Oh my goodness. Thank god for this guy! We need more genuine people like him calling out the fraudsters and cowboys . There’s so many types of damp it has to be ascertained first to establish the right course of action. Could be as simple as ventilation or as complex as stuctural tanking or subsidence. Even the allegedly “qualified” give different causes and reasons. Unless you establish the cause and treat that correctly, it will just come back.
Spot on
That’s Mark Hep in your video he is a decent bricklayer
That’s good to know ☝️
bring back Roger 😅😂😢😅😅😂🎉
Lots of negative comments about his diagnosis and how he’s repaired it etc. what tradesmen/ women seem to forget is that most of us have to take your word for what you tell us is wrong and we wouldn’t have a bloody clue if you were repairing it right or wrong in the first place. I thought he did a good job. In time, I guess you would see how effective the job has been. There are loads of sh*t so called experts out there doing building work, as there are so called car mechanics. On a positive note it was good to listen to your views on what he was doing,and maybe how it could have been done better. One big factor is what people are charged to do the job, there are a lot of people in desperate situations trying to get the best they can for the little money they have.
The video was because he got the stuff for free from Safeguard saying he was treating rising damp and it was totally mis diagnosed which is the biggest problem in our industry. He kept saying he wasnt a professional which for me makes it worse.
@@dampsam How do ordinary people know when they are being mis diagnosed? Not everyone is as honest as yourself. Nowadays there so many videos on line offering advice, it’s really hard to know if your being steered in the wrong direction.
I can’t find the Facebook group why’s my property damp. Is that what it’s called Sam? Cheers
It’s now called damp black mould and condensation help group
Just came across this channel and it's brilliant! I'll definitely be watching the back catalogue. I never realised how many so called professionals are getting it wrong and Damp Sam calls them out with humour and respectfully. It's a fascinating subject and it's great that people like Sam are passing on their experience and educating all of us so that we can avoid getting ripped off because as you can see there are so many people that just don't know what they're doing when it comes to solving damp problems. Love this channel, thank Sam the You Tube community needs more people like you. 👍
Hi Sam, I have a non load bearing internal wall with rising damp, the wall is not brick but it’s orange cast blocks, can I use the rods rather than the liquid injection that is being used in this video. Thank you for your videos and opinions, much appreciated
Yes if it’s definitely rising damp
So basically you've just ripped that lad for nowt.
Have I? Oh I do apologies I hope everyone can put a 30second clip from a 30min film into context like you, it’s a real super power you have there. They should make a film about you🤔
could be where the dogs being rubbing its ass up the wall i surely he's going to rip the skirt off to see whether there's a breach each issue or bridging
Damp Sam. Why in your opinion do people say Rising Damp isn't real? It seems to be a really big question in damp proofing.
Ignorance and wanting to believe it’s a scam we are all in on, some also make money from it
what you were saying about lifting the gripper rods, I'd want to be doing that and the floor board to look at the joists.
He was just guessing this lad
not meant to wallpaper fresh plaster for six weeks
it looks like the plaster down to the floorboards Eva condensation or a bridging issue
Glad I found your channel. I am a DIYer and it is so useful to get experienced advise especially when there is SO many youtubers giving tutorials.
what about the stuff is left on below skirt in Lines
No one's work is good enough for damp Sam.
You know lad top 1% ☝️
Especially Rogers!😂
I think lime plaster inside would be better than plaster board and the outside looks a bit high with flag stones
Any one else notice he sealed the airel behind the plasterboard
That brickwork is dry as a bone. The only problem with this was condensation.. yet again fraudulent rising damp diagnosis.
He was guessing Daza 😡
@@dampsam that's the problem...he shouldn't be allowed to. About time the industry was only allowed to sell products to those who can demonstrate at least ten years practical experience and knowledge. You have this wally on one side selling unnecessary treatment and Peter Ward on the other advocating lime plaster for everything. In the middle you have folk who can't really afford either !
@@darrensmith7853 Peter ward is god with this shit ! I knew you’d seen him when you said “Wally” I’ve been plastering 36 years and learned exactly how much of a fucking joke this rising damp bollocks is by his videos! (Plus the fact I’m a baddass spread myself lol)
@@steved6472 he is God with the over selling and incorrect diagnosis of rising damp..although his survey fee reflects that 🤣
36 years is a long long time...your shoulders must have earned a rest by now. Unfortunately, the money earned from a diagnosis will never stop...far too many ignorant folk in the 🇬🇧
So mark did a good job you cant say for sure if his diagnosis was wrong he fits plaster board the wrong way cos its not your way if we all left it to the pros pay through the nose while the little guy gets job seekers
Good point
look how hi the slabs are to the damp course you should be able to see the old slate damp course the slabs are outside
the dry zone will not guarantee if you don't use there stuff
Any guarantee is with the installer, forget about product guarantees that was a massive failure in the 70s 80s & 90s when builders gave people the product guarantee and didn’t explain it didn’t cover the system only the additive and only if it was installed correctly
Funnily enough I watched this video of Mark earlier today without knowing the existence of this channel and I pretty much drew the same conclusions.He did a sound job but it looked to me like the level had been raised too high on the path outside. Could have done with a channel cutting and filling with gravel for a clear, well drained, breakline.
Give over 🥴
also surely sand cement would of been better then plasterboard which would absorb any moisture already in wall
No you need to know how moisture affect walls, this is a great system
@@dampsam cool i was always led to believe that you dont use board in a precious situation, thankyou learning all the time lol
@@dampsam isn't sand and cement in bs6576
No mention of boarding after damp works?
Check for cavity insulation surely? Porus brick external
Id say no
@@dampsam you wouldn't check a cavity with a bay? I find they get clogged up especially if it's had new windows,reveals plastered etc?
an old boy told me to use external holidays if that is waterproof to stick the boards on with and never cover the holes I shall cause a breach and if you screwing and plugging the scar ins back on make sure you drill above the holes
Holidays ?
Hi Simon, great video, is bitumen okay on the external side?
No is the quick answer
@@dampsam off it comes then! Is there ‘best’ way to do remove it and I’m guessing it should be something breathable to replace such as a cream like stormguard ?
Bore off 👍🏻
You know lad
would you of put a vertical barrier in where the new work meets the old work
You could but it’s not a rising damp issue but if it was you would
@@dampsam cool got 1 right lol
Do a reaction video on that “Peter Ward” cowboy! Bisby has been slammed enough?
Done one ☝️
i fact you drill every 100 mill
Good stat
Nice vid fella keep um coming👌
Thanks Barry 👍
Damp Sam from tarn 👍🏻
Nice one
good video again sam !
Thanks again!
👍👍👍
Would it not b a better job to use moisture resistant boards on. ?
No, water vapour needs to be able to pass through easily
That is Mark Hep, a well respected and talented bricklayer / builder. Certainly NOT A COWBOY!! PRAT!
Tell him to stick to laying then 🔔🔚
😂
