Anyone else have a view on the latest scheme in flood prone areas to waterproof houses? Basically what they are doing is spray a waterproof membrane over the lower weatherboards, block base and foundations. This is to stop the water penetrating the house when the area floods..
So, I'm not a builder, but if water can't get in, water therefore can't get out. Aka leaky buildings. So let's take a perfectly good weatherboard house that lets water in, and they do, but they also let straight back out, and ensure it rots.
Seems ludicrous to me. Apparently it works in the UK, but they say construction is different there... like really??
