If the moisture penetrates vertically via the wall surfaces in the area in contact with the ground, the external waterproofing is not functional or not present. Reliable sealing is essential here.
One of the most important types of basement waterproofing is external waterproofing, which is considered to be particularly safe. The moisture penetrates laterally via the area in contact with the ground into the outer walls of the cellar. The damage can be recognized by discolouration on the interior walls, flaking plaster or, in the worst case, mould growth. This can also be caused by a defective or unused external seal. The masonry is therefore permanently and professionally protected against moisture by Swiss Renovation GmbH. Subsequent application of external waterproofing is particularly recommended here.
Over time, cracks form through which moisture can penetrate. It is advisable to take action here and dry out the walls and floors and seal them sustainably.
It includes all precautions intended to prevent the destructive effects on the building fabric. Tightness plays a major role in the durability and usability of a building. The external sealing of wall components in contact with the ground provides vertical sealing of a building with mineral, plastic-modified or bituminous materials to prevent damage to the building fabric and usability.
