Basement & Subfloor in Melbourne CBD - Frequently Asked Questions
What causes rising damp?
Rising damp occurs when groundwater is drawn upward through porous building materials by capillary action, often due to a missing or failed damp-proof course.
Can you waterproof from inside the basement?
Yes. Negative-side waterproofing is applied to the interior face of basement walls and is effective even when external access is not possible.
How do French drains work?
French drains are gravel-filled trenches with perforated piping that redirect subsurface water away from the building's foundation to a drainage point.
