Defective waterproofing at basement, balcony and terrace: secure moisture evidence, causes and emergency measures.
BRANDAUER Rechtsanwälte
Salzburg law firm for real estate, construction and corporate law
Every matter is handled by a coordinated team of lawyers, legal staff and specialists. In construction cases we look at contract, evidence, deadlines and commercial consequences together.
Moisture in a basement, balcony or terrace is rarely a purely visual issue. Leaking connections, missing slope, defective waterproofing or poor drainage can create significant consequential damage.
Legally it is not enough that water is visible. Timing, likely cause, potential responsibility and emergency measures without losing evidence matter.
