What to record
Water in a lift pit needs prompt attention from building management and the lift maintenance contractor. Do not enter the pit, touch equipment or assume that the lift can continue operating safely. The lift team must determine isolation and safe access arrangements.
Before choosing a repair
Once access is controlled, the assessment can consider the water source, joints, cracks and drainage. The repair may involve injection sealing or a suitable surface system. There is no universal safe shutdown period: access, curing, testing and return to service must be coordinated for that installation.
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.
