  • Draining and waterproofing basements: Effective measures against moisture and flooding

    Keller unter Wasser War die Trockenlegung umsonst a - Draining and waterproofing basements: Effective measures against moisture and flooding

    Draining my cellar was a lengthy and challenging project that I implemented using various methods to permanently combat damp and mold. From waterproofing with injection methods to installing a pump sump and retrofitting a horizontal barrier – I share my experiences, the challenges and how the measures have proven themselves even under extreme weather conditions. Draining and waterproofing basements: In this blog post, I describe how homeowners can effectively combat moisture and mold to create a dry and healthy basement. Draining a damp cellar was an important step for me to preserve the building fabric and prevent mold growth. In this article, I’ll shed some light on the measures I…

  • New submersible pump defective – draining the cellar

    Keller trocken legen pumpensumpf pumpe defekt Rueckschlagventil einbauen 7 a - New submersible pump defective - draining the cellar

    Two months ago I built a sump pit with a sump pump in my cellar to collect the water seeping into it and further dry out my cellar. A submersible pump with an integrated float switch should then pump the water out via a hose. Unfortunately, things turned out quite differently. The new submersible pump in the pump sump was defective after just a few weeks. Read this article to find out why the pump was destroyed and how the draining process continued.

  • Drying basement – pump sump | build septic tank yourself

    Keller trocken legen pumpensumpf bauen 17 a - Drying basement - pump sump | build septic tank yourself

    I built a sump pump at the lowest point of my house to help drain my cellar in the long term. The water is collected there and pumped out automatically. In this article, I describe how I built the soakaway and what I had to pay particular attention to. I go into the advantages and disadvantages of this method of draining the cellar and of course also write about whether this method works. Drying out the basement of my 120 year old house has been going on for 12 months now. In the interior, I have previously used the injection method to dry out. The areas above the barrier layer…
