Basements in L'Escala: where the damp comes from
Developments in areas such as Nucli antic, Poble Sec and Les Terroges have many houses on sloping plots with a semi-basement: one wall is buried and takes water from the hillside. On that wall we reinforce the internal waterproofing and leave a drainage cavity behind the finish.
In basements in areas such as Riells, La Clota and Muntanya de Montgó we start by measuring moisture in the walls and slab to see whether water comes from the ground, a leak or condensation. We then apply waterproof mortar on the inner face and form a fillet where wall meets floor.
We go down to the basement with you, measure damp and headroom and give you a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates every stage. We also renovate basements in nearby areas: Torroella de Montgrí, Sant Pere Pescador and Viladamat.

We do this work in L'Escala, in areas such as Nucli antic, Poble Sec, Les Terroges, Riells, La Clota, Muntanya de Montgó, Sant Martí d'Empúries and Les Corts, and also nearby: Torroella de Montgrí, Sant Pere Pescador and Viladamat.

02Does the damp need fixing before the basement is fitted out?
Always. First we find out whether the water comes from the ground, a leak or condensation, and apply the right solution. Skip that step and the finishes will end up damaged.
03Can a basement be used as a bedroom?
For habitable use the CTE requires daylight, ventilation and a minimum ceiling height, and local planning must allow it. We check this on the visit; if it isn't possible, we suggest uses such as a gym, wine cellar or play area.
