syne Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 So originally a retaing wall was going to be built 1400 high on the boundary line and the garage wall was going to be independent. The se however suggested that if the ground could be sloped the garage wall could be full filled with concrete and build regs would satisfied, structural calculations unneeded and thousands saved. All good, but leaves the perennial question of damp proofing.. Insulation is going on the inside face of the wall. My last retaining wall had bitchumin coated on the back, fabric wrapped perforated drain and gravel fill. But that was a patio wall in a garden, it's performed well and the render hasn't blown 3 years later What would you do here? I can't dig any further down as its solid rock and a soak crate is going to be a right pain to do as It'd have to go 20m away in the garden to get it away from boundaries and buildings.. But I am going to put a roof/shed along the gap between the garage and the fence. It'd very well protected from the weather. Should i tank it it?

saveasteading Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Well done that SE. If you position a dpm against the outer face, then backfill with gravel, that should just about do it. A perforated pipe in the gravel to a more distant outfall would help. Painting the brick in blackjack too. What's the wall buildup? Double skin for a very posh garage, and some grey cavity fill for a cosy garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
