Basement Waterproofing Services in Auckland

Waterproofing services for basements.

In recent years, Auckland has seen a dramatic rise in the construction of multi-storey buildings, in particular mixed-use and residential tower developments.

One factor common in most of these is a basement structure used for car parking, storage and utility areas. These basements need long-term waterproofing solutions.

Any solution must be able to last the expected design life of the building and more. Leave a legacy for the longevity of the structure!

Moisture, Steel Corrosion, and Structural Integrity Not only is it crucial to keep the usable space dry, but it is also imperative to maintain the integrity of the structure itself.

Moisture is the biggest factor in corrosion of reinforcing steel. As you may know, water can seep through perfectly intact concrete, given enough back pressure (e.g. forced by gravity).

To achieve a dry result, you need to waterproof the concrete itself. This provides a barrier against seepage which is not dependent on the durability of membranes or tanking.

Basement Leak Repair

A wet leaking basement is not a do-it-yourself project. Proper assessment is required and ignoring this problem can lead to mold issues, which potentially develop within 24 hours of the appearance of water damage.

The first step in solving your leaking basement problems is obtaining the opinion of a trained, educated waterproofing specialist. This will give you information on what has been causing the leaks in your basement, why it is happening and what your options for basement repair are.

Most of wet basements leak water from the walls and from the joints where the floor and wall meet. Basements rarely cause water to leak up through the floor, although this can happen in some cases.
