Behind water ingress in the masonry through the terrace!

Hi, I want to buy a house, behind the house there is a mountain, and between the house and the mountain there is a flat terrace built, the whole terrace is covered with water and the water has seeped into the masonry, it has been like this for years because the house has no gutter and probably no proper drains, in some places it has already run into the house and the ceiling on the first floor is damp. The house is only a few years old and is in shell condition and was abandoned due to lack of money. It is a solid house, made of pumice stones, but with the water in the masonry, what can be done or should I just forget about it? Could the stones be dried or somehow replace these areas? Why does all the water accumulate on the terrace, they are pre-cast concrete slabs, covered with black bitumen mats, who can help!

Hello,

Hi, I want to buy a house, behind the house is a hill, and between the house and the hill there is a flat terrace built, the entire terrace is covered with water which has seeped into the masonry, it has been like this for years because the house has no gutters and apparently no proper drains, in some places the water has already entered the house and the ceiling on the 1st floor is damp. The house is only a few years old and is in shell construction and was abandoned due to lack of money. It is a solid house, made with pumice stones, but with the water in the masonry, what can be done or should I just stay away from it. Could the stones be dried or somehow these areas be replaced? Why does all the water accumulate on the terrace, these are precast concrete slabs covered with black bitumen mats, who can help!

A surveyor should help you – otherwise I would stay away from it; if a shell construction has been left abandoned for so long and there is no knowledge about the exact condition of the materials used at the time, anything else would be reckless ;)

Kind regards
