The lift pit is the lowest point in the building, so water finds it. A wet pit can damage equipment and create safety risks. Here is how to prevent it.
Why pits flood
- High water table.
- Leaking walls or slab.
- Rain entering through the entrance.
- Burst pipes nearby.
Prevention
- Waterproof the pit during construction.
- Keep it free of pipes and drains.
- Plan a small sump if needed.
- Raise the landing sill slightly where possible.
- Inspect before and after monsoon.
If water enters
Stop using the lift and call your service company. Never enter a wet pit. See lift care during monsoon.
