Leaking Lift Pits – Solved with Drizoro Construction Products
Leaking Lift pits are one of the most overlooked areas in a building – yet they can present some of the biggest risks to your asset.
Hidden below ground level, lift pits are highly susceptible to:
- Groundwater ingress
- Cracking and structural movement
- Failed waterproofing systems
- Corrosion of reinforcement and embedded services
- Ongoing maintenance and safety risks
- When water enters a lift pit, it’s not just a minor leak – it can impact lift performance, create compliance issues, damage electrical components, and significantly reduce the lifespan of the asset.
We regularly see buildings lift pits where early warning signs of leakage were ignored:
- Efflorescence and damp patches
- Rust staining
- Concrete spalling
- Persistent water pooling
If you manage commercial, residential, or industrial assets, it’s worth asking:
When was your lift pit last inspected?
Was it showing sign of leakage?
