Structural Waterproofing in Esher

Looking for structural waterproofing in Esher? If you’re planning a home extension or a basement conversion, you need to ensure your home is fully protected against the threat of moisture ingress. Structural waterproofing is commonly implemented during construction, but these measures are known to fail over time. You can update and renew your structural waterproofing for peace of mind.

Our cost effective service will include everything you need to address the structural waterproofing measures in your home. We use the latest tools to identify risk factors in your home and then employ the latest techniques to help put things right. With your structural waterproofing taken care of, you can enjoy a warm and comfortable home that enables you to maximise your living space.

What is structural waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing can refer to a wide range of processes designed to protect a structure against moisture. Building materials and water won’t mix well, and no one wants to live in a damp home. So, modern properties are built with structural waterproofing measures in mind. 

These measures are commonly installed during construction, but they can also be retrofitted and replaced after construction. If your structural waterproofing measures break down or fail over time, it’s possible to replace and renew them without digging into the foundations. If you are extending your home with a basement conversion or an extension, you’ll need to consider how to protect this new space from water ingress.

We don’t recommend relying on your contractors to confirm if your structural waterproofing is sufficient, as many will not be experts in the practice. Instead, trust the Tapco Homedry team to prioritise your needs and ensure your property is fully protected. We can carry out a comprehensive damp proofing survey to understand the risk factors and then offer recommendations for how to make sure your home remains free from damp.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?

There are so many benefits to structural waterproofing that it is less of a recommendation and more of a requirement. Water ingress can cause extensive damage in your home and make it uninhabitable. By addressing the structural waterproofing requirements, you can ensure that your home is dry, comfortable and easy to keep warm in the winter months. This will help to keep your energy bills down while also avoiding secondary issues such as mould and dry rot.

What is the structural waterproofing process?

To understand the risk factors facing your property, we start with a damp proofing survey to understand what measures are currently in place and what can be done to upgrade and replace your structural waterproofing measures. This could include:

  • Renewing or replacing your damp proof course. This will help to protect your home against rising damp by creating an impermeable moisture barrier in your cavity wall.
  • Implementing basement tanking to prevent water ingress into below ground rooms. Coating the walls and floor with a waterproof layer will help to keep moisture at bay.
