The Do’s and Don'ts of Waterproofing Basement Walls

Over the years, India has seen a dramatic rise in the construction of multi-storey commercial buildings across the country - particularly in the banking and logistics sectors, hospitals, shopping malls and multiplexes, hotels and resorts, IT corridors and parks, and residential complex developments. While these buildings have different purposes for people from all walks of life, they have one factor in common - a basement structure.

Depending on the building and its structural design, basements can be used as car and bike parks, server rooms, vaults, wine cellars, storage units, utility areas and so much more.
