Dear Fellows
I am planning to construct my house with basement on a one canal plot in DHA 6 in next 1-2 years.
I am thinking about constructing a small swimming pool for my kids in the basement of the house.
Has anyone on this web site got a first hand experience of constructing/researching to construct a swimming pool in basement of the house? :h
I have seen swimming pools on ground floor in one canal houses but that has a serious impact on the available space on ground floor which is not desirable by me. Basement seems a suitable place to have one in my opinion.
I have yet to consult an architect to discuss this idea. However if any knowledgeable brother on this website can shed some light on the pro's and cons of the idea, and any estimated cost for this venture, it would be a great help.
Many Thanx

it would cause longterm damage and shorter the life of house enventually. one cannote stop the seepage anyway.small unfeelable tremers of ground cannot stop the shearing of walls and basement ultimately. however a dam engineer can help you if u r dicided to make such luxury plan |

never build a pool in the basement as it is dark and get very dull view. best is to build a pool in ground floor |

Environment in basement is not an issue..it you design a frame structure and raise the plinth level 1ft and keep windows all along. Pump room and noise is also not an issue if u project this out side below backyard.... |

Seepage in the basement can cause un-treatable problems and life long tension. In my commercial Plaza I have a problem of seepage in the basement. I contacted a German firm working in Lahore. Their treatment was costing around Rs.500 per SFT excluding civil works which were to be manage and finance in addition. I finally treated it through a local company.I don't know, I can tell after the Mansoon.
My advise is buy a two kanal plot and have house on one Kanal without basement and use the other kanal for what ever you prefer. You will still save money and tension. |

Very wrong idea.
It is better to have pool on roof rather than basement. |
