These channels serve as a means of collecting groundwater and directing it to a central drainage pit. This drain pit is strategically placed at the lowest point of the basement.<\/li><\/span><span><li>A water pump then pumps the water from the collector through a drain, often fitted with sensors for automatic operation.<\/li><\/span><span><li>Finally, the moisture expert applies a new concrete layer on top of the studded membrane.

Again, we place a pump house in the floor where the water is collected and, after several measurements, we adjust the floor with a laser. Then we install certified ceramic tiles that measure 60 x 60 x 2 centimetres. What's nice? You can choose the colour of the tiles yourself.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>There are three main advantages to this method of basement waterproofing:<\/p><\/span><span><ul><\/span><span><li>First and foremost, you lose less height than with traditional cupping. Here we are talking about a maximum of 5 centimetres, whereas with the capping you easily lose 8 centimetres.<\/li><\/span><span><li>It is also much more stylish. This is definitely interesting if you want to turn your basement into a real living space.<\/li><\/span><span><li>The final advantage is price: the cost of a classic casing is quite a bit higher than that of ceramic tiles.<\/li><\/span><span><\/ul><\/span><span><p><\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"uncode-single-media  text-center\"><div class=\"single-wrapper\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\"><div class=\"tmb tmb-light  tmb-img-ratio tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg\"><div class=\"t-inside\"><div class=\"t-entry-visual\"><div class=\"t-entry-visual-tc\"><div class=\"uncode-single-media-wrapper\"><div class=\"dummy\" style=\"padding-top: 66.5%;\"><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18258\" src=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kelderbekuiping_keramische_Tegels-uai-600x399.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" alt=\"basement ceramic tiles\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-8\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-8\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-parent=\"true\" class=\"vc_row row-container onepage-section\" data-label=\"bestrijden\" data-name=\"bestrijden\" id=\"row-unique-9\"><div class=\"row col-no-gutter single-top-padding double-bottom-padding penta-h-padding full-width row-parent\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-left align_left column_parent col-lg-12 half-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h2 class=\"font-673431 fontsize-102089 fontheight-326604 font-weight-500 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Can you completely waterproof your basement yourself?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>We occasionally get asked whether you can get started on waterproofing your basement yourself. Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer to that. Here's why:<\/p><\/span><span><ul><\/span><span><li>The cause of basement moisture largely determines what approach is needed, as each type of moisture problem requires a specific solution. However, identifying the exact cause is often a challenge. This can be complex, as it sometimes requires breaking work or specialised equipment to fully identify the problem. Without the right knowledge or experience, you risk making mistakes that can make the situation worse.<\/li><\/span><span><li>In addition, it is essential not only to choose the right products, but also to apply them in the right way. For this, expert knowledge is indispensable. A wrong approach can lead to inefficient results and even more damage. Expertise is therefore crucial for a sustainable and effective solution.<\/li><\/span><span><\/ul><\/span><span><p><\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>This is why we always recommend calling in an expert.
