Basement construction and waterproofing - 1

Part 1: Construction, safety, insulation and services.

This Good Building Guide discusses one of the main challenges when designing a basement: preventing ingress of water or water vapour. The focus is on dampness due to penetration of groundwater, sometimes complicated by rising damp. This first part outlines the principles of constructing a waterproof basement. The second part describes the main methods for perimeter construction with advice on safety, insulation and services.
