In the very few cases where the problem is ground
water rather than surface water, more extensive solutions are required.
Normally, houses are not built below the water table. However, the water
table may rise intermittently in areas with heavy seasonal rainfall. Changes
in neighborhoods as development increases, for example, may lead to changes
in the natural water table.
Where the basement floor is below the water table, water constantly pouring
into the basement will often be experienced. A drainage tile system and a
sophisticated pumping system, perhaps employing dual pumps, is often used.
Since the water is constantly present, and pumps are susceptible to either
mechanical or electrical failure, a house with this arrangement is always
vulnerable to wet basement problems.
One of the most cost-effective solutions to meeting the increasing demand for additional living accommodation is to convert an existing damp basement into habitable rooms, or to create a basement within a new dwelling during construction.
Climatic change has also increased the incidence of
flooding to a number of properties which would previously have been at low
risk of such catastrophic occurrences.
It is therefore essential that any work below ground level takes into
account worst case scenarios that could involve flooding from rising ground
water. Homepros services has developed the skills and techniques over the
years to provide basement waterproofing systems using advanced drainage
techniques, with the option of cementitious systems where appropriate.
