The author explains that while Antiflood Barriers are effective at reducing seepage into basements and protecting air bricks from potential water entry points outside the home such as patios or pathways built too high above damp proof course level. However there are still many variables that could cause seepage through ground like porosity of soil or cracked/damaged drains which need attention.
