A basement is one or more floors of a building arranged completely or partially below the ground floor (floor) and underground. The basement is a part of the foundation of each project designed to serve many different purposes such as parking garage, garage, service business, storage of goods and furniture.
The basement is the foundation for the entire project. If waterproofing is not paid attention to from the beginning, leaks will reduce durability and quickly degrade, bringing serious potential risks. In addition, the basements of buildings often have to be dug deep underground, easily reaching underground water, so the risk of seepage is very high.
Causes of basement seepage
Basements are flooded due to many different reasons, some of which include the following:
- The design process does not ensure proper compliance. The design is superficial and does not clearly understand the nature of basement waterproofing.
- Haven't found a suitable basement waterproofing solution yet. Choose cheap, poor quality waterproofing solutions from the construction contractor.
- The process of pouring poor quality waterproof concrete creates porosity, allowing water to seep in.
The most effective basement waterproofing construction method
- Waterproof the basement with a hot torch membrane
Waterproofing the basement with cement-based materials such as: Sikatop seal 107, Masterseal 540, Quicseal 104, Quicseal 104s,...
