I'm looking at buying a property built into the side of a hill and it has a basement with potential living area. The floor level is about 1.4m below ground level. The old block wall and foundations have been underpinned with concrete.
There is no evidence of flooding but I suspect there is a bit of moisture. How much moisture is too much?
What is required to bring it up to standard? I would think excavation around the walls and a waterproof membrane? Or more concrete which slopes away from the house as it goes down?
