Looks very similar to what I need to do. I have a end Terrence house and the same is happening as the walk way at the side has been built up over the years and is over the damp course. Great video. Thank you.
This is literally the same issue I have with my garage and someone quoted me £300 to put sand and cement around the base of the garage. Lucky I found this video lol nice one
Hi. Brilliant! I really hope it works! If you are unsure. Feel free to email me some pictures and il try give you some more advise. Info@everlastimprovements.co.I’m Thanks George
Spot on my friend. I have a concrete sectional garage with internal cement fillet seals totally useless. Why do the manufactures instruct this procedure ? As you demonstrated I cleaned the outside of the bottom edge then painted a flat roof repair / sealant around the base. now no dampness :) Great that you are giving advice to solve problems.
Nice one. Adding a cement filet on top of that blackjack would protect it to last a bit longer, otherwise blackjack by itself could get damaged/worn over time. Or you could always also another coat on if that happened I guess.
How long does it take to dry. Unexpected shower 3 hours after applying and it washed off - big brown puddle! No instructions on the can but they were talking about 3 coats - think I'll have to wait till next summer 😅
Oh no that’s annoying! There is quick drying black jack available. Which says it can dry in 4 hours everbuild do one. Think tool station sell it. Good luck
Thanks for the video mate. I have a similar problem in my garage the water tracks in from above the exposed slab on the outside. The gap between my garage and the neighbour's is only about six inches so I can't get to paint on the BlackJack. Thinking of pouring tanking slurry down the gap to raise the level above the slab, any thoughts?
Hi Andy. Sounds like a right pain! Sounds like the garages should have been joined rather than a 6inch gap. You may have to do some tanking on the inside of your garage rather than the outside. Good luck mate
@@everlastbuilders Hey guys, I have a single skin shed where the outside level (public path) is higher than the dampcourse level on it due to the council pouring asphalt down. How would you combat this? Use blackjack internally? Cheers!
Mate, I’ve been bitchin, wineing and moaning about the garage roof replacement company that installed the garage roof a year or so ago, turns out it’s not up top. As your quick guide says, it’s water ingress along the side of the garage where the earth is high up running into and through the single skin brickwork. Tommozer, I’m going to Wickes and getting me some blackjack, bit of digging and BOOM that’ll be job done. Thanks and Thanks again, you hit the mark, no fannying around. Just say it how it is………We’ll done boys
Hi mate. I have the exact same problem. How dry does the existing mortar have to be before you put the stuff on.? Don’t suppose you know if it’s still working sound?
hello mate. Im sure most of the dpm paints can be applied to damp conditions. just check the tin when you Buy. Yes mate it worked out ok for me. Good luck
Look up wood treatment. It’s a clear spray on or paint on liquid. That will buy you some time and preserve the wood. Sounds like your getting water under your shed. Ideally you need to stop that to. Maybe add some guttering?
Drill holes approx 50mm apart and inject this stuff that spreads 25 mm radius thus forming a vapour barrier. I don’t recall exactly the dimensions but that is the principal
Hi Andrew sorry for late reply. I suppose it depends how damp the floor gets. Any sort of black bitumen paint will do or if it’s not to bad. Maybe use a heavy duty garage floor paint as you will have more options of colours, hope that helps
Never used the stuff but Iv heard good things about it. Apart from the price. Suppose if water is soaking threw the wall this would be good. But if the issue is rising damp, water soaking in from underneath. It probably wouldn’t work.
Stormdry penetrates deeper so in this situation would be more effective for "rising damp" rather than lateral splash damp - if that's it. Safeguard Europe dryrods for the rising damp.
Hi Charlie. Thanks for the comment. Bricks are porous and soak in water. So most single brick skin garages could potentially get damp issues on the inside.
Hi Jessica thanks for watching. If water is getting threw on the top sides. It could be a roof issue, fascia,soffit issue, problem with gutters or hole in the Sand cement mortar. So very hard for me to suggest a solution. Feel free to email me some pics and I can try and advise. George. Info@everlastimprovements.co.uk
Hi. Thanks for the brilliant video. I was just wandering ....... we had a builder come in and damp proofed our little cellar with this. He left lots of marks on the wooden skirting boards. I was wandering how do you take the damp proof of or remove it from a wooden skirting board? Methylated spirit didn’t work. Thank you in advance.
Hello. Thank you. Oh dear surprised he wouldn’t have removed skirting before painting? But I know it’s not easy to remove. Best way will probably be with a scraper or sharp chisel to get the worst of, then maybe try white spirt or a solvent cleaner to get the last little bits. Hope that helps
@@everlastbuilders thank you so much for your wise words. Scraper? Havnt tried that yet. White spirit didn’t work. But thank you again. All the best and good luck with your wonderful channel. J
Blackjack is not good below ground, the water pressure pushes it off the wall surface. Try Sika1 with plastering sand and cement, needs 2 or 3 thin layers. Expensive and lot of work but if it's good enough for London Underground... I've used it on a cellar that was 3feet of water before. Still dry 15 years later...
Hi I’m sure it is. but I can’t lie I haven’t been back. No news good news I reckon. If you have to paint a whole wall you could try using a masonry protection cream. It’s clear rather than black. Good luck
Looks very similar to what I need to do. I have a end Terrence house and the same is happening as the walk way at the side has been built up over the years and is over the damp course. Great video. Thank you.
God luck. Hope it sorts your issue. Thanks for watching. George
This is exactly what i need to do on my garage. Thanks for the video!

Glad it helped mate
Perfect mate this is exactly what I need it for.
Ideal. Good luck mate
Any update on this? Did it manage to keep the damp out after a few weeks?
Nice one. Adding a cement filet on top of that blackjack would protect it to last a bit longer, otherwise blackjack by itself could get damaged/worn over time. Or you could always also another coat on if that happened I guess.
Yes second coat wouldn’t do any harm. Thanks for your comment

Can you use Liquid DPM on the internal floor for a wooden shed? The floor is wooden. Thank you
On the concrete pad yes. If your wooden floor in your shed is damp or wet it’s going to rot away. DPM will only mask the problem
@@everlastbuilders AHH I see. Any product you recommend to prolong the life of the shed wooden floor? Thank You.
Look up wood treatment. It’s a clear spray on or paint on liquid. That will buy you some time and preserve the wood. Sounds like your getting water under your shed. Ideally you need to stop that to. Maybe add some guttering?
@@everlastbuilders thank you very much
What would you suggest if you can't access the bottom of the exterior wall? Is there a way to damp proof from the inside?
Hi thanks for wAtching, yes it is so able from the inside. You will be best of using a tanking slurry. Which you paint on. Good luck!
Ye thats my problem letme know if you fiind a cheap solution thankss.
bitumen paint would be the cheapest way. Won’t look to pretty tho.
Drill holes approx 50mm apart and inject this stuff that spreads 25 mm radius thus forming a vapour barrier. I don’t recall exactly the dimensions but that is the principal
Hi there what is a good idea to damp proof the garage concrete floor
Hi Andrew sorry for late reply. I suppose it depends how damp the floor gets. Any sort of black bitumen paint will do or if it’s not to bad. Maybe use a heavy duty garage floor paint as you will have more options of colours, hope that helps
What about painting the outside wall with stormdry cream lasts 25 years.
Amazon £107 pounds
Never used the stuff but Iv heard good things about it. Apart from the price. Suppose if water is soaking threw the wall this would be good. But if the issue is rising damp, water soaking in from underneath. It probably wouldn’t work.
Stormdry penetrates deeper so in this situation would be more effective for "rising damp" rather than lateral splash damp - if that's it. Safeguard Europe dryrods for the rising damp.
Just buy the Bostik Water/Brick Seal - 17 quid in Toolstation
got the same problem with my garage and was looking at doing the same thing can you put a layer of cement on top of the dpm?
If you bridge the DPM, you allow moisture up so it is always avoided to prevent damp walls.
Was that what you were referring to?
Do all single brick garages leak in water or is it that this one was built poorly. My garage is single brick and hasn’t leak at all yet
Hi Charlie. Thanks for the comment. Bricks are porous and soak in water. So most single brick skin garages could potentially get damp issues on the inside.
Did the blackjack work?
Hi yes I can confirm the works we carried out did work. I hope it helps
Can u do the whole garage floor in this paint
Hi Craig. Thanks for watching. Most damp proof paints can be used on concrete floors. Just double check the tin before you buy.
@@everlastbuilders thanks
I have water coming in from the bottom and at the top on the sides. Can can I solve that?
Hi Jessica thanks for watching. If water is getting threw on the top sides. It could be a roof issue, fascia,soffit issue, problem with gutters or hole in the Sand cement mortar. So very hard for me to suggest a solution. Feel free to email me some pics and I can try and advise. George. Info@everlastimprovements.co.uk
Can you do this on the inside as.i can't get around the outside
Yes mate it will definitely help!
What do you use to stop the water getting in?
My garage is single skin with no DPC would this still work?
Hi. You may want to paint the outside brickwork with a storm dry cream that will stop penetrating damp

Is the product breathable?
@@RUclipsuser1_me I would say no. It’s a really thick and goes rubber like when dry.
@@everlastbuilders thank you, so its possible for the moisture to be trapped?
Over garage has no dpm, would this help,
I have the same question
Is the bitumen still there? I want to paint one northern wall
Hi I’m sure it is. but I can’t lie I haven’t been back. No news good news I reckon. If you have to paint a whole wall you could try using a masonry protection cream. It’s clear rather than black. Good luck
How to do just from inside ?
Whats the product you use
3️⃣0️⃣7️⃣? 😂
In Wickes they do not sell this no more
