Waterproofing outside next to garden bed? 🌷🌷

What? 🤔

Usually people think waterproofing is just for the bathroom but in reality it is just as important for garden beds next to the external wall of the house.

The requirement is 150mm above the finished level. That's the black stripe on the wall.

Make sure you check for this before you sign off your finishes build.

Have you ever wondered why there are long vertical gaps in between brick walls? 🤔

They are called Articulation joints aka AJ.

Note that usually they are specified in particular location in the building plans AND they must break up structural brick walls that is no more than 6 metres. 📏

This is to allow movement such as flex of earth movement and even brick expansion. This way we can avoid cracking in the brick walls. 🏠

So next time you see a large brick wall, make sure you also watch for these AJ joints to be in existence.

Hope that's something new you never thought of being on site. 🙂

Any other building construction questions, let me know so I can help to explain. Being on site for inspections everyday I see all types day in day out. ☺️
