  • We can advise on preventative measures and refer you to appropriate specialists if needed.

  • Groundwater ingress refers to water seeping into a basement from the surrounding soil, typically through cracks in the foundation or poorly sealed walls and floors. It’s usually caused by high water tables, heavy rainfall, or poor drainage around the building. Over time, this persistent seepage can lead to damp, mould, and even structural damage. If left untreated, groundwater ingress can result in flooding.
