We were contacted by a building contractor carrying out construction work on a property in Leicestershire. Work had come to a standstill whilst they sought specialist help to determine a viable waterproofing solution for the driveway above the basement to ensure a dry environment for the rooms below. We recommended a Type A barrier protection method.
