You did a DIY on a house that doesn't just have a decking but a water tank slab? |

tonididdy:Why do you people like complicating your lives by putting water tanks on your decks? For such to work you have to do some quality damp proofing and it goes beyond plastering and tiling. There are spaces between tiles. Forget the cement used in fixing them, water will always find its way. Even the best damp proofing will eventually fail at some points. Take that tank off your roof and build an iron tank stand with angle iron components and then roof your building the traditional way. If you won't then get a very experienced specialist to damp proof your deck. Plastering it is a waste of time. |

When you employ people to build your house please have time to visit and inspect their works if not,this how it's gonna end. No matter how busy you are check their quotation. Because some will input 50 bags of cement only to use 32. Also give your house to quality builders not all these baba suliyat construction company. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My input though. |

tonididdy: It is sweating. It will cool down on your head soon if you dont pack your bags and run out of that house now! |
Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by tonididdy(m): 8:24am On Jun 19, 2020 |
chrisnando:Thanks very much for your contribution but the tanks are brand new and there are no pipes passing through the decking. This is caused by excessive heat. |
Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by Prinnce1: 8:24am On Jun 19, 2020 |
tonididdy:well I think it's water seepage, this occur when the water doesn't have were to discharge to when the GeePee tank is filled. My suggestion will be removing the tanks first, then a good Manson guy to shine the ground with cement to make it smooth this in turn stops water movement downward then get a discharge pipe to channel the water out from there too. Hope this helps. They are many alternative to solve this but what I mention is cheaper and faster. 1 Like |

Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by Utonwanne(m): 8:35am On Jun 19, 2020 |
tonididdy: Unless you used brown sandy soil for the plastering, the picture far more than 6 buckets of sand per bag |
Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by Mrjo(m): 8:36am On Jun 19, 2020 |
tonididdy:6inches is standard but not the cause of that another thing might be the height of the DPC. You have to try and complete the house to get Remedy |
Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by saintftm(m): 8:36am On Jun 19, 2020 |
That structure is weak. Their is no beam carrying your deck. The weight of the full tanks alone is a threat to the deck. Build stanctions and relocate the tanks. |
Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by FredLum: 8:37am On Jun 19, 2020 |
Remove the tanks, get a good tiler to fix tiles on it and make it slope properly, lastly get an outlet for the water to the ground. Had this same issue with my store that have tanks on it, I did the above and its fine now. |

wamiikechukwu: House can be built with gravel and rod. But you can’t build a house with cement alone. |

obiekunie2: Same experience I had with my former accommodation. Furnitures accumulate water over time and becomes mold, electronics are not spare too, it affects photographs and clothes over time. When cooking in the kitchen, the tiled wall would start dripping water. |
Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by tonididdy(m): 8:50am On Jun 19, 2020 |
captainjay:The beams are internal. |
Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by Shalz247: 8:50am On Jun 19, 2020 |
I am also experiencing this in one of the buildings i manage. I have no idea what to do |
Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by edrys(m): 8:51am On Jun 19, 2020 |
tonididdy:Oga, God will bless you, go and roof your building. That structure looks like my former accommodation. I had a very bad experience. |
Re: What Is Happening To My Decking? by tonididdy(m): 8:52am On Jun 19, 2020 |
jogsman01: Yes there are about 5 slabs (beams) running through the area where the tanks are and another central beam. All internal.... My engineer actually drew and supervised this structure along with myself |
