This project is part of a bigger landscaping project that we are carrying out in Prenton Wirral.
Upon inspection the customer found that he had damp coming through his cellar walls as a result of the exterior landscaping pressing up against the external wall and the moisture passing through it.
The customer requested that we excavate a large area of the ground to below the foundations of the house some 7ft. down to inspect where the damp is entering into the cellar.
As we carried out the excavation we discovered the damp was seeping through the brickwork as the pointing had deterred over the years. To fix the problem we lined the brick work with waterproof membrane and re-pointed the brick work, also installed a drainage system to divert any water away from the building to prevent it rising behind the water proof membrane.
This job took us just two days with two men
