Basement & waterproofing

Moisture problems in basements can have different causes, such as rising damp, water infiltration, cracks, poor drainage or insufficient protection of basement walls. A correct solution therefore always starts with a proper analysis of the existing situation.

ROART approaches basement and moisture problems from a technical and practical perspective. We examine where the moisture comes from, which parts of the basement are vulnerable and which solution is most suitable for the building. Depending on the situation, this may include basement waterproofing, drainage, crack repair, waterproof layers, structural adjustments or improved moisture control.

During execution, we pay attention to durability, safety and correct connection of the different layers and details. The goal is not only to address the visible moisture problem, but especially to treat the cause as effectively as possible.

Moisture analysis and technical assessment

Moisture analysis and technical assessment

Moisture problems in basements require proper analysis. We assess where the moisture comes from, how the water moves and which parts of the basement are sensitive to infiltration. Based on this, we determine which solution is most suitable from a technical and practical perspective.

Frequently asked questions about basement waterproofing and moisture problems

Moisture problems in basements can have different causes and require a proper technical assessment. Below, you will find some frequently asked questions about basement waterproofing, drainage, water infiltration and possible solutions.

How do moisture problems occur in a basement?

Moisture problems can be caused by water infiltration, rising damp, cracks in walls or floors, poor drainage, ageing waterproofing or insufficient ventilation. That is why it is important to first identify the cause correctly.

How are moisture problems in a basement solved?

The right solution depends on the cause. Sometimes basement waterproofing is sufficient, while in other cases drainage, crack repair, waterproof layers, ventilation or structural adjustments are needed. That is why we assess each situation separately.

Is drainage always necessary for basement problems?

Not always. Drainage may be necessary when water collects around or under the basement, but for other moisture problems, another solution may be more suitable. The need for drainage is determined after analysing the existing situation.

How long do basement and waterproofing works take?

The duration depends on the extent of the problem, the chosen solution, basement accessibility and the drying or curing times of the materials used. Small interventions can be short, while larger works require more time.

Is basement waterproofing a permanent solution?

A correct solution can provide long-lasting results, but this depends on the cause of the moisture problem, the chosen method, the condition of the building and the quality of the execution. A proper analysis beforehand is therefore important.

Can a wet basement be made usable again?

In many cases, yes. After proper analysis and suitable execution, a damp basement can be made usable again, for example as storage space, a technical room or an additional functional space. The possibilities depend on the condition of the basement.

Does the basement need to be emptied before the works?

In most cases, the work zones need to be cleared so that walls, floors and technical areas are easily accessible. During a site visit, we can indicate which parts should be emptied in advance.

Can basement waterproofing be combined with renovation?

Yes. Basement waterproofing can often be combined with basement renovation, structural repairs or making the space usable again. We then assess both the moisture problem and the intended function of the basement.
