We use the latest tools and technology to identify the risk factors and then use the latest measures to help keep moisture out. The result is a warm and dry property that is comfortable to live in, cost-effective to heat, and more diverse in its use of space. If you’re looking for more living space without having to move, get in touch with Tapco Homedry today to learn how we can help make these dreams a reality.
What is structural waterproofing?
This is simply a term that refers to any waterproofing process to keep moisture out of your home. It covers everything from the tiles on your roof to the brick work. To stop rising damp, we use something known as a damp proof course. And to stop penetrating damp below ground, we use basement tanking.
These measures are commonly implemented during construction, but they can fail or require an update or an upgrade over time. And if you’re expanding or converting part of your property into a living space, it’s always worth reviewing the structural waterproofing measures.
You can’t rely on contractors to let you know if you have the right structural waterproofing in place. Without the right tools, techniques and experience, it’s easy to get this step wrong. This could cost you a lot of money in the long-term if you have to implement structural waterproofing after you have converted your basement space. For peace of mind, arrange a no-obligation waterproofing report from our team of experts.
The structural waterproofing process
We start with a damp proofing survey to identify the risk factors facing your property. Remember that every home is unique, so it’s important to have a clear picture of your current structural waterproofing measures and how effective they are. We can then provide our recommendations, which could include a damp proof course or basement tanking.
- A damp proof course, or DPC, is one of the most common methods for waterproofing a structure to protect it against rising damp. This is a chemical injection into the brickwork that creates an impermeable moisture barrier.
- Basement tanking addresses the unique issues facing below ground rooms by creating a “structure within a structure” to help keep moisture out of your living space.
You don’t have to know which structural waterproofing measure is right for you. We can help advise you and ensure you’re able to make an informed choice about the right options for your property.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?
Structural waterproofing is not so much a recommendation as a requirement. You need to protect your home against water ingress or you could face many issues, including damp, mould, dry rot, broken cavity walls ties and more. Dampness in the home will make it unpleasant and difficult to heat. It can also lead to mould which is a health hazard for residents.
