Basement conversions are growing in popularity as individuals look to improve their existing properties rather than move house. You could be sitting on plenty of untapped potential, right underneath your feet. If you want your basement conversion to be successful, it’s vital to address the issue of basement waterproofing first. We can work alongside your contactors to ensure a smooth handover.
Basement waterproofing will help to protect your investment against the threat associated with water ingress. A damp basement will not only smell musty, but it will also be difficult to heat. You might notice mould building up on surfaces and possessions, leaving you unable to keep anything in the space. By addressing your basement waterproofing measures before any conversion work takes place, you’ll enjoy peace of mind.
Basement waterproofing methods
Above ground rooms are protected against damp by using a damp proof course, but this method isn’t effective for below ground spaces like basements and cellars. This is because of something known as hydrostatic pressure, which simply means that moisture from areas of high pressure (the ground around your home) is pushed to areas of low pressure (inside your basement). To stop this, you need a method called basement tanking.
There are two main ways to achieve successful basement tanking. The first is to apply a waterproofing slurry to the walls and floors and allow this to harden before covering this with flooring and rendering the walls. The second method involves creating a structure within a structure using waterproof sheets of membrane. These allow water through the walls and floors but not into the inner room. This moisture can be directed to a pump and removed from your home.

Who needs basement waterproofing?
Every homeowner can benefit from basement waterproofing. It will improve the air quality throughout your home and help to avoid damp, mould and mildew build up. This will also mean you can use your basement for storage.
Basement waterproofing is also essential if you are planning a conversion. It can be very expensive to retrofit basement tanking measures after a conversion is completed, so it’s best to confirm the measures are in place before you start. You cannot rely on your construction team to carry out this step, as they might not have the experience or knowledge.
