Damp basement Edegem

Your basement is underground, and that's where the problem lies. Because of its location, the space is very sensitive to groundwater pressure. This can penetrate through the ceiling, walls or floor, resulting in a damp basement in Edegem. But heavy rain can also be the culprit. When the rainwater makes its way inside through the walls or masonry, we speak of seepage water coming in.

Is moisture seeping in? Is water infiltration at an advanced stage? We start with a comprehensive moisture diagnosis. Based on the conclusion, we determine a powerful long-term solution in the form of basement drainage. We direct the moisture in the basement to a pump, which is connected to the drainage system. Depending on the nature and location of the moisture problem, different drainage applications are possible. An overview!

Edge drainage

The junction where the basement floor and walls meet is called the bilge seam. When moisture infiltrates the bilge seam, edge drainage is an effective solution. From the bottom of the floor we mason a stone gutter, which has a waterproof cementing. Moisture that rises through the bilge seam immediately enters the gutter and is led directly to a collector. The collected water is then driven to a drain (e.g., the sewer) using a pump.

Floor drainage

We advance a floor drainage if moisture infiltrates the basement floor. In this case, we cover the floor with water-repellent layers, such as a bubble membrane. The membrane is characterized by its special structure, which leads the water through various channels to a collection well. In this pit we place a water pump, which is equipped with sensors and drains the water professionally. This is how we get rid of your moisture problem once and for all. On top of the bubble wrap we place a concrete floor, which completes your basement picture.

Wall drainage

Is moisture infiltrating your basement walls? Then we draw the map of wall drainage. We coat all the walls with a waterproof bubble membrane, which directs the water to a collection well. As with floor drainage, we provide a water pump with sensors. Thus, the water is propelled to the outlet. We invariably combine wall drainage with floor drainage, since moisture from the walls is drained through the floor. By coordinating both drainage techniques, we put an end to your damp basement in Edegem once and for all.
