Source types stay separate: technical and authority-adjacent sources support rules and risk topics, while project sources document practical experience.
New basement floor. Start by documenting existing and planned floor build-up, drain and sewer levels and pipe and cable penetrations. The purpose is to understand the building condition and constraints before choosing products, finishes or a work sequence.
Wet basement floor after drainage. Check changes after rain, existing and planned floor build-up and drain and sewer levels before deciding what to repair. These observations help separate a surface symptom from water, air, drainage or construction conditions.
A documented floor sequence from excavation and capillary-breaking stone layer to reinforcement, tile laying and the finished basement room.
