Bro I think you’ve gotta be the most famous bloke in construction, you’re doing so much good and educating countless people. Keep it up brother
I appreciate your support ❤️
I did my waterproofing qualification under Andrew Golle's training course a few years ago.
The guy has a wealth of knowledge. And he's a great guy too.
Hey mate, long time viewer, electrician. Love your work. Some of the new sound effects you are using for graphics are a little grating on the ear(ones when images disappear). Perhaps turn the volume on them down or switch it up to a nice polyphonic boop :) I was thinking if you had a short outro with your logo in your videos would be a nice finishing touch. Also when you find defects, explaining what you think they were trying to accomplish with the shortcut they took would be awesome. 80% of all townhouses / apartments I do work at in Melbourne all have had balcony leaking issues. All the best, Cosi
100% agree, just posted the same comment before I saw yours, also many watch videos faster speed as well (eg 1.5+) so makes the sound even worse
In the late 1980's the 2nd most common building system failure after foundation issues was wet area failures. Nothing has changed it seems...
Except now all house frames don't last water as it's untreated pine or china steel, Aussie hardwood lasts
The mysteries of the universe. Dark matter, string theory, waterproofing.
Did my cert 3 with Andrew on the Gold coast a few years back. Great bloke and every one should have to do the course. Waterproofing is one of the most important jobs, yet has the most slap happy cowboys doing it. No bond breakers, roll out 2 thin coats with a roller, but mask it up so it "looks Proper"
Did my Cert 3 in waterproofing with Andrew in Brisbane! Unreal teacher! It's great to hear him again! I wonder if he is still selling his Hot Hot Oscar!
Same here nsw, hho!
tassie here HOt HOT OSKA@@itsonlyafl3shwound
😂😂😂
The Hot Hot Oscar had so many guys in my class confused.
@@vzgsxr pmsl,, can only buy it in Tassie. I call it that today. nobody know WTF you are talking about
I told him that We just use water to cure Polys & MS products that cure quicker with moisture/humidity.
AG wasn’t happy as I wrecked his joke
Hey just a tip on your interviewing. It’s very common for speakers to do this. Try not to say “yep” after the interviewee makes a statement. It’s sort of like when someone says “uhm” when they are trying to give a speech. But if you go back and watch you can clearly see the habit of constantly saying “yep” and it can be a distraction to the interviewee and might even feel like you are interrupting them. With that said minor constructive criticism. I had the habit of doing this with a girl I dated and she hated it so I remember it fondly lol
Seems like the problem is pretty broad and far reaching, from the Architect's and designers, to the supervisors and builders, installer's and most disturbing the inspectors and people who sign of the progressing stages of the build. Are non of these people aware and up to date with the standards....!
UNBELIEVABLE!! Just a few minutes ago I was wondering when the next video would come out. Some say that men think about ancient Rome every day. I think about Site Inspections!!!
Should have asked him about Hot Hot Oscar.
As a young designer I can’t thank you enough! Keep the educational material coming. Very valuable.
I've learnt more about housing and construction since discovering this channel than the 100s of hours I've spent listening to tradies talk and whinge over my lifetime
Most tradies, especially older ones are too full of themselves. They think that because theyve been doing it a certain way for 40 years, it’s correct. I notice younger tradies are more open minded and welcome constructive critisism and work together to do things right.
AS 46542 is an engineering standard, poor adherence to Building standards are attributable to Engineers and Builders. Architects don't describe set downs and measurements for building components, never have and never will. See your friendly Engineer for these details.
Unenclosed showers and bathroom waterproofing - My house in Boston had an upstairs bathroom with 10" timber floorboards over the the living room. No waterproofing except for the enclosure Bath Shower, In fact it had a ventilation gate through the bathroom floor to living room to transfer heat and ventilation downstairs to upstairs. Been that way for 200 years not a spot of mould or water problems evident.
Oh and I uses a shower curtin.
I saw some plans on a house in Germany, every detail was covered, all the water proofing, expansion, ice protection was there. I asked what the lines were leading to the power points they looked at me like I was a complete idiot and said that shows where the power cables are routed. The electrician had to have the cables routed within millimetres of the design!
Andrew is clearly a seriously knowledgeable guy and it is hoped his training efforts translate into better on the job results. Over 20 years I had a leaking deck over a lounge room. Got the tiles pulled up and a new membrane (I was busy at work so was not there to see what was done). Paid some huge sum for this and after a few years it leaked again. In the meantime we were having some side cladding re-done and we noticed that the main balcony support was rotted. We whacked in a laminated structural support. Had we not ripped the cladding off we would never known. Using the principle: I'm not a gynaecologist but I'll take a look anyway, I was not going to rip the deck up again so I prepared the surface and bought some external membrane and put that down and put textured paving paint on it. In over 15 years it has not leaked apart from one time I ignored a flaw caused by full north sun over a long period. Provided I act on the flaws and apply the membrane and re-paint this actually works and has done so for at least 15 years (which is how long I have been retired). Andrew will probably be outraged by this sleazy "solution" but It has worked for me since I can monitor any obvious flaws and fix them.
Love theese videos where you interview tradespeople an go over specific issues with their trade. Keep it up!
I Think he holds more certificates than what my three drawer filing cabinet would hold… Yep, I THINK he may know what he’s talking about 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Zeher, Great video. I've been grappling with the wet area fall issue on the new NCC and its a headache... with the requirement of a floor waste outside the shower area, in some cases its not geometrically possible to have all the falls between 1:80 and 1:50 but it is drawn on the plan. what would you recommend you do in this case?
Great video. As a waterproofer I don't recommend waterproof only on top of screed for 2 reasons;
1) the adhesion onto screed isn't the best, regardless of the primer if the screed mix isn't correct.
2) if you ever need to change a tile, the waterproof is compromised.
Agreed.
Primary layer before screeds are crucial. What waterproofer doesn't do a primary layer? Idiots!
And screeds need to be dried and screeds should not be sandy before 2nd layer membrane is applied.
I understand what you guys are saying but a Hydrepoxy will consolidate screeds very well.
However, you should have an engineered screeds system that is correctly installed & not need it to be glued together with epoxy.
I’m a fan of multiple systems but people generally won’t pay for above & beyond.
Do what works for you & your customer…
Can you do an episode like this with roofing mate
Already have one, but another one is coming:

We need to go back to having onsite staged building inspections completed by the building surveyor as part of the build process. Then he or she is held financially responsible when the work of found to be not compliant and has been passed.
In Victoria they do have mandatory inspections. Building surveyors ignore waterproofing as it is not a mandatory inspection and, I’m sure they wouldn’t know what to look for.
You can tell the expert drinks non compliant beers after a inspection
Good video, I was wondering why are the Australian Standards are so expensive to purchase ? As a home owner I find it difficult to find the correct and update information on all the Australian Standards that apply to my build. I believe all the AS details should be free to public and therefore the builders and owners are well informed. Do you think we could generate a discussion about this and it could benefit the industry...... and Owners ?
Totally agree, and I've said this so many times, we should all have free access to all standards and codes. We also need access to the codes applicable at a certain date. It's fine knowing the code applicable today, but many of us want to know the code applicable when the house was built when challenging a builder who built a house 4 year ago.
Agree totally
About to do my first bathroom, Reno and this was what I wanted needed to hear. Thank you
New video. Let's gooooooo
i nearly got all the same qualifications as andrew. i also got the golden trowel when i done my qualifications
Very informative. Thanks. Q. If the flooring is vinyl, do you need membrane under or a waterstop at the door?
Hey Mate,
If you ever wanted to talk WHS, I'd be keen.
Great discussion, I am DIYing a bathroom and this is extremely good info
Question! 🙋♂️ did he mean max 1 in 80 and min 1 in 50? At approximately 31:03 he said the opposite. Thanks
Dry film thickness I believe use sheet membrane for guaranteed uniformity end of story
In the days when 10mm cement sheet was used all thru wet areas and plenty of silicone used correctly, I dont recall there being any issues of water leakages. When they moved to so called ""waterproof " plaster to save costs, to me thats when the problems started. In the old days there was no paintable membrane . Im a DIY person and have done many bathrooms over the years and none leak or have issues. Why? For one, I don't ever use blueboard plaster. I use only cement sheets on walls and floors and good use of silicone in the joins. The tiles are tiled onto cement sheets.Sure its more expensive, but the quality is far better. So mu advice to anyone doing bathrooms etc, use cement sheets in direct wet areas NOT blueboard plaster.
Agree 100% use of villaboard is far better and then applying waterproofing membrane
Why did you have 2 cameras with you both sitting a fair distance apart?
Wouldnt it have been easier, the both of you sitting closer under the one camera?
It would save you a lot of video-editing time.
The regulators need to get their acts together on this as well it seems. Waterproofing and roof drainage are critical to building work. Just what is industry supposed to do when there's conflicting information in published documents from different agencies - and in many cases, the agencies such as the VBA already know and acknowledge it but are not doing anything apparent to resolve the conflicts.
Question : if you have a frameless shower, it's technically fully enclosed with seals at the door, you can't put a waterstop 5mm above the floor because it's a triping hazard, so the waterstop is flush with the floor. So what to do with the rest of the bathroom floor ? do you need a fall to a second waste as per unenclosed shower ? or is a normal waterproofing of the floor is good enough ?
I have watched building/ Reno channels based in USA and the UK and their all
Major issues waterproofing of bathrooms!
One of the things that makes me cringe is Waterproofers/tilers who waterproof on screeds a day or 2 after screeding, not allowing at least 7 days for screeds to dry, seen it A LOT. I use to do bathroom reno's a lot, when I tell people how long the job takes, they question me, I tell them things have to dry.
We use a moisture meter before doing over screeds only way to do it
lower the sounds a bit when showing and removing an image please. :) great video, cheers
This those noises are so loud in my earphones. Love the content though! Champ
Will do next time, sorry 😅
PS
The audio version on apple/spotify/google have no effects fyi 😊
FYI, the audio is fading out from your microphone and the sound effects for the graphics are pretty severe on the ears and probably unnecessary.
👍👍👍
Great!
Hello lm a builder carpenter with 40 years experience . I hope you understand I have seen plenty of changes with the nnc.
Regarding the préfères structural substrate waterproofing over above screed water proofing
It was pointed out the screed isn’t structural so it will be great if you provide a performance solution with the 1:40 to 1:80 that is actually occurring rather than suggest waterproofing a non structural screed which isn’t a performance solution
Thanks
I have tiled for 37 years and have never used tile glue to bond a screed, the drying time would be affected before waterproofing
VBA "Particleboard may be used underneath a water-resistant system, provided that it complies with the structural and other relevant requirements under the NCC and will not damage or compromise the water-resistant system used above." So you can use particleboard under a water-resistant system such as fibre cement sheet flooring.
I am impressed. I've been watching your videos, and I admire your patience and up to date knowledge. With a few experiences myself with builders, homeowners need more people with your mentality. I wish you were here a year ago. A foundation "specialist" admitting the system he put our house on, he had no experience with or knew how it worked as their specialist from overseas had no chance to teach them. Zoom?
An idea. When mixing the components to make the screed a waterproofing additive is mixed in making the screed waterproof and then using a 6 inch wide arounf the perimeter wall?
So do you not require a water stop in door ways?
They are always required
Andrew is a good guy & I did my RPL in Qld with AG.
you would have so much work on bro love the content !
Great video
awesome content bro
Great video. Learning more. I’m a noob and would like definitions of descriptions, terminology etc. Substrate, what is a true water stop etc? If you could, can you explain what the terminology means and how to build an ideal bathroom (on ground level and upstairs in a home with a timber frame).
In other words, how should water proofing be built in a bathroom? Thanks and keep up the great work.
Pretty sure sika recommends both above and below on all screeds lol.
Got a link to your source for that info? Because that’s a lie.
@kizzjd9578 clearly you're not up to date with current standards, totally clueless, you do understand you can't post links in YT comments right? Or again totally clueless.... you're on a roll! Thankfully YT allows me to block you so you don't have to waste time on a nonsense reply you can go learn the standards....Woohoo!
Just did my waterproofing course with Andrew, great teacher and learnt that everything I thought I knew was wrong 😂.
Audio clipping is crazy
No such thing as “dry” rot. I expected better from an expert.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_rot
As a microbiologist, I can tell you dry rot is a real thing.
You’re wrong!
@@psyave
I reckon he means the term 'dry' rot is an old misnomer, which it is.
Love the idea of a sharp notch trail spreading glue over a soft cuttable waterproofing membrane....... 🤔
Dad was a tiler of 48 years and myself also a tiler. Half the problem is tilers dont use enough fall. When dad was tiling there was no waterproofing and very few water issues.
