fundamentlækager
Fundamentlækager is a Danish term that refers to leakage through the foundation of a building, typically moisture or water that penetrates basement walls, slabs, or other load-bearing elements. The term is used in civil engineering and building maintenance to describe water intrusion that originates at or below ground level and manifests as dampness, wet spots, or higher humidity in subterranean or lower story spaces.
Causes of fundamentlækager include hydrostatic pressure from surrounding soil when groundwater levels rise, inadequate exterior waterproofing,
Effects can range from visible damp walls and mold growth to structural concerns if moisture promotes deterioration
Detection and assessment involve visual inspection, moisture measurements, infrared thermography, and sometimes more advanced testing to
In practice, fundamentlækager is addressed within broader building waterproofing standards and maintenance programs, with emphasis on
