A water bar in basement construction is a waterproofing system typically made from materials like rubber or PVC, designed to prevent water infiltration at the junction of walls and floors. It is installed during the construction process to create a barrier that redirects water away from the basement. This helps protect the integrity of the structure and prevents issues such as mold growth and structural damage due to moisture. Proper installation is crucial for its effectiveness in maintaining a dry basement environment.

This will depend on the construction of the basement and whether the structure has failed, or there is an existing damp-proofing that has failed.
