LIFT PITS

A lift-pit is a structural part very often hit by leakage issues. (Most often) it is the deepest part of the structure - hence has got the most hydraulic head pressure. Furthermore they are perceived to be in the way of the rest of the construction process - and now the time schedule risk beating the quality requirement.

How sensible a concrete slab is to leaks will vary based on many different factors.
One important thing to know is - that membranes under slabs in most cases must be characterized almost as being a "mission impossible"

Basement walls is the part of the structure where the huge amount of options actually can be a challenge to the waterproofing.

A roof slab / concrete deck should be very easy to waterproof since it actually is a "roof". But very often it goes wrong, and the leak detection becomes a challenge not to mention the huge repair costs always related to this structural part.

Especially when balconies and terraces form a roof over other construction parts, waterproofing is vital.

In most cases, pools and ponds need waterproofing, keeping water in - and sometimes even out of - the structure.

Naturally, outdoor staircases are exposed to water, coming from above - but the water coming from below, we want to keep out.

Naturally, outdoor light wells/cases are exposed to water, coming from above - but the water coming from below, we want to keep out.

Tunnels comes in many shapes and forms, but they all need to be kept relatively dry for the same purposes.

When the structure leaks, the planning and process management of the repair job is just as crucial as is the case with new-build - sometimes even more.

Waterproofing ACADEMY aims to remove OverKill, UnderKill, and Incompetence
- because we care

PLEASE SHARE

There really aren't that many reasons for failed waterproofing
- they just get repeated a lot.

Thus, if we share, YOU can benefit from others - and THEY can benefit from you.

All you need to do is to send us your insight, idea, or warning - and we will anonymize it and facilitate the sharing.
