Hi team.
House built on piles on slope, into hill.
So clay backyard is a bit higher than the bottom of the piles
Yard
--------------
_______Piles (and under house) _____________
Water rolling down from property above. Going under house.
Ideas to prevent water entering subfloor?
Obviously I should install drains before water reaches house. And I will.
But as a backstop? In a worst-case scenario where drains don't cope?
Should I board off bottom of house and waterproof? With a drainage channel around perimiter?
If so, best products/ techniques to use?
Anyone tackled this kind of issue before?
Would love to hear ideas and advice?
Or the names of contractors in Auckland who may know how to deal with this issue.
Please ask if you need other details etc.
My goal is a bone-dry underhouse. Is this achievable?
Thanks for reading.
