Basement waterproofing in Bisley
For over 50 years, we’ve been helping the residents of Bisley to take control of dampness so they can experience the full extent of their home’s potential. When you’re ready to reclaim unused space in your home and convert your basement into a functional living space, we can help make this a reality.
You need to damp proof your basement before using it, even if you’ll only be using it for storage, as damp can cause widespread problems in your home. Without this essential step, you risk wasting money on flooring and decor that will eventually need to be ripped out and replaced. We’ll also help you to address moisture from everyday activities to help halt the build up of mould in your basement.
Basement waterproofing methods
While a damp proof course would be effective for protecting an above ground room, this method isn’t effective for below ground spaces. This is because of the presence of hydrostatic pressure that will force moisture in through the small holes in the brickwork and flooring. To counter this, you need to use physical barriers to help stop moisture getting into your home.
To address this issue, we use a range of methods known as basement tanking. This creates an impermeable barrier to moisture that will protect the space and keep it dry. We can either paint the walls and floor with a waterproofing slurry, or we can use waterproof membranes to block moisture and channel it to a pump where it can be removed from your home. We’ll help you to choose the right method for your home.

Who needs basement waterproofing?
Everyone with a basement can benefit from basement tanking, whether you have plans to convert the space or will only be using it for storage. Basement waterproofing helps to protect your home against the potential widespread damage that dampness can cause. Failing to tackle a damp problem can also lead to higher energy bills, as a damp home is much more difficult to heat. And finally, it can also impact the air quality in your entire home, as a damp basement could lead to mould build up.
Before converting your basement into a functional living space, consult the Tapco Homedry team in Bisley for expert advice and support. The space might seem dry enough, but once you change the use of the space, you’ll soon start to notice the side effects of moisture build up. This could even lead to black mould which is hazardous to health and needs to be eradicated. Don’t assume your basement has been waterproofed in the past; always get the advice of an expert before moving forward with your conversion.
