What is behind the wall? Is it your neighbor toilet? laundry area? or is just soil?

QUOTE(tiensong @ Oct 7 2011, 11:15 AM) i suspect maybe soil...because neighbour house is higher than me... If possible, maybe go talk to your neighbor and go in to check the area, also 10 feet left and 10 feet right. Water may leak and flow from high to low. Like my house, i add a water pipe for my dry kitchen, but the stopper was not properly tight. Water was slowly dipping and affect entire 10 feet stretch of the wall. Thought was my neighbor, i go talk to her check the other side of the wall (my neighbor house). Later my plumber come and seal it tight again wait two week and wall is dry. All the paint eventually fallen out. |

QUOTE(tiensong @ Oct 7 2011, 11:35 AM) If the water come from underground soil, it is very hard to check.....even if water pipe leakage underground, I also feel impossible to replace/repair it... Your neighbor eventually have to replace it else water bill will be very high for them. Another method i was considering (during the early incident) together with my contractor is hack out entire plastering wall of the affected area up to 15 to 20 feet diameter, and use water proof cement to do the plastering again. Maybe you can consider this too. |

QUOTE(tiensong @ Oct 7 2011, 11:47 AM) If I notice earlier, maybe can hack the plastering wall until bricks and place a layer of tar (according to my painter) before plastering again... but my house is in painting stage and get ready to finish up all the things and move in... seems like nothing I can do now...maybe need to visit neighbour house one day... donno what will happen to my new paint after few months...headache... Better do before move in. Hack when move in very "leceh" |

QUOTE(tiensong @ Oct 7 2011, 12:07 PM) Tiles, skirting..everything already done...if now I going to hack the wall again, i need to redo a lot of things... redo wall plastering and skim coating..some more if tiles and skirting got problem, need to do tiling again...waste a lot of money... haiz...tired.... any good solution which is easy to implement? Try get good paint sealer. But it won't last forever. Maybe 6 - 12 months paint will start chipping out. Long term solution got to see what is on your neighbor wall / behind the wall to confirm what best fix. |
