Hello everyone!
At the beginning of April, the construction of our semi-detached house finally started ;)
So far, so good.
We are building with solid construction, and since last week the basement walls have been standing. The exterior basement walls are made of prefabricated double walls, the joints were completely sealed with WU concrete during the concreting process. And here is already my question/uncertainty. The gap between the basement wall and the base slab is not completely sealed in all places (see pictures). Since we have very high groundwater, the construction company has additionally sealed it voluntarily with bitumen and waterproofing membrane. In addition, we have a joint sheet; allegedly it is now sealed.
Although our architect is moving directly into the house next to us, you can never be sure.
At the two semi-detached houses next to us (same construction company and architect), everything is completely sealed...
Do we already have our first construction defect here?
I am grateful for any help!
