Salvaging a Flooded Basement Before it Collapses

Описание: The horror story basement in this property has leaked for many years and multiple construction companies have attempted to solve the waterproofing and structural issues.

We go on a journey to salvage and restore this basement by building a structural waterproof box within the existing basement. We battle collapsing walls, incoming water, tree roots, decaying RSJ’s, condensation and leaking swimming pools while creating structures, pouring concrete, fitting Delta Membranes waterproof systems and pre-wiring for a home cinema, which we will be fitting soon.

This is our first showcase where we show you a build project from start to finish. The edit may well have taken longer than the actual build! :)
