Hello,
this concerns a 2-family end-of-terrace house under construction, where a concrete staircase (ground floor to upper floor) has been installed. The area under the staircase is separated from the ground floor apartment by a wall. The wall is not yet complete at the top, so it was possible to take a photo of the area under the staircase to determine whether there is water present that could have penetrated through the roof, which was not closed until recently. I could not detect any water, but I found that the contractually agreed bitumen sealing membrane is missing there. The relevant area is 12.4 meters north, 6.2 meters south, 5.3 meters east, and 2.0 meters west from the end of the floor slab. No groundwater was detected in the soil report, but rainfall-related backwater buildup is possible.
The general contractor (GU) was informed and wanted to consider whether to make corrections. I have not heard anything about it for 2 weeks.
What damages could occur if no corrections are made?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
