What is Wet Basement? How can we avoid it?

  1. [Deleted User]
    Added an answer on September 28, 2020 at 11:18 pm

    The presence of moisture due to various reasons is simply the meaning of the wet basement.  In the area of the basement, efflorescence will occur. Efflorescence means the deposition of white powder on the surface due to the presence of alkalies.

    Crazing often occur within a few hours of plaster being applied to the wall and cracks may hardly be visible until dust or moisture makes them noticeable. These cracks normally occurs when a plaster mix with a high cement content is used or the plaster is allowed to dry too quickly.

    You know what that the on-site evaluation of concrete strength is the biggest challenge in the condition assessment of existing infrastructure for the quality control of new construction.

    All parties agree that the strength of concrete is a critical parameter

    1. Compression test on concrete Core

    2. The pull-out test

    3. Rebound hammer for concrete strength

    4. Ultrasonic pulse velocity

    5. Combined non-destructive testing methods

    Capital costs are fixed, one time expenses incurred on the purchase of land, buildings, construction and equipment used in the production of goods or in the rendering of services. In other words it is the total cost needed to bring a project to a commercially operable status.
