getting into, although i did a bit of brick laying at college lol. im by far no expert in it, but i still find these videos really interesting to watch. the bits with the trains are good too....
Wow I’m just done watching this and this is just an insanely well made video so informative and well presented
Brilliant video again by the team! Well worth the wait for this one!👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽
6 months of watching Ashville, think this was my favourite video! 3D animations perfect for the non engineer watching. Super!
Glad you salvaged the footage 😎 all that stress and here it is …. That’s SERIOUS !!
The animations are amazing, these editors deserve a rise!
...even the audio made it seem more real that live video.
Deserve a raise my friend!
Excellent walk through of stage one of this project, looking forward to part two, congratulations on the top quality work.
Wonderful Daniel... thanks for sharing this.
That was a really interesting insight to an amazingly technical construction, definitely no options for cutting corners on this one….. really great work Daniel, absolutely stunning attention to detail as always 😁😁😁
It’s finally here… and worth the wait. I love the detail.. well done to everyone involved - builders, video editors, pourers, architects - a real team effort … in the words of Daniel “NICE” 👌🏾
Fantastic start to finish video of one of your projects, hope you have more of these planned in future!!
I just watched a 45 minute video on building a waterproof basement. I have no basement. Not planning to build a basement. I'm not even working in construction and never did any construction. But I can tell you I enjoyed every minute of this video! A++
This project probably cost the same as a small home itself. But by gosh, that is so absolutely amazing work, and your attention to detail is a step above the rest. If only all contractors were as good as you guys.
That's some amazing editing there, he almost looks and sounds like he knows what he's doing. Seriously a great job, great video.
As a graduate Civil Engineer , 6 months in industry.. I must say this fella’s communication skills are amazing & his depth of knowledge.
Gotta thank KSI for introducing me to this beautiful channel. Keep up the great work!
Not even intrested in these kind of stuff but due to the professional presentation, quality and consistency you've got me hooked!👍⭐
Awesome salvage work Daniel! The amount of re-work & corrections necessary to get the final finish was amazing!
Amazing, overcoming all the problems on the job and getting a brilliant useable space for the client.
The editing and end result of the video is better than you get on Grand Designs, keep up the amazing work Daniel and team
Fantastic video. Really interesting. Looking forward to part 2 👍👍
Great video, can't wait to see the finished article 👍
By far one of the Best videos produced to date. Well done! Thorough, interesting and informative. Cheers to a job well done.
Just watched the whole video. Congrats to the editing team on all the cutaways! Awesome content as always 👌 Ashville team are next level
The best video i have seen on youtube for a age thanks for taking the time to put this together spot on.
Great work 👏 love how you showed every little detail of how you stopped it leaking and all the hard work the lads did to make this happen unreal 👏 💪 can't wait for part 2 and future videos of this side of your business
This was epic, the animations were superb, and very clear explanations/narration. I'm currently detailing a basement and this will definitely give me nightmares as to all the things that could go wrong. Well done!
Incredible problem solving under pressure and attention to detail. Well done 👍
well what a video that was , loved every bit Daniel , great work to you and the crew
nice, mid week asville! what a monumental job! probably my fav ashville vid to date. soo much information, love it.
Daniel, already told my husband, that when I win the lottery and buy a piece of land, we're coming to you for the build, including a basement cinema room. This video just confirms yet again, the quality work you and your team provide. Now just need to find those winning numbers! 👍
Glad I was not the only one thinking that! 😅
that was amazing loved all 46 min of it , the editors did a great job too
This is a great series!! Love it. I can’t wait to watch more!
love that you took the effort to chunk this into digestable chapters, thanks dude!
Love this ashville keep up the amazing work special credits to the whole vid team and the ashville teams 👍👍
For such a young man Daniel your work is just pure quality. When you do things in construction you only do it the best and right way amazing video and look forward to see the end result 👊🏻 big up Ashville
He’s good shit. But rmb engineers dictate what needs to used and done to spec
Loved this episode! Informative and well edited. x
Brilliant work! I love how you went over and beyond on every step during the building process It's definitely built to last
The animation is brilliant. Keep going in this trajectory
Daniel great diagnosis of the problems and finding solutions to the problems you found along the way. A lesser team would have bodged it. All credit to you, your team, and your partners. Simply brilliant.
What an amazing video. Can't wait for part 2.
First time seeing your production and I’m not gonna lie I was intrigued throughout the whole process. Fantastic journey from start to finish and the attention to detail as well was perfect. Can’t wait to see part 2 of this project
Mind blown 😳 wow amazing how much time and effort goes into these jobs
I don't know where to start, Daniel. First off, you are a very articulate man, and also you annunciate very well, which, because I am deaf, allows me to understand you easily, and take in what is quite a complex job. That is to say that being articulate, you present it well, and because you annunciate well, I can understand every word you say. Thank you. Ok, I think the animations are absolutely first class, and help immensely to put across how the job progresses. Do you have someone in house who does this, or have you subbed that out to an external company ? Either way, they are very good. I guess client confidentiality would prevent you from telling us what the value of the job was, but looking at what was involved, it must have been eye watering. I am impressed by the grasp you have over what is happening at any given stage of the job. Apart from the membrane crowd, how many external consultants were involved in advising your company on the correct way to approach the job, or was that in house? I think your giving a guarantee to your work because your client accepted all your recommendations speaks volumes for you and your client, I have a feeling that you have both fallen on someone decent ! I am very much looking forward to the completion of this project.
Great jod lads, really good to see the whole job from start to finish. Nuff respect!
This is just incredible work and the video is soon detailed. Love it man
Daniel that was one of the best videos so far really informative and interesting how you got over issues. I know it’s not my business but I’m intrigued on the cost I bet it wasn’t cheap. Well done
yeah must have cost an absolute fortune!!
thats all i can think about lol, client must be super rich but im guessing at least couple hundred grand. Nice when you can spare no expense to get something done.
£200k atleast?
@@masterindisguises just the materials 200k plus.
380k me thinks..
Why in the world would anyone want a basement in a place where there’s so much water? The amount of money homeowners waste in England on basements is absurd
Brilliant work Daniel and your great team. 👍🏾
That level of work is top notch and good for you guys who are great .good to see going the extra mile to ensure it is correct
Props to Daniel & the team, very good animations - I felt as thought I was watching the documentaries on TV. Well done guys, keep up the great work 👍 👏
Simply amazing video, the work, time and money just to make this video is scary but so appreciative of it and a nice treat, so can't imagine the money it costs the owner to do the actual job, must be easily £60k+. Amazing to see it though and learned so much watching this while being entertained, can't ask for anything more 👌
60k what, id say this job cost at least 5x that
Yeah exactly my thought, you’re looking at atleast £200k worth of work here. Look at all the labour, materials and expertise. This job would of been months of labour
@@kellydisthebest yh reckon easily couple hundred grand. Wish i had that sort of spare change lol
@@kellydisthebest 200K the client could have bought a house up north and lived there instead 😂😂
I just love how informative and well made your videos are really enjoyed that 👌🏾👌🏾
Great video pal, so informative to see every stage!
I remember reading about these crazy extended basements in the London area, and that they stopped any future approvals.
I thought you would have dug out the exterior and put on a proper exterior membrane. This looks like a really expensive approach to build out the interior walls. But an interesting approach, since water proofing has multiply solutions.
From a US perspective I only know exterior waterproofing. Everything we do is to keep the water out of structure. We would have replaced the exterior walls and plan an exterior waterproofing and drainage system. Hydrostatic pressure is best mitigated by water management on the property.
great content as always- thanks Dan!! when is the control 4 video coming out?
stickerman's control 4
Amazing work, description and video!
Brilliant . love the attention to detail
This was an incredibly hard project, Daniel. I'm amazed, inspired and proud of your perseverance and talent
So, let me get this straight.. Basement was flooded from
1) The pool side. The pool lights were leaking INTO the basement.
2) The roof rain drain. The pipes were causing massive holes and leaking INTO the basement.
3) The garden steps. The steps had no membrane and water leaked INTO the basement.
4) The garden steps drains. The drain was completely clogged and could not manage the water away, so it seeped into the soil and leaked INTO the basement.
5) The back windows. The windows had no membrane and water leaked INTO the basement.
This is of course, not mentioning the Tree Roots putting additional pressure onto the original basement wall.
Did I miss anything?
Unbelievable whoever done the work the first time around and got it signed off.
@@goonzjav just shows what cowboys are out there and it wouldn't of been a cheap job first time round either
I remember watching your videos wayyyyyy back when and this…. This is a feature film with some top notch editing and commentary. Thank you for making videos with the quality that you put into your construction!
Production on this video is on another level 👏 The amount of work done to salvage the basement is unbelievable. Cannot wait to see the finished article
What happened to the project that Daniel went to it had a pool that needed filling and new house constructed?
Everyone knows that this video was filled over a long period of time because of the yellow land rover
Simply wow! And educational too. Congratulations Ashville and all the best for the future. Can't wait for part 2.
Lovely video...absolutely fascinating work been done by your team, thanks.
Another great video! Really interesting and well put together by your video guy :P Look forward to more!
Incredible detail in this video. Fantastic.
Can't believe the amount of work needed but wow, what a job. 😮
Loved watching this gained so much knowledge in less than a hour. Perfect and maybe once editing team gets more time and expands we can see more discussions with the team. Loved how he communicates and respects his project managers and how he gets involved.
Excellent video. Great work Dan and team
