I’m at my wits end with my self build house , moved in 10 months ago and it’s been a nightmare.
Our dream home has become a money pit even after completing and moving in. The droughts in every room are costing me on my energy bills. I’ve now realised what the issue is. The house a concrete block build with insulation in the cavity. The plasterboaring was dot and dab and the tell tale sign was drafts coming in behind sockets thinking this was a simple fix we used putty for sockets in all the sockets this made some improvement but not significant.
I’ve read about drilling holes in the plasterboard and filling with foam 100mm apart this is a big job. As it’s 4000sqft house. But I need to do something can’t continue like this.
ive purchased a flir camera to target the worst areas. Any one got any susgestions or experience in this area.
I know it’s as much my own fault for not taking care when the builders where onsite but it was a difficult and busy period in my life at the time.
