What is probably as important as consistent compaction is the design
of the footings and the actual digging and pouring is equally as
important. Firstly footings should be designed according to the nature
of the soil. For example you would not design the same size footing when
building in clay soils as you would if you were to build on sandy well
drained soil.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspection-service-perth/" target="_blank">Building Inspection Perth</a><br />
<br />
It has always been our advise to firstly sample and categorise the
soil, if you are to build on clay or loamy soil, especially where
drainage is poor. This will then determine the type of <a href="https://bhisau.wordpress.com/2016/06/01/footing-design-for-home/" target="_blank">footing design</a>
for the home and will minimize any settling or cracking that would
normally occur.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/pre-purchase-building-inspections-perth/" target="_blank">Pre Purchase Building Inspections Perth</a><br />
<br />
Well we now have got, consistent compaction and a footing, designed
specifically for the soil and a slab to match. The next step is to
examine the perimeter masonry walls to see if and what type of settling
cracks have occurred if any.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/property-inspections-perth-wa/" target="_blank">Property Inspection Perth WA</a><br />
<br />
The settling cracks that are visible on the brick work or internal
walls are a signature or blue print as to what has occurred under the
slab.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/professional-building-home-inspections-perth/" target="_blank">Professional Building Inspections Perth </a><br />
<br />
The walls are a reflection or and indication as to the stability of
the foundation. Below are some diagrams showing the different type of
cracks that can occur and why.<br />

It goes like this, before you buy something, and a friend had
described it to you in detail ”warts and all”, it would have helped in
shaping your ideas in the purchase of that something.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/home-inspection-perth/" target="_blank">Home Inspection services Perth</a><br />
<br />
Well the same goes for when buying a car or a house. These are major
purchases for most people and for some it is the single most important
investment in their live. This being the case then, would it then not
make sense that before buying, some one thoroughly checks out your
proposed purchase before a final commitment is made on paper in the form
of an offer to purchase. Preferably a mate in the building industry or a<a href="https://bhisau.wordpress.com/2016/05/03/what-to-inspect-when-buying-a-home/" target="_blank"> professional inspection</a> institution can be called upon to give an
unbiased opinion based on the structural nature of the building.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/contact-us/" target="_blank">Professional Home Inspections Perth</a><br />
<br />
The things that a buyer should be aware of is that firstly the
foundation, walls and roof construction are sound, as theses components
constitute the shell and anything else is purely cosmetic.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/pre-purchase-building-inspections-perth/" target="_blank">Building Inspection services Perth</a><br />
<br />
Firstly the foundations:- If they are Limestone, then one would have
to appreciate that they are large chunks of rock, shaped and placed into
a hand dug trench and mortared into position, there was never any
compaction carried out to the soil below the first laid limestone, hence
the ground could move and settle as the weight of the walls was placed
upon the Limestone. Large homes were built upon the limestone
foundations and later the settling took place and was and still is
evidenced in settling cracks noted on wall.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/professional-building-home-inspections-perth/" target="_blank">Professional Building Inspections WA</a><br />
<br />
These days we build the foundations a different way, mostly it is a
concrete perimeter beam and a floating slab is resting on top of these
footings. This latter method is built on soil that has been compacted to
a uniform compaction. If this compaction is not uniform then uneven
settling can be the major source of settling cracks, as the foundation
settles under the weight of the walls and roof. The importance of
uniform compaction is so vital that theoretically, if the compaction was
uniform then no settling would occur.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/independent-building-inspections-services-perth/" target="_blank">Independent Building Inspections Perth</a><br />
<br />
The importance of keeping the perimeter foundation at a constant
moisture level is equally as important since a constant change in
concentrated moisture levels content will cause the soils supporting the
perimeter footing beam to move. This movement is transferred to the
walls and settling cracks appear over windows and doors as these are the
most vulnerable areas. So it is important that the down pipes are
connected to soakwells which are at least 1.8 meters away from any
footing.<br />

<br />
Ok lets continue where we left of in the last article, on the fact and fiction about roof tiles.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/property-inspections-perth-wa/" target="_blank">Property Inspection Perth WA</a><br />
<br />
If you are worried about the usage of concrete tiles when collecting
rain water, well there is nothing to worry about as we are assured that
the surface of the concrete tile is a suitable surface from which to
gather water for drinking, and best results are achieved when an
appropriate collection system is fitted.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/blog/">Building Inspection Perth WA</a><br />
<br />
If you are building near the coast you also need not worry, as the
prolonged exposure of concrete tiles have a proven record of resistance
to corrosive atmospheres.<br />
Similarly in tropical conditions the added weight of a concrete roof
helps to counteract wind uplift during storms making it less susceptible
to damage than some other roofing materials.<br />
Normally concrete tiles require very little if any maintenance due
to their exceptional durability, if some is required then only the
affected tile will need to be replaced.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/professional-building-home-inspections-perth/">Professional Building Inspections Perth</a><br />
<br />
Cleaning of the tiles is also not a necessity but Lichen and moss
can be removed by high pressure jet water sprays or by the application
of a specific chemical formula sold for this purpose of removing the
lichen and moss. In fact the formula for the magic potion is this:- 200
grams of copper sulphate, to 4.5 litres of water The average roof will
need ten times this amount, the solution is broomed onto the offending
areas and eradication will take place over the following couple of
months and it should be left to work on its own as the moss and lichen
will gradually disappear. On <a href="https://bhisau.wordpress.com/2016/04/25/why-concrete-tiles-for-roof/" target="_blank">porous tiles the solution</a> has a residual
affect as it remains and inhibits any future or early re-growths.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/contact-us/" target="_blank">Professional Home Inspections Perth</a><br />
<br />
When using copper sulphate solutions be careful that metalwork such
as guttering is protected to prevent corrosive action. Gutters should
be filled with water by blocking the downpipes as any solution running
into the gutter will be extremely diluted and not affect the metal
gutter.<br />
By comparison concrete tiles are very affordable and generally cost
less than metal or clay covering, on most profiles the fit is neat and
even, but the coating that is applied to the tiles is still subject to
weathering and will eventually wear off and needs re-painting.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/pre-purchase-building-inspections-perth/" target="_blank">Building Inspection services Perth</a><br />
<br />
So myths like, Lichen and Moss will eat into your tiles and
weathering of the original surface coating makes old tiles porous, is
all a lot of old wife’s tales and scare tactics, invented by itinerant
traders.<br />
<br />
Every so often we would like to publish questions with answers that
our readers may have on renovating or building, so please share your
comments.</div>

<br />
The other day I spoke to a gentleman who asked me, to confirm to him
that he needs to replace his concrete tiles on his house with clay
tiles, I questioned his rationale and a mountain of misleading
statements flowed from his mouth, perhaps the most memorable was that
“as concrete tiles become older they start to leak and there is nothing
short of replacing them with clay tiles”<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/professional-building-home-inspections-perth/" target="_blank">Professional Home Inspections</a><br />
<br />
I must say I have heard many such rumour floating around, all of
which I am hopefully about to dispelled. I decided to see if the
concrete tile manufacturers have become aware of these rumours and what
if any, their official response was?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspections-services-perth-wa/">Building Inspection specialists </a><br />
<br />
After talking to several people connected to the concrete tile
industry, a brochure was mailed to us prophetically titled “THE FACTS ON
CONCRETE TILES”<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/independent-building-inspections-services-perth/">Independent Building Inspections</a><br />
<br />
I will summarise and add some of our own comments to the questions and topics covered in this brochure.<br />
“ARE CONCRETE TILES DURABLE?”<br />
The modern manufacturing process makes the tiles exceptionally
durable, they are manufactured to Australian standards and the physical
properties of <a href="https://bhisau.wordpress.com/2016/04/22/tips-choosing-roof-tile-for-your-home/" target="_blank">concrete</a> will remain unchanged well in the excess of fifty
or more years, irrespective of climatic conditions.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/property-inspections-perth-wa/">Property Inspection</a><br />
<br />
Concrete actually becomes stronger with time and remember concrete is
the preferred material for major structures such as bridges and high
rise towers because of its inherent qualities of strength and longevity,
additionally it out last other roof cover materials as it does not rust
or corrode.<br />
“DO CONCRETE TILES ABSORB WATER AND THEREFORE DOUBLE IN WEIGHT?” No
this is incorrect and a myth. The Australian standards AS1757-1989
actually specifies a maximum water absorption of only 10% per total
immersion in water for 24 hrs. In practice the absorption of water by
capillary action during periods of heavy rain would increase the weight
of the tile by around 5%. Contrary to claims of some roofing companies,
this weight increase is unlikely to cause structural roof or stump
failure.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/pre-purchase-building-inspections-perth/">Pre Purchase Building Inspections </a><br />
<br />
“DOES WEATHERING OF THE ORIGINAL TILE COATING MAKE TILES POROUS?” Not
true. The colour coating is purely decorative and is not designed as a
water proofing film. As in most water proof purpose made concrete,
water proofing is achieved by using carefully selected, formulated,
batched and graded materials which are then compacted during
manufacture. This then produces a concrete product of high density and
strength which naturally keeps out water.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspection-service-perth/">Building Inspector</a><br />
<br />
“ARE CONCRETE TILES FIRE RESISTANT” yes they are totally
incombustible and fully fire resistant according to ASTM (USA)E108-88
tests, there is no comparable test available in Australia.<br />
“WHAT ABOUT THERMAL AND SOUND INSULATION” Tiles take longer to heat
up and tiled roofs usually have a larger volume roof spaces which
“breathe” so houses with tiles roofs stay cooler longer, but once the
heat build up accumulates for long periods, it also works in reverse
that it takes longer to cool down.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/home-and-building-inspection-services/">Home Inspection reports</a><br />
<br />
Due to the greater mass of concrete tiles they do provide a better
sound insulating quality than metal roofing, they help to reduce to
noise intrusion in particular caused by rain and hail.<br />

caused by rain penetrating solid masonry walls, below are some of their
invaluable findings and suggestions which are worth passing on.<br />
Single-leaf construction cannot be expected to be water-tight, especially if it is subjected to wind-driven rain. If the wall thickness is increased it should be more resistant to rain penetration, but poor workmanship in the form of unfilled joints and un-tooled face joints can result in walls that are prone to dampness despite their thickness and apparent solidity.<br /><br />Often people seek a quick and easy “<a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspection-service-perth/" target="_blank">brush-on</a>” treatment, preferably to be applied from the inside, but we consider the latter to be unrealistic and a false economy. External treatment aimed at preventing the masonry from becoming damp in the first place is a more sound approach. Some possibilities are described:<br /><br /> <span id="goog_1736121812"></span><span id="goog_1736121813"></span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfKvt3vQH-I/VkGL39OiYiI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/wM2u-VII_uY/s1600/brush2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfKvt3vQH-I/VkGL39OiYiI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/wM2u-VII_uY/s1600/brush2.png" style="cursor: move;" /></a> SILICONE TREATMENT<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Silicone formulations brushed or sprayed onto porous surfaces make them water repellent, so that water then runs down treated walls instead of being absorbed. There is a risk in this, however, because fissures wider than hairline crack are not bridged by these materials. The increased amount of water running down the wall during a shower can result in more water<a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspections-services-perth-wa/" target="_blank"> penetrating</a> the wall, via such fissures, than before the treatment. With this in mind walls should be examined carefully, and repaired if necessary, before silicone is applied. Silicones deteriorate in sunlight and periodic reapplication is required if the wall is to remain water repellent.<br /><br /> <br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-12I2jIzkBbc/VkGMWjpkDSI/AAAAAAAAARA/Nc40SS4-3dk/s1600/shovel6.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-12I2jIzkBbc/VkGMWjpkDSI/AAAAAAAAARA/Nc40SS4-3dk/s1600/shovel6.png" /></a> CEMENT-BASED PAINT<br />
<br />This is a useful treatment. Two coats should be applied on the wall after the necessary preparation. A minimum preparation would be to repair gaps and defects in the mortar joints, but in practice “<a href="http://bhis.com.au/home-and-building-inspection-services/" target="_blank">bagging</a>” of the whole wall is advisable. A mixture of 1:4 cement: plasterer’s sand is suggested for this, the wall being “wetted down” before starting.<br /><br /> <br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-svDKzaLResU/VkGM2DHOf2I/AAAAAAAAARI/B-afw219pyw/s1600/paint72.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-svDKzaLResU/VkGM2DHOf2I/AAAAAAAAARI/B-afw219pyw/s1600/paint72.png" /></a>ORGANIC PAINTS<br />
<br />If organic paints are to be used “bagging” is an essential preparation. As long as the paint film is intact the system will be effective, but once cracking starts water will be trapped behind the <a href="http://bhis.com.au/home-inspection-perth/" target="_blank">paint</a>. This water will take a long time to evaporate and, under adverse conditions, the wall can become progressively damper. In any case the life of the paint system there-after is likely to be short.<br /><br /><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U2JDABomibg/VkGNAYLmIJI/AAAAAAAAARQ/5zQLaPWbtfg/s1600/worker20.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U2JDABomibg/VkGNAYLmIJI/AAAAAAAAARQ/5zQLaPWbtfg/s1600/worker20.png" /></a> RENDERING<br />
<br />This treatment is virtually permanent and should be effective in all but the most severe conditions. For resistance to rain penetration a rough-textured and porous rendering is normally more effective than a dense and impermeable plain finish. Suitable cement: l lime: sand mixes are given in the British Standard Code of Practice CP 221, “External rendered finishes”, available from the Standards Association of <a href="http://bhis.com.au/independent-building-inspections-services-perth/" target="_blank">Australia</a>.<br /><br />The discussions and hint given above will suit most homes that have damp problems, in fact silicone treatment seems to be the most popular, especially in the case where the external walls are face bricks.<br /><br />If you have any further questions please call our office.<br />

<br />By:Peter Huber<br />Posted By:<a href="http://bhis.com.au/" target="_blank">bhis.com</a><br />Source: <a href="http://bhis.com.au/2013/02/wall-coverings-and-mould-stains/" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/1iIkPO6</a><br /><br />Vinyl wall coverings (vinyl laminated to paper or fabric) have become very popular over the last few years, largely because they are more easily cleaned than the uncoated open-textured types. Yet it is just this impervious, otherwise-desirable surface that sometimes creates a mould problem.<br />
<br /><a href="https://bhisau.wordpress.com/2015/09/14/best-wall-coverings-practices-property-inspection-perth-wa/" target="_blank">Pre Purchase Building Inspections Perth </a> <br />
<br />In one home examined by the Division of <a href="http://bhis.com.au/home-inspection-perth/" target="_blank">CSIRO</a>, red and purple stains were found to be showing through from behind a light coloured vinyl wall covering within two weeks of application. The stains, which originated in the paste layer, were identified as a type of mould. The key factor in this rapid mould growth was the fact that paste had been sandwiched between a painted wall and a sub-substantial vinyl membrane.<br />
<br /><a href="http://bhis.com.au/pre-purchase-building-inspections-perth/" target="_blank">Pre Purchase Building Inspections Perth </a> <br />
<br />On one hand, the impervious vinyl layer prevented evaporation of moisture from the paste layer while on the other hand, the painted background drastically reduced absorption of water into the wall. Thus, the paste was kept moist long enough for mould growth to start. Had an adhesive offering less nourishment to moulds been used, mould growth would have been unlikely. Similarly, had the wall covering been a plain paper or one of the “spongeable” wallpapers (papers with a very thin plastic film on the surface), or one of the “breathable” vinyls, mould growth would again have been unlikely since such coverings “breathe”, enabling the paste to dry by evaporation.<br />
<br /><a href="http://bhis.com.au/property-inspections-perth-wa/" target="_blank">Pre Purchase Building Inspections Perth </a><br />
<br />When hanging wall coverings of solid vinyl sheet laminated to paper, it is a wise precaution to apply a fungicidal wash such as two percent sodium hypochlorite solution to the wall before sizing it with a dilute solution of a cellulose adhesive with fungicide added. For best results manufacturers suggest applying lining paper to the wall before finally hanging the wall covering, using the heavy-duty cellulose adhesive for both operations. In the case of mould staining described above the vinyl wall overing had been hung, without a preliminary fungicidal ash, using a starch paste (instead of a cellulose adhesive) with fungicide added. Obviously this was not enough protection.<br />
<br /><a href="http://bhis.com.au/independent-building-inspections-services-perth/" target="_blank">Pre Purchase Building Inspections Perth </a><br />
<br />When the weather is very cold and damp the cellulose adhesive may take a long time to set, so an acrylic-reinforced latex adhesive might be advisable under such conditions, to avoid lifting of the seams. Alternatively, he cellulose adhesive could be used and, if the seams do lift, they could be bonded to the wall with the latex. When hanging wall coverings of vinyl sheet laminated to fabric, only the specially formulated adhesives recommended by the manufacturers should be used.<br />
<br /><a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspections-services-perth-wa/" target="_blank">Pre Purchase Building Inspections Perth </a><br />
<br />Normally, coverings are not hung on absorbent surfaces. Manufacturers recommend that bare surfaces be painted with a flat oil paint, and it has been assumed in the above that this has been done.<br /><br />For now till next week when we will discuss<br /><br />“RAIN PENETRATION OF SOLID MASONARY WALLS”<br />your “Handy Jock”.<br /><br />Any questions that our readers may have would be gladly welcomed and endeavoured to be answered as seen fit.<br /><br /><br />Source: <a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspection-service-perth/" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/1iIkPO6</a></div>

<span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It is better to
provide some continuous background heating rather than short burst of heating.
Continuous heating allows wall and ceiling surfaces to warm up and stay warm,
which greatly reduces the risk of condensation. On cold days try to keep inside
air temperatures at least 5oC higher than outside air temperatures.</span></div>

<span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The risk of condensation
is considerably reduce in any room if walls and ceiling are insulated, because
it allows these surfaces to reach a higher temperature. For an existing house
it may not be practical to insulate walls, but ceilings can usually be easily
insulated. Apart from reducing the risk of condensation and mould growth,
insulation will substantially reduce heating costs.</span></div>

Well, we’re here to help make sure of that!<i> <a href="http://bhis.com.au/home-inspection-perth/" target="_blank">Building and Home Inspection Service</a></i> currently has five offices spread around the wider Perth metropolitan area, all of which draw on a wealth of experience to ensure that your home is thoroughly inspected with the most up-to-date equipment and reports digitally collated for your future reference.<br /><br />
<i>Professional Building Inspections Perth</i><br />Common Problems with Building Integrity<br /><br /><b>1) Termite Infestation and Damage</b><br /><br />This is one problem you never want to let get out of hand. Termites just love untreated pine and will turn <a href="http://bhis.com.au/2015/08/have-your-home-professionally-inspected-before-selling/" target="_blank">structural timbers</a> to dust in months if left unchecked. We will endeavor to find their trails, any timber that has been affected from ceiling supports to floor joists, and record all the sites photographically and in your written report.<br /><br /><b>2) Foundation Settling</b><br /><br />A common problem with suspended houses – those on stumps – but also on concrete slab foundations are cracks that appear as a house settles, or as the ground dries out or becomes wetter over years. Cosmetic or structural repairs are called for, but in terms of selling your home, so long as the issue is catalogued, no-one can complain they didn’t know what they were buying.<br />
<br /><a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspection-service-perth/" target="_blank"><i>Professional Building Inspections Perth</i></a><br />The movement of buildings can also result in problems with main lines in and out of the structure. While electricity and gas are not usually a problem, due to the malleability of the materials used, even modern day PVC pipes are susceptible to fracture. This can result in leakage from waste pipes wherever the connection becomes stressed – even in the wall cavity of your home.<br /><b><br />3) Construction Short-cuts</b><br /><br />We don’t want to seem overly critical, but even the width of mortar joins between bricks must meet a minimum standard – too much mortar compromises the structural integrity of the wall. Elsewhere, poorly secured flooring can result in buckling of <a href="http://bhis.com.au/2015/08/have-your-home-professionally-inspected-before-selling/" target="_blank">verandah floors</a>, or the use of untreated or uncured, water-sensitive wood close to down-pipes can result in much the same thing.<br />
<br /><i>Professional Building Inspections Perth</i><br />All these and many, many more criteria are examined and checked with a Building Inspection reports Perth – there is one for your budget and building, no matter where in Perth you are located. Call one of our offices today! or else go to:www.bhis.com.au/contact-us/ <br /><br />Source:<a href="http://bhis.com.au/contact-us/" target="_blank">www.bit.ly/1NzosBy</a><br />

Typical quantities of water vapor produced in a home are:-<br /><br /> Adults breathing 0.1 liters/hr<br /> Hot Bath 1.5 liters/hr<br /> Washing Machine 3.0 liters/hr<br /> Clothes Drier 5.0 liters/hr<br /> Hot Shower 10.0 liters/hr<br /><br />Water vapor is also generated in large quantities by gas stoves/hot plates and kerosene heaters so much so that a lot of water may be stored in the air each day as water vapour.<br />
<br /><a href="http://bhis.com.au/category/diy/" target="_blank"><i>Building Inspection specialists Perth:</i></a><br />On cold days much of this water will condense (if the ventilation rate is low) on cold window panes and even on walls. Little wonder then when some house holders complain of mold, decay and damp carpets.<br /><br />Steam coming from service areas such as kitchens laundries and bathrooms travel to other rooms in the house, even if these rooms are a considerable distance away. The worst condensation problems generally occur in unheated rooms facing south which receive little heat from the sun. The movement of the water vapour within the air (using the air as a travel medium) travelling from service areas to other rooms such as bedrooms is due to the difference in water vapour pressure.<br /><br />Condensation in new homes<br /><br />Severe <a href="http://bhis.com.au/contact-us/" target="_blank">condensation</a> problems often occur in new homes as construction moisture is stored in the bricks floor etc. in addition to the moisture generated by the occupants. It will take about six to 12 months for the water to evaporate. Some of this moisture will be lost to the outside air by natural ventilation and much will find its way into other rooms in the house.<br />
<i><br />Building Inspection specialists Perth:</i><br />If moist air from the rooms is exhausted into the roof space, sever condensation may occur within the roof space causing costly damage to ceilings, roof members and insulation materials.<br /><br /> Poorly vented pitched tiled roofs with aluminium foil sarking directly beneath the tiles. To reduce the risk of condensation, ventilation should be provided in the eaves and gable ends.<br /> Flat metal deck or cathedral roofs. On no account should moist air be exhausted into these roof spaces. It should be carried by flues passing right through the roof space (or external walls) to the outside air.

<br />
Improving Sub-Floor Ventilation<br />
<br />
We will look at improving sub-floor ventilation which if not done correctly can be a cause of decay to timber components.<br />
<br />
The other day we were asked to inspect an older style home in Nedlands it was a grand old mansion with timber flooring through out, massive ceilings space and it was oozing with old world charm. Generally the home was in good shape some of the roof timber were showings signs of sag and ageing but one room in particular was extremely cold, and it almost reminded me of the spooky stories one reads about cold rooms in haunted homes, but no such luck.<br />
It turned out, after removing the inspection (male/female) opening in between the floor joists, it was obvious why the room was so cold.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/home-inspection-perth/" target="_blank"><i>Building Inspections reports Perth:</i></a><br />
<br />
For starters the distance between the ground and the floor was very close, the home was on a sloped block, and sub-floor ventilation was minimal. I will insert some data facts as supplied by CSIRO to us, on how to improve the subfloor ventilation with some interesting and commonsense applications, but you may well ask what has a sloping block to do with it, well when water via rain is deposited around the perimeter of a house if the home sits on a flat block of land the water will seep into the ground vertically down, if the block is sloped the water that may pond in areas can and will flow down the hill and seep into the ground as it progresses down the incline of the land and hence we get damp and moisture under areas that would mot normally get damp on a level block.<br />
<br />
Now the <a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspection-service-perth/" target="_blank">CSIRO</a> Division receives an steady stream of requests for advise on prevention and correction of decay in flooring and in the majority of cases the problem is one of inadequate subfloor ventilation, that is for a free flow of air under all parts of suspended timber floors.<br />
<br />
In older buildings the problem can be complicated by an ineffective dam-proof course, by leakages from water supplies or wastes or by the discharge of storm water into the sub-floor cavity, further more in older buildings the provisions for under-floor ventilation is often inadequate.<br />
<br />
<i>Building Inspections reports Perth:</i><br />
<br />
We shall take a case in point, where in a double brick dwelling circa(1920) most of the timber flooring had to be renewed. During the repairs the size and numbers of openings in the brickwork below floor level was increased because, with a few exceptions, the only provisions originally provided for <a href="http://bhis.com.au/category/diy/" target="_blank">ventilation </a>was the openings in the brick work beneath the doorways. Before the new flooring was laid, extra openings were provided within one(1) to two(2) meters of every corner of every room and midway along any wall over five(5) meters long. Each of the new openings occupied the space of at least two bricks.<br />
<br />
In addition because of the low sub-floor clearance and the difficulty of providing good cross ventilation, plastic sheeting was spread out over the ground and under all new flooring so as to reduce the area from which soil moisture could evaporate into the sub-floor cavity. Mortar droppings and other debris were removed from the inside of all external ventilator openings and finally the ventilators themselves were replaced.<br />
<br />
Replacement of the ventilators was an essential part of the repairs. Surprisingly the smaller of the original terracotta vents provided for rather more free airway than the double brick size, even though the latter had one more opening. However in practice, nether allowed for much air exchange between the subfloor space and the outside because the openings had been blocked by spiders and assorted debris. The pressed metal vents that were used to replace the original terra-cotta air bricks allow for about ten(10) times as much air flow through each opening. This together with the other measures taken should ensure that conditions conducive to decay do not develop again under that floor.<br />
<br />
Adequate subfloor ventilation is also an essential requirement which is often overlooked when remedying the problem of excessive dampness in walls, by effectively ventilating all subfloor cavities, moisture that evaporates from the soil or the foundation is removed and the sub-floor humidity is prevented from rising. However achieving an airflow across or along the sub-floor space can be difficult in some houses, especially in terraces where there can be problems in providing vents at both ends of the house.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bhis.com.au/building-inspection-service-perth/" target="_blank"><i>Building Inspections reports Perth:</i></a><br />
<br />
In case like that the Division often recommends the utilisation of disused fireplaces as a means of venting. If decorative facing is placed over the front of a fireplace openings cut through the hearth to the sub-floor space and a cowling or chimney pot placed on top of the chimney then a n up-draught will be created when the wind blows over the roof and air will be drawn from under the floor.<br />
<br />

It apparently is not straight forward, since if the mechanical method is used, that is, injecting silicon liquid under pressure, then if the mortar is friable and the bricks are old and crumbly(Spalding) there is a good chance that they may fall apart or out, due to the Pressure that is used (between 50 to 120 psi) during the injection method. Hence the more Passive method comes into it’s own.<br />

<br /><br />He also said that to perform a quality job the plaster needs to be removed and skirting which may be in the way all these will eventually have to be replaced and are reasonably costly items, but the choices are very limited.<br /><br />Requirements for Damp-proof coursing and flashing materials are covered in detail in the AUSTRALIAN Standards 2904-1986<br />In fact if building a new home and the <a href="http://building-home-inspection-servic-perth.weebly.com/blog/professional-home-inspections-perth-how-to-cure-rising-damp-part-two" target="_blank"><i>Builder </i></a>is registered with the Builders Registration Board, a directive from the Board has been issued to the builders to make sure that all shower cubicles are water tight and that the home built in general does not leak as it will be the Builders responsibility for 6 years.<br /><br />In summary the main causes for rising damp in older homes are, the break down of the original damp proofing needing chemical intervention) In newly built homes, poor quality and control of workmanship is usually the cause. There is no excuse with today’s technology, know how and information to have a damp or leaking abode.<br /><br />Source: <a href="http://bhis.com.au/2012/10/how-to-cure-rising-damp-part-two/" target="_blank">www.bhis.com.au/2012/10/how-to-cure-rising-damp-part-two/</a><br />

No problem is so wide spread nor so misunderstood as rising damp. Probably every building built before 1900 has a damp problem in some degree and thousands of dollars are spent in repairs.<br />In many cases the cure is worse than the disease; illconceived treatments may in fact increase the problem and could decrease the real estate value of the building.<br />On top of this many renovation practices can cause problems where they may not have existed previously.<br />Expensive and good looking <a href="http://bhis.com.au/home-inspection-perth/" target="_blank">renovations</a> can turn into disaster areas by not allowing for moisture flow in old walls.<br /><br />The symptoms of wall dampness are easily recognised: musty smell, deteriorating paint and plaster. The moisture behaves like a wick and in fact is called wick action, it literally rises up the wall, like kerosene rises in a wick on the kerosene lamp. There comes a point where the damp cannot rise any further due to natural ventilation causing it to dry out this area is called the tide mark and is quite visible, at that point the drying out process is the fastest and mineral salts are deposited as visible marks on the wall. This tide mark is usually at about 900mm above floor level.<br />The first step in rectification is to source the cause, the damp proof course which is usually made out of lead or galvanised iron or even bituminous material, which is imbeded between the brick coursing, in the hope of preventing the <a href="http://bhis.com.au/" target="_blank">damp rising,</a> may have deteriorated over the years. But more often the problem is elsewhere.<br />The most logical and essential consideration to the prevention of rising damp is keeping the ground on which the building is located as dry as possible. That is achieved by diverting any discharged water well away from the building and its foundations, it is also essential to check gutters, drains and down pipes for hidden leaks that may not always be obvious.<br />

<br /><br />If the floor structure is<a href="http://building-home-inspection-servic-perth.weebly.com/blog/building-inspections-perth-how-to-cure-rising-damp-part-one" target="_blank"> timber </a>then the underneath should be well ventilated using the natural cross ventilation system available, by means of vent grilles installed on the perimeter walls, at every 1.8 meters is desirable.<br />If it is a concrete raft slab construction, then the damp usually rises on the perimeter walls and is almost always due to bridging of cavities or the overflowing of eaves into cavity walls. Generally the concrete slab itself with the plastic membrane under neath is a good water proofer in itself thus negating any moisture conning up from under the slab.<br />If all these basic building rules have not been broken and the damp still persists (highly unlikely) then other more effective chemical means may have to be implemented. These include the chemical injection of silicone liquids under pressure this is usually done by competent trades specialising in this type of work. Another method that I have heard and read about is the “FREEZTEQ” damp course System that can be done by the handyman or women. <br />Next week we will discuss this system and how it works as well as other causes of damp in walls.<br />please call our office.

buyer a piece of mind. BHIS has been providing Western Australia
complete professional inspections since 1980.<br />
<br />Roof Repairs In Preparation For Winter:<br />Now that winter is drawing closer it is time to prepare our roof and drainage system for the onslaught of those wet and blistery days.<br />A checklist would be a handy item to have so here is one:-<br /><br />A) <b>CLEAR ALL GUTTERS OF DEBRIS:, </b>that is leaves and even build up of dirt collected over the years, as all those particles can firstly clog up the downpipe pipe entry and cause a build up of water in the gutter and secondly when the gutter dries out debris will hinder the drying process allowing rust to form in suspect areas.<br /><br />Also check to see if the gutter has been backplated (see diagram) if not then overflow of water into the eaves, under the conditions mentioned above is very likely. This can be rectified by replacing the removed portion of metal from the gutter, efficiency of the gutter is reduced by 50-60 percent if the back of the gutter is not reinstated.<br />Sometimes downpipes can also get blocked, it is wise to flush them out especially if they are connected to soakwells. Never seal the join between the down pipe and the shoe where it runs into a soakwell, because if the soakwell ever loses its capacity then it can overflow at ground level at the join and not at gutter level.<br />For gutters to last longer the inside cam be painted with a bituminous paint which will effectively double the life of the gutter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QtEN5ILglFE/VaOYSNQdDdI/AAAAAAAAALI/_TmXlvStWWo/s1600/BHIS1-228x100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QtEN5ILglFE/VaOYSNQdDdI/AAAAAAAAALI/_TmXlvStWWo/s400/BHIS1-228x100.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />B) <b>VALLEY GUTTERS FLASHINGS & OTHER PROTRUSIONS:</b> It is also wise to check that all protrusions are still water tight, that is the seal between lead flashings and the pipes (vents & Flues) are still water tight if not seal them with a bead of paintable Silicone. All metal components should always be protected to slow down the deterioration process and all Lead components should be painted so as not to cause accelerated rusting to the galvanised metal components on a roof such as gutters and downpipes.<br /><br />Valley gutters should also be kept free of leaves and debris which can quite ,easily get caught especially if the free valley space is less that 100mm (4”). The water as it rushes down from the tiles onto the valley will get caught up in the leaves and debris and soon it will act as a dam and tend to overflow along the sides especially as over a period of time the <b>LIPPED VALLEY ENDS</b> (see “End on View” diagram) of the valley gutter have been clogged with dirt, crimped down by the weight of the tile or flattened down by holding down nails, it is very time consuming to carry out and rectify this but is well worth it if water ingress is a problem along valley lines.<br />Another problem is that valleys can overflow due to the sheer rush and volume of water deposited during a storm on steeply pitched roofs. Fitting baffles will redirect the flow of water and eliminate this problem.<br /><br />So that we all understand what we are talking about enclosed is also a part cross sectional diagram of a typical roof and eaves. <br /><br /><br />This is the style of work I do, I strongly believe in talking to people in terms, that they can understand and also show them in diagrammatic form if needed.<br />This is what your paper (column) can expect, should you take us on board. <br />This article is written on Word 7.0 we also have access, in our publishing section, to Pagemaker 7.0 all diagrams are either drawn or scanned in and can be faxed, disk mailed or sent by modem.<br /><br /> Would be happy to hear from you.<br />
