Here we briefly describe the main steps of waterproofing of the foundation and basement.
To begin with, let us tell you that the effectiveness of basement waterproofing depends primarily on the external waterproofing of the outer part of the house. If all work on waterproofing is carried out correctly and with quality materials for waterproofing – you get a dry and warm basement. In cases where you have already appeared in your basement water and mold – you need to carry out a thorough internal waterproofing of the walls and floor.
To do this, we follow the basement renovation in Bolton scheme in sequence:
1 – study and reinforce the perimeter of the building;
