Basement Seepage: Information for an Assessment

What to record

Record where water appears on basement walls or floors and whether it changes after rain. Include joints, nearby drainage, previous repairs and any exposed reinforcement in photographs taken from a safe position. The visible damp area alone does not identify the full water path.

Before choosing a repair

Access to the outside face, groundwater conditions, cracks and construction joints influence repair options. Injection, surface waterproofing or work to drainage may be considered after assessment. The selected materials must suit the direction of water pressure and the substrate; a product name is not a complete specification.

Discuss the scope

ODS Construction Chemicals focuses on waterproofing, supported by concrete repair, flooring and finishing. We also consider selected renovation and construction projects. Send the location, photographs and proposed scope to confirm whether we can take on your project. A guide is not a quotation or a promise of a particular method, product or completion date. Where a project proceeds, the written scope sets out the work and any warranty offered.
