If the groundwater level in a given area is ever high, there is a risk of groundwater occurrence over the past 100 or 200 years. So, before buying a house, it is also worth asking about the history of a given place or checking the account of ancient rivers.
If it turns out that groundwater occurrence is probable, it is worth seeking advice on securing the Basement.
If you buy a flat or a house, you will notice a wet concrete floor; it is worth using the waterproofing method.
Basement waterproofing is very common these days, so we should use the wetter the Basement, the more waterproofing materials in a given room. If the hydro-plumbing does not fulfil the function of water still sucking in, then the work done by previous employees or people selling the apartment or house, the costs will be enormous.
The fundamental element is to find the cause of the formation of moisture, fungus or leakage through the pipes passing through the rains. If a given room, such as a utility room and meaning is below the ground, it is worth including as low groundwater with an increased risk of water occurrence in the Basement.
The best material for Waterproofing is the Cavity drain membrane because it drains water automatically through the installed Sump Pump System.
The underground Vault, located mainly under the sidewalk along the road, is very prone to leakage due to cracks that are caused by vibrations from passing vehicles.
It is a very unpleasant sight as water drips from the ceiling onto personal belongings that we have stored for years. The frequently used Tanking Slurry is poorly made in combination with waterproof render; it cannot provide good deodorization against water drips or wet spots. If a Cavity Drain membrane is used, the drainage from the groundwater is more effective and ensures dryness in the room.
Suppose we decide to protect the Basement against groundwater. In that case, it is worth remembering that the cost of this system is considerable but also durable, i.e. we have provided a Waterproofing basement for many years. The only additional cost is the Sump Pump system service, which in combination with Cavity Wall The membrane gives us 100% certainty that no water will get into the Basement.
The fundamental element is an appointment to obtain information such as:
– checking the walls, moisture and floor, as well.
– we take measurements of walls and floors for accurate calculations.
– we are coming
– after a thorough inspection of the room, we can find out what causes occur in a given room.
In the Basement, Ventilation is rare, especially in the Cellar, because it has to be cool to keep the temperature low.
These causes mould, fungus and high condensation.
Usually, a recuperative ventilator is recommended to get fresh air from the outside and expel harmful air from the inside.

Type B – Waterproofing
Type B waterproofing is an inbuilt characteristic of the actual structure by adding waterproofing additives to the concrete used to form the floors and walls of the structure. Although normally effective in its own right, the joints of the structure are it’s weak spot and as such are susceptible to water penetration. Type B waterproofing is normally backed up by combining type A, C or sometimes both to ensure a watertight system and minimise risk. Type B basement waterproofing is normally specified in newbuild below ground structures.
Type C – Drained Cavity
Drainage cavities are made in between the internal and external basement walls and floorings in order to gather and drain water that has penetrated the walls through the use of a pump.
