its trapped air,try holding your hand over tap and turn on trying not to let the water out,also try closing the stop cock down about to slow pressure down.

« on: 13 April 2012, 13:59:50 »There are building regulations that should be adhered to, and an inspector should visit the site and carry out inspections at key stages of the build. Also, as they are new homes, I would have expected an NHBC inspector to sign off stages of the build, for their 10 year warranty.
Depends on the type of building regs applied for!
If full plans then it will only be inspected at the end of the build (with maybe a single site visit at the start).
If building notice then it will be inspected at key stages of the build.
Also, as we all well know, the NHBC inspections are pretty much non-existant.
Some advice for all, if your ever having building work done then get full plans produced but opt for the building notice approach.
This means that the builder is quoting against the specifics of the detailed plans but, his/her work is being checked at regular points.
I dont trust the building trade one bit!
Problem is that if a retaining wall is detached from the structure of the house or does not provide support to the house its not covered by builidng regulations
yes thats right, but ive seen some retaining walls 2m 3m high have you seen the size off this one its as tall as the house,this should have been picked up by some one recomending a minumum code. its only single block and looks like it goes all the way round the house.the last one we did was about the same hight. but we had to go up 2m and then in 2m forming a stepped bank.i think any none builder could see this is not right.

the membrane has a drain at bottom and is not air tight,the capping on top allows air in and out top of pic is the rain water pipe connected to the drain so it does not wash out soil below.

yes sandey soil no good.but that wall is no good how did thay think that wall was going to stand up, the plastic sheet up aganst the wall is no good any water will run to bottom and wash it out,the wall itself is no good not thick enough no upright supports,made from blocks have no sheer strengh.even if thay had used this system in pic below it would have still colapsed,weve done ones smaller and the walls where three times that thick.
