Hi all, just recently rendered a retaining wall near our swimming pool and also built a deck
All part of a small reno on our PPOR.
Problem is that moisture seems to be coming thru in some parts of the render.
Our neighbour has a swimming pool on other side of this retaining wall approx. 1 metre away from fence which I suspect could be leaking. Had a few chats to him and he assures me his pool is not leaking and that he will have it checked it out. He is however really testing my patience as it's not a priority for him.
I have also had insurance people take a look and assessor tells me that they do not do any investigation work for their clients ! Unless it's a major event that has caused damage not much else they can do.
I have attached 2 pictures to show what I am talking about. I also had holes drilled below the deck to allow any water to drain.
1) Could it be that the clay behind the retaining wall is holding the moisture ?
2) Any products I could use to seal wall before painting ?
3) Any other solutions / ideas ?
Help !!!!!
