What sets this area apart

Homes in South Jahra sit on isolated residential plots with depth and width allowing basement excavation under most or all of the building footprint. Groundwater rises in winter and spring, so we install perimeter drainage at the base and sump pumps if needed before laying foundations. The sandy-clay soil requires staged basement walls and external waterproofing below and on the sides; we perform a water test before handing over the space.

South Jahra is in Jahra governorate, a residential area of detached houses on plots deep enough for below-ground expansion.

Groundwater in South Jahra typically rises to one and a half to two metres below surface level in winter months.

Questions about Basement construction in South Jahra

How do you handle high groundwater in a basement?

We install perimeter drainage at the excavation base and a sump pump to dewater before foundation pouring. We waterproof the walls and floor externally to prevent seepage.

Can the basement be excavated under the entire house or only part of it?

It depends on plot depth and neighbouring properties. We review the engineering drawings and municipality restrictions first, then determine the feasible excavation area.
