Just your opinion onn what Should have been done
we live in a concrete bunker ( mansion in JApan ) ,,and we had acute black mould in the toilet ..
So , housing company came ,,said they would fix said problem ...
anyway took out wall revealing a space 2m x 2m ..one ( the left hand wall is concrete ( poured ).. ) the other walls ( far wall ) was ply 5mm no insulation against concrete ( I think ) the right handside wall was 5mm ply ( on the otherside there was the electrical meters and a steel door )
Roof of this space was uninsulated 5mm ply ..
shit I know
But what would one do to fix the mould
Me I would seal the concrete with mould inhibitor sealant , use that balck tar paper Then insulation then Jib or ply ..
on the walls with no concrete I would seal outside by paint , then insulation between and a mould resistant sear on the inside
These are not load bearing walls ,,,
Any Ideas ..Can post photo if needed
Stephen
How they fixed it was by using a spray to kill mould and replace the wall I see with an insulated wall ( inch thick polystyrene )
It was free as the housing company paid ,,,but its my friends building ,,and I feel sorry for him as I think he is being shafted
PPS ..I know ZIP about all matters building ,,,( I did replace a tap washer once...)
