  • Draining the basement with a new horizontal barrier – conclusion after 9 months

    Keller trocken legen fazit nach 9 Monaten www.commaik.de b - Draining the basement with a new horizontal barrier - conclusion after 9 months

    It is now nine months since our old damp cellar was drained with a retrofitted horizontal barrier – time to take stock. In a building over 100 years old like ours, which was built without the foundation waterproofing that is common today, moisture in the basement is a real challenge. As the rising damp in our cellar became increasingly visible, I installed a new horizontal barrier with injection cream in the thick cellar walls to create a barrier against the ground moisture.

  • Drainage – retrofitting a horizontal barrier yourself

    Keller Trockenlegen Horizontalsperre mit Novustick herstellen www.commaik.de 027 a - Drainage - retrofitting a horizontal barrier yourself

    In addition to draining the outside of my villa, which was built in 1900, some of the basement walls also need to be sealed from the inside. The horizontal barrier in the 36 to 80 centimeter thick walls is no longer in tact. This time I dared to install a retrofit horizon blocker and used the NovuSticks for this. Here I describe my approach and my experiences.

    Keller Trockenlegen Inkektion Pumpenschacht2 scaled - Draining the cellar - 1 year later

    I have been working on drying out my basement for a good 2 years. In addition to repairs to the pipe system, ventilation concepts, dehumidifiers, dryers and a pump shaft in the cellar, I also installed a subsequent horizontal barrier with a masonry injection. It is now time for a review and a summary of the individual measures.
