I am a damp and condensation consultant in London, where I investigate, diagnose and implement remedial works for residential properties. I have watched this from the beginning to the end and I really love the meticulous approach of your company and your finish. Unlike many companies that show no care, take shortcuts and inconvenience the clients in the end. This is what I call first class work. Keep up the great work Mr Ashville.

I remember reading about these crazy extended basements in the London area, and that they stopped any future approvals. I thought you would have dug out the exterior and put on a proper exterior membrane. This looks like a really expensive approach to build out the interior walls. But an interesting approach, since water proofing has multiply solutions.

[@jamesmoore1532]

From a US perspective I only know exterior waterproofing. Everything we do is to keep the water out of structure. We would have replaced the exterior walls and plan an exterior waterproofing and drainage system. Hydrostatic pressure is best mitigated by water management on the property.

[@vikster6770]

The best Ashville video to date. Please keep up this level and new era of videos 10/10.

[@ColinRichardson]

So, let me get this straight.. Basement was flooded from 1) The pool side. The pool lights were leaking INTO the basement. 2) The roof rain drain. The pipes were causing massive holes and leaking INTO the basement. 3) The garden steps. The steps had no membrane and water leaked INTO the basement. 4) The garden steps drains. The drain was completely clogged and could not manage the water away, so it seeped into the soil and leaked INTO the basement. 5) The back windows. The windows had no membrane and water leaked INTO the basement. This is of course, not mentioning the Tree Roots putting additional pressure onto the original basement wall. Did I miss anything?
