Basement waterproofing methods

Since basements are below ground, they cannot be protected against water ingress using measures such as a damp proof course. This is due to something known as hydrostatic pressure, which forces water through the floor and walls of your basement. To stop this, we can coat the walls and floor with a waterproofing layer which creates an impermeable moisture barrier.

Another successful method would be to create a structure within a structure using waterproof membrane. These sheets of membrane allow water through the brickwork but stop it getting into the room. The water can then be directed into channels and pumped out of your home Both methods are highly effective and can provide long-lasting protection against moisture ingress.

Who needs basement waterproofing?

Every homeowner in Byfleet should consider basement waterproofing, even if they don’t currently have plans to occupy their basement. If your basement is only used for storage, it can be beneficial to protect your belongings against damp. And if you’re planning to sell your home in the future, a properly protected basement can increase the property value by boosting its potential in the eyes of prospective buyers.

It can also offer benefits to residents, even if they don’t plan to occupy the space. A damp basement can lead to mould and mildew spreading throughout your home. This can impact the air quality and lead to bad smells. Mould is also a health risk for the very young, the very old and those with breathing problems. It can also be harmful to pets.
