Basement Construction

Structural waterproofing /  Basement Construction London – Structural waterproofing involves waterproofing systems applied to structures with earth retaining walls. This means that the wall has been constructed directly against the earth that surrounds the below-ground structure. Earth consists of mud, rocks, water, etc.

It is an incredibly porous combination of differing natural materials, making it very easy for water and moisture to travel through. When this moisture eventually hits the substrate of the wall in a basement, for example, it will then attempt to continue its journey via the many capillaries found in a substrate material such as concrete, or it will find a weak joint in the construction and begin to leak into the once dry structure.
