This will help to protect your home and safeguard your investment for years to come.

We will use the latest tools and techniques to address the water ingress issues that might be facing your property. It all starts with a damp proofing survey to understand the risk factors and vulnerabilities. Next, we can address the waterproofing measures that need to be put in place to help protect your home or business.

What is structural waterproofing?

This is a term that can be applied to a wide range of treatments intended to protect your home against water ingress. Water build up in your home will make it more difficult to heat. The air quality will also be impacted by musty smells and mould spores. Finally, damp can also lead to structural problems including dry rot and broken cavity wall ties.

Structural waterproofing is commonly implemented during construction, but there are many reasons you might need to revisit this. 

  • You might be concerned that your waterproofing measures have failed over the years.
  • You might be planning to convert an unfinished basement space.
  • You might be building an extension and need to extend your structural waterproofing.

The structural waterproofing process

It all starts with a damp proofing survey to help understand what measures are currently in place and if they are working effectively. This will also identify the risk factors present in your home. We can then offer our recommendations based on the best practice for your situation. This could include:

  • A damp proof course may be recommended for above ground rooms to help stop the risk of rising damp. This is a chemical injection into your brickwork that will stop moisture from entering your property. 
  • Basement tanking will help to protect below ground rooms from penetrating damp. This works by coating the walls and floor in a waterproofing layer that blocks moisture from getting into the space, even with the presence of hydrostatic pressure.

If you’re unsure which method is right for you, we can help advise you. Get in touch today to get expert support on structural waterproofing in Godstone.
