These are pictures for a small project, replacing a bath tub with a shower and changing the position
Short story: it is not drying out and I am wondering if the pipe/joins cracked when the concrete cured or
it is because of using the wrong type of concrete and too much water.

This is a sequel of a previous thread I posted here, I was trying to relocate two pipes that are in a wall that separates my toilet and my sink
Below is a middle ground solution suggested by someone, I am trying to relocate the vertical grey vent in the below picture

If you need to understand why I am doing this here is why: I am trying to conceal a drain and a vent pipe in the wall of my basement (this is the outer wall of my basement)

As you can see in the picture I am changing the position of the bath tub and the position of the sink.
After asking around here I have come to the conclusion that I probably have a drain and a vent somewhere in a wall that I was planning to remove (shown replaced with a pane of glass in the...

Hi guys
I am having some issues with an opening in the concrete floor of a basement.
It seems that it was left there on purpose but a supporting small wall was build kind of on top of it leaving like a slot still exposed to air and humidity which created some problems that I am now trying to...

They look like below.
I was told that it is humidity that ascends through the wall due to capilarity
I have watched the area for around an year. We had a very dry summer in Toronto.
These spots have not changed at all. I tried to dry them up with a hair dryer :-) but I had no luck

Hi guys
I have been watching this for around an year and I can't find any reason for what I am seeing.
this is on my front porch, the area has roof above it and it gets those spots when it is humid outside
What you see in the picture is an extreme situation.
On a related note, a year ago I...

The idea here is that you do not want to pay tens or thousands...

Also my neighbor's property is on a higher grounds and I suspect his drainage is not 100% fair...
