Yes, this problem was happening years ago. It’s common in Ghana and Africa due to short cuts. It’s extremely common in the U.K. due to the climate in older properties. If it appears in new properties or properties like ours it’s a sign that damp proofing wasn’t used. There is no permanent solution other than prevention during the foundation and construction. 10 months a year isn’t long enough to know if the treatment has work. 2-5 years (depending on the method of treatment) before the damp either reappears or treatment needs to be repeated. I work in construction and spoke to my colleagues and done research. I had to do treatment in my property in Ghana last year. I had damp proof specialist assess my property. My developer didn’t damp proof the whole estate.
Patience this is a very gracious video. People in the previous comments were speaking out of concern for you and your wallet. Lots of us have built and know how exhausting it is and the skillset of Masons. You're doing great and its ok to bring in an occasional specialist. It saves money in the end.
Have pateience i have still not heard from you about the chemicals you used for the dump proof am going through that ,am in Ghana now if you can give me the names please
Oh, my apologies. If you need help, send me a message on Instagram or email me, and I will give you my guys number... he will be best fit to give you names of chemicals/ materials
If cement quality is a problem then contractors should probably consider waterproofing chemicals in the mix during foundation and ground floor work. Sorry you’re going through this.
I think as a country, we just don’t share knowledge. Trassaco has been building in water log areas and in hardly hear about water dumping and no one could tell what they do to prevent that. It’s sad most of us have to be worried about the mess.
I think you’re a rockstar lady….no need to feel embarrassed about anything. Your pretty too🎉
Thank you ☺️

What kind of filtration system are you using for your borehole?
Don't have a borehole, unfortunately
