What to do if a high moisture level remains in the basement? A violation of the waterproofing layer, which is laid during the construction of the house, can lead to this. The damage can also be caused by the use of poor -quality materials, the rupture of the material of the roots of trees, the shrinkage of the foundation or the rise of groundwater.
In any case, the only way to correct the situation is to carry out a high -quality repair of waterproofing the base of the house. As an isolating material of the basement walls, various polymer mastics are currently widely used, which are applied on the outer side of the walls. The polymer-cement waterproofing mixture, which is used in combination with other coating materials, has also proven itself well. They effectively impregnate the top ball of concrete and create a reliable barrier on the path of penetrating moisture.
To carry out waterproofing work, a preliminary survey of the surface is carried out, which helps to detect places of damage and leaks. Further determined with the material that will be used in the repair process. Initially, with the help of polymer compositions, the cracks are closed in butt joints and cracks. Small cracking is covered with a polymer-cement composition, and structural seams are compacted with polymer-concrete cords. The seams that are subject to increased load are closed with an additional layer of elastic coating waterproofing. At the final stage of work, the entire area of the walls is covered with polymer waterproofing material.
