Imprinted concrete - Grandad has been ripped off
Pocster replied to diyenthusiat's topic in Driveways
Boys ‘imprinting’ each other ; very homo funky . “ Let’s remove our tops “ -
Found this old photo . Hard to tell zoomed in what’s going on - no idea if I left it like this or finished it somehow . Looks interesting at the bottom , can see plastic membrane and a hole ( ??? )
-
Rain tomorrow. So a test of sorts . Sunny from Sunday for the week . So Sunday will hose that corner to bits .
-
lol . That trunking is just the pv cable running down that side . Going a long the roof ( doesn’t penetrate it ) under the decking to the otherside of the build . But appreciate it looks like a potentially water filled pipe or something
-
Well @Mr Punter you were right ; it won’t exactly form a neat job ! . But if it stops the leak cosmetics can be applied later I.e some trim over it . I’ll leave it until Sunday then will hose the hell out of that corner
-
Gave up with the gap filler strip - no way it will stay in . So will foam then gouge it back once cured ready to fill properly tomorrow
-
Did make me laugh this morning I think the wording goes “ I’ve got a massive hole that needs filling , I really need a big load “ ” get it from earth works “ I laughed anyway
-
Couldn’t agree more ! I’m relatively confident that corner is the source of all my woes . Weather tomorrow looks ok - so might attempt the fix then
-
I swear water has intelligence. It’s found new paths so it can find nice virgin parts of the kitchen ceiling to spoil . Everything has now arrived to attempt that corner fix outside - just need a dry day .
-
I guess every year religiously ( or when the pump sounds a bit rough ) - I do this task .
-
???? The saniflo bs alarm I’ve removed from the unit . It buzzes even like this … Guess the pressure switch is stuck - will buy a new one to be safe .
-
Ordered a new one . its only grey water so ….
-
(expletive deleted)ing saniflo alarm won’t stop going off now even out of the unit . No reset button or anything .
-
Seriously , no magic tip down sink , liquifies gloop then all good ?
-
Tell you what cleaned it and back installed now - testing it First think I notice how much quieter it is and how short a time the pump runs to empty water …
-
So a few days ago the saniflo high water alarm went off . Decided reluctantly to open it up and take a look ! (expletive deleted) me - like something from alien ! No wonder it’s struggling . This is from a sink / dishwasher and washing machine . We try to prevent food going down the sink . To avoid this again is there anything I can tip down the sink to basically clear all this gunk from building up ??
-
Yeah . Washer was on - we have guests here . As I walked past the saniflo I heard the pump repeating many times ( sounded unusual ) . Then the audible noise of the high water alarm on the unit . No one else took any bloody notice ! Quickly turned the washer off . Pump ‘calmed down’ then emptied as normal . Turned washer back on - let it finish and drain - no issues with pump . Since then filled up the sink and let a load of cold water down to the saniflo , all fine . But ! As usual - one day it will die on me . Anyone with a saniflo please buy the high water alarm !!
-
High water alarm going off on saniflo now …. Wonderful !
-
Sod’s Law and all that . Just got back in . Leak on 1st window not too bad . But magically decided to be the worst ever from 2nd …. 🫤
-
Loads of rain last night . Leaks doing good today . That corner area looks bone dry though …. Can see how wet the rest of the wall is . Could have dried out in the night of course in that corner … Water can be so cunning !
-
I always have difficulty sticking to stone . I’ll get ebt + clear so less visual mess 👍
-
How do I mask the stone ? What tape sticks to it ???
-
Found something ! This gap - between the white render board and the stone . Pissed the hose over this gap and …. It leaked ! Not sure if there’s an issue at the base but certainly on this gap . Fill with what though ? Expanding foam ???? expanding foam tape ? Too wide and deep for ct1 / silicone sealant I think .
-
Been using for almost the 1st time the search facility . Can see this leak dates back to around 2018 - so should really find it and fix ….
