Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 25, 2013 10:45 am I need help to water proofing around the house to prevent the water coming into the house. I had just build a new house and after a few days of rain in Adelaide, it looks like they are moisture coming out from the concrete slab inside every corner of my house with mould on it. I need to ask my builder to look at it but at the main time can someone help me out to advise what can be done? Re: Water Proofing around the house 2Aug 25, 2013 12:46 pm Something sounds sriously wrong here Devlin. Can you post a photo of just one spot where the moisture is. Take photos from inside and out will be helpful. @builderforlife Building inspector and passionate about construction When you need an expert to take a look. Re: Water Proofing around the house 3Aug 25, 2013 12:50 pm Hi builderforlife, I don't know how to post a photo at this forum. Do you have an email address so I can send it to you to have a look? Thanks very much for your help! Re: Water Proofing around the house 4Aug 25, 2013 4:15 pm Have you got like a Flickr account or something, that's how I've noticed most people do it. If you say its on the slab does that mean you've not moved in yet, the house is under construction?

Pls feel free to go in and have a look and comment on it Re: Water Proofing around the house 6Aug 27, 2013 8:02 pm Devlin, there is defintely moisture present which is causing the salt to come through. Why do you have bare concrete floors, is this a garage or similar area? Also can you take a photo from the other side of one of these walls. @builderforlife Building inspector and passionate about construction When you need an expert to take a look. Re: Water Proofing around the house 7Aug 28, 2013 6:11 pm Hi Builderforlife, I have uploaded more pictures. It is pure concrete slab as it is a newly build house. I was going to put timber floorboard in but after seeing the moisture coming through, I have to postpone it until problem fixed.
