Hello everyone,
a general contractor we are currently considering offers the basement with
Quote:
Exterior basement walls, instead of being built as masonry, alternatively
according to DIN 18195, Part 6, as a waterproof structure of usage class A,
according to the DAfStb guideline
“Waterproof concrete structures” (WU guideline)
designed for exposure to occasionally rising
seepage water (exposure class 1) up to a maximum of 15 cm (6 inches)
below the bottom edge of the window wells
Does this mean that it is a waterproof (white) tank basement, or is the basement just sealed from the outside?
I would appreciate it if someone could clarify this for me.
Thanks!
