Sealing and repair
Structural waterproofing
A wet cellar wall has two possible answers, and the right one does not depend on what happens to be on offer but on the findings: where does the water come from, is it under pressure, and what can actually be reached? We measure first and seal afterwards – from outside where excavation is possible, from inside where boundary development, extensions or cost rule it out.
Sealing and repair
17 / 21
services offered by the practice
Keeping moisture out for good – from outside on the exposed structure, or from inside where no excavator can reach.
Typical occasions
Wann diese Untersuchung sinnvoll ist
- Damp cellar walls, flaking plaster, a musty smell
- Water pressing in after heavy rain or with a high water table
- The cellar is to become living space, storage or an office
- Before a sale: the moisture damage should be properly closed
Methods used
Womit wir am Bauwerk arbeiten
- Findings first: moisture measurement and clarifying where the water comes from, before any sealing
- External sealing: excavate, prepare the substrate, apply the membrane across the surface
- Protective and drainage layer so the new seal survives backfilling
- Internal sealing where outside work is impossible – with a cove at the wall-to-floor joint
- Sealing penetrations, construction joints and cracks
What you receive
Das erhalten Sie
- Dry rooms that can be used again
- Documentation of the layers and junctions as built
- A follow-up measurement that proves the result instead of claiming it
- A clear statement of what the sealing does and does not do
