Source diagnosis first
We assess whether the cause is groundwater pressure, cracks, or drainage before recommending treatment.
Problem & causes
Basement seepage has underground causes
Signs you have this problem
- Damp patches or white salt deposits (efflorescence) on basement walls
- Standing water or persistent wetness on the basement floor
- A musty, damp smell that does not go away even with ventilation
- Cracks in basement walls that seep during or after rain
Common root causes
- Rising groundwater table pushing against the foundation wall
- Cracks in the foundation or basement wall from settlement
- Poor external drainage directing water toward the building
- Gaps around pipe or cable entry points through the foundation wall
How Gracia diagnoses
What we do differently
Crack injection & sealing
Foundation cracks are treated with sealing or injection methods, not surface paint alone.
Waterproof membrane
Below-grade waterproofing suited to the pressure and usage of your basement.
Drainage correction
Where external drainage is pushing water toward the foundation, we address that too.
Our process
Symptom to warranty
01
Symptom
Bathroom leak, ceiling stain, wall damp or terrace seepage — what you see is the starting clue, not the diagnosis.
02
Inspection
On-site visual, thermal and optical checks. We do not quote a coating from a WhatsApp photo alone.
03
Evidence
Photos with marked points, thermal or moisture notes, and the limits of what the scan can prove.
04
Diagnosis
Cause labelled Confirmed, Probable, Possible or Excluded — then the minimum opening if we still need to verify.
05
Treatment
Quoted system, preparation, exclusions and testing. Work starts only after you approve the scope.
06
Warranty
The period on the quotation and certificate — not a generic banner number.
Real case
Gachibowli basement seepage at the retaining wall
Problem. Standing water along a basement retaining wall after heavy rain.
Inspection. Mapped active weeps; thermal less useful on a wet wall — visual and grout-point marking used.
Confirmed. Hydrostatic pressure at untreated construction joints.
Treatment. PU injection at weep points, then basement coating. Major structural reconstruction not in scope.
Testing. Observation through the next wet spell; pump-out of standing water before coating.
Warranty. Quoted 5-year basement system on treated joints. Later civil cuts excluded.
Full case study →Testing / handover
Observation through the next wet spell on treated joints. Standing water is pumped out before coating; we do not coat over a live weep.
Warranty on this treatment
Typically 5 years; up to 7 years on specified PU or polyurea systems
Drainage, ponding, structural movement and later civil modifications must be addressed in the quoted scope.

- Major concealed pipe replacement
- Plumbing rerouting and sanitary fixture replacement
- Electrical work
- Major structural reconstruction
Questions
Basement — frequently asked
In most cases yes, once the actual water entry point and pressure source are correctly diagnosed and treated — that is why inspection comes before any quotation.
