Common Water Issue in BC
Parkade / Underground Parking Leaking — Structural Water Detection
Water leaks in underground parking structures are a serious concern for BC strata and commercial buildings. Leaks can indicate structural issues and accelerate concrete deterioration.
Possible Causes
- •Failed waterproofing membrane on parkade deck above
- •Cracks in concrete structure allowing groundwater entry
- •Failed expansion joint seals between concrete sections
- •Failed drainage system within parkade structure
- •Hydrostatic pressure forcing water through construction joints
Recommended Steps
- 1Document leak location and whether it occurs during rain only or constantly
- 2Check for staining or efflorescence indicating ongoing water migration path
- 3Review building maintenance records for previous parkade waterproofing work
- 4Call professional leak detection with GPR and thermal imaging for structural assessment
- 5Early detection prevents structural deterioration and costly repairs
