Basement Leak Repair Wellington

Active water coming into your basement is a crisis, not a “I’ll get around to it” situation. Whether it’s a seeping crack in the floor slab, water pushing through a wall joint, a failed waterproofing membrane on an older system, or water ingress around pipes and service penetrations,  it needs to stop, and it needs to stop properly.

We see a lot of this work after heavy rain events. Wellington regularly gets significant rainfall,  particularly on the south coast and hill suburbs,  and when it comes down hard and fast, it tests every property’s waterproofing. We’ve attended emergency callouts in Island Bay, Miramar, and Tawa after storms where basements had never leaked before suddenly had an inch of water on the floor.

Our leak repair services cover everything from injection grouting for cracks (we use high-quality polyurethane and cementitious grouts that expand to fill voids and stop active water flow), to patching and membrane repairs, to full remediation of failed drainage systems. In some cases the repair is straightforward. In others, a leak is a symptom of a bigger waterproofing failure and we’ll give you a straight assessment of what’s actually going on and what the real fix looks like,  not just a band-aid.

Our company does not believe in telling you what you want to hear. If your basement needs a complete internal drainage system rather than a patch job, we’ll tell you that. If a simple crack injection will genuinely solve the problem for ten years, we’ll tell you that too. Honest diagnosis is part of the service, and it doesn’t cost you anything.
