I have just found you courtesy of Google and hope someone maybe able to help.
I recently moved to a lovely stone, 4 storey house in North Wales. It has a recent extension made of breeze blocks.
We had the walls tanked but the floor tested well (4" with membrane) except the extension which looked like they used bin bags. To cut a long explaination short thismorning I woke to a very wet basement. It looks as if the surrounding water table has risen to almost level with my patio doors and been soaked up by the concrete. Also the main body of the basement had a large puddle which seems to come from where the concrete slab was laid in 2 sections.
The tanking company can fix the main basement but this doesn't fix the water at the back door..which 4-5 hours later had soaked away and the levels in the drains had gone down several inches.
Thank you for reading all this, any advice would be very gratefully accepted
