What sets this area apart

Watiya is an older residential district dominated by small and medium villas on limited plots, most built before the 1960s. Modern basements here need active groundwater management because the water table is high and neighbouring foundations sit close by. We install pump sumps and surface drainage to lower the water level, and test soil quality before deciding on basement depth and waterproofing wall thickness.

Watiya lies near the old city walls in Kuwait's Capital governorate, a residential district known for small, older villas.

The groundwater level in Watiya typically sits between 1.5 to 3 metres below the natural ground surface.

Questions about Basement construction in Watiya

Call now
Can we build a basement under an old villa without damaging its existing foundation?

Yes, if we excavate in stages and shore up the neighbouring foundations with isolated cutoff walls. We use supervised deep-excavation methods and document each phase.

How does a basement stay dry in Watiya when groundwater is high?

We waterproof walls and floor with thick reinforced concrete and double bituminous coating, plus perimeter drainage and pump sumps that activate when water levels rise.
