Hi,
I bought a house, thought a 9 meter long garage was a bonus - It's a total disaster though.
The felt roof leaks which is not too bad, it must be 10 years overdue replacing. Just going to stick box profile roofing on it.
What took me by surprise if that the garage leaks from the bottom. Water seems to seep in from the join between the bricks and the concrete base. Assume it's a dodgy build, I can see where people have tried to fix this for themselves with what looks like tanking slurry. Bits of this are just crumbling away at the moment.
My question is how would you go about resolving the leak at base level?
Initial thought was a new DPM and raise the floor by 1-2 inches with fresh concrete. Not sure if this would work though, just basing it off a you tube video I saw.
Any advice or success Tories with similar issues would be appreciated.
