THAT leak

[Pocster]

I slapped another layer of thick sticky stuff over it , I also applied the bitumen

You’ve got to be careful Uncle Nick. In some parts of the Country ; popping corn has different meaning - especially in Corn(shit hole ) wall - @SteamyTea will be on you once he’s finished serving the wonderful tourists.

I loves corn hole wall . I do . I loves it . I thought 28 years later was filmed there - no need for extras .

Thought Ladies of Lavender was more your thing (I am looking at Mick's Mound ATM).

If you dig deep into Channel 4 archives you will find me.

If the Salt Path was not such a crap story, I would illegal download it, but preferred Gillian in the X Files.

Make sure you ram it into any deep / tight cracks.

Friday mate - that’s a given

10 minute saturation test 

[Pocster]

Still leaks but very slight . The issue I think ( guess ) is overflowing that corner I.e the block paving causes the water to pool and run high… Could just remove some blocks and retest … ?  
Just pour / paste bitumen all over the exposed ground ?

It pools at the green area and literally rises to the top of the blocks - so I think it then seaps through the ground and runs under .

Dig up the rough ground where the asphalt ends and rough ground begins ( currently pavers ontop ) . Cement with fibres mixed in to stabilise the ground then bitumen paint that and over the asphalt edge ?

[Pocster]

Think I need to take up a row of pavers . Clean it up so I can see how the asphalt actually ends .

[Pocster]

Dug up a bit . So there’s some membrane under the pavers . Perhaps when it floods it runs under that and back ?

Just concrete over the edge of the asphalt and membrane - then bitumen paint the lot ?

 

I can’t just bitumen paint this as is can I ??

 

Liquid rubber ? So up over the asphalt to meet the bitumen . Over that small bit of rough ground , then over the edge of the membrane … ?

What to do !

[Pocster]

Gorilla type liquid rubber and just (expletive deleted) over the 3 materials ?

So you have proper, traditional, hot laid asphalt? Anything else is not asphalt.

 

Atop that a membrane then sand bedded pavers?

 

Looks like green mineral roofing felt in earlier pics with all the nasty associated joints, laps, folds and seams. Pay particular attention where it laps up any walls etc. Hot laid asphalt is great and forms a homogenous layer even on upstands where you incorporate fillets. Until of course it cracks. 

 

I'd assume the flat areas are ok and focus on the bold highlighted bits.

Where the asphalt ends - then rough  ground , then the compacted ground ; membrane ontop and pavers .

So that liquid rubber over the lot ? Effectively ( hopefully ) forming a waterproof barrier from rain going over asphalt then over the rubber off onto the membrane under the pavers I.e water will run away at that point

[Pocster]

So the asphalt ends at the green line , rough ( but compressed ) ground ( probably mot1 ) - so that runs under the membrane .

So just liquid rubber running from a few inches up the asphalt to a few inches over the membrane .

 

In essence the red bit is liquid rubber done all the way along covering all the different materials .

 

 

That a plan. ?

[Pocster]

Or perhaps a piece of flat outdoor plastic laid under the membrane upto the edge of the asphalt. Might give a better seal if bitumen ( or liquid rubber ?? ChatGPT keeps changing its mind ! ) - ??????????

[Pocster]

Think what I might do is cut back the membrane for the 1st row of pavers . Dig it out , put concrete in . Then bitumen from asphalt over that .

[Onoff]

The liquid rubber will stick to both substrates and hopefully allow a flexible joint. The surfaces want to be clean as in vacuum job I would and maybe a wash / dry beforehand.

But what about the compressed loose ground between them ? . Remove replace with concrete or just (expletive deleted) liquid rubber over that also ?

[Pocster]

Forgot I’ve got some of this 

It’s the rough ground an issue - but it’s unlikely to move - just (expletive deleted) this over the lot ( professionally speaking ) 

[Onoff]

It says for professional use. You need to take it back. 

[Onoff]

A rough substrate is no issue. More so if it's loose and bitty.

Was is this "rough ground" made of?
