3. Assess the concrete and waterproofing

The condition of the surrounding concrete, joints and existing waterproofing systems is considered. Previous repair work may also be reviewed where relevant.

4. Select a suitable repair method

Depending on the cause, the repair may involve PU injection, epoxy crack injection, joint sealing, concrete repair, waterproofing remediation or a combination of techniques.

5. Prepare the affected area

The surface and concrete are prepared according to the selected repair system. This may include cleaning, removing loose material, preparing cracks or installing injection ports.

6. Complete the repair

The selected waterproofing or remedial system is applied to the affected area using appropriate equipment and techniques.

7. Inspect the repaired area

The completed repair is checked to ensure the identified water pathway has been appropriately treated and related concrete deterioration has been addressed where required.

Why is basement leak repair important?

A basement leak may start as a small damp patch, but persistent moisture can affect the surrounding concrete and finishes.

Depending on the conditions, ongoing water ingress may contribute to:

• Concrete deterioration
• Reinforcement corrosion
• Spalling
• Damaged coatings and finishes
• Mould and damp conditions
• Efflorescence
• Damage to stored items or equipment
• Recurring maintenance problems

Not every basement leak indicates a major structural issue, but recurring or active water ingress should be investigated to determine its cause.

• Drainage systems
• Waterproofing membranes
• Service penetrations
• Basement wall and floor conditions
• Previous repair areas
• Signs of dampness or efflorescence

Addressing deterioration and recurring moisture early can help reduce the risk of more extensive remedial work.
