  2. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_waterproofing

    The main purpose of external weeping tile is preventing water from getting into a basement. However, these pipes can become clogged or damaged, which causes excess water to put pressure on internal walls and basement floors. Water build up inside window wells, after heavy rain or snow, can lead to leaks through basement window seams. Window ...

    Masonry walls are built with a damp-proof course to prevent rising damp, and the concrete in foundations needs to be damp-proofed or waterproofed with a liquid coating, basement waterproofing membrane (even under the concrete slab floor where polyethylene sheeting is commonly used), or an additive to the concrete.

  5. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    In areas below foundation level (subgrade areas), particularly those formed in concrete, vapor retarder placement can be problematic, as moisture infiltration from capillary action can exceed water vapor movement outward through framed and insulated walls. A slab-on-grade or basement floor should be poured over a cross-laminated polyethylene ...

    Other reasons for covering concrete with synthetic resin flooring are to improve resistance to chemicals, enhancing resistance to impact and wear, and for aesthetic appearance purposes. Seamless polymer flooring can take many forms: [8] Floor seals applied at less than 6 mil (0.15 mm) Floor coatings applied at 6 - 12 mil (0.15 – 0.3 mm)

  8. Indoor mold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_mold

    Piping in walls may also be a source of mold, since they may leak (causing moisture and condensation). [ 10 ] Spores need three things to grow into mold: nutrients – cellulose (the cell wall of green plants) is a common food for indoor spores; moisture – to begin the decaying process caused by mold; and time – mold growth begins from 24 ...
