Structural Waterproofing in Holmwood

Thinking about a home extension? Worried about water ingress in your home? Preparing your basement for a complete makeover?

We start with a damp proofing survey to better understand the risk factors in your property. Every home is unique, so it’s essential to provide bespoke structural waterproofing measures.

What is structural waterproofing?

This is a broad term used to apply to a wide range of measures designed to protect a property against water ingress. Water in your home could lead to many problems, including mould build up, dry rot, broken cavity wall ties and increased utility bills. It can also be a health hazard for those with breathing difficulties as the quality of air will be impacted by things like mould and mildew.

Structural waterproofing is commonly implemented during construction, but it can also be retrofitted to existing properties to renew or replace existing methods. Common reasons to revisit your structural waterproofing include:

  • If you are concerned that existing measures may have failed.
  • If you’re planning to convert an unfinished basement or cellar.
  • If you are building an extension or converting a garage.

Whatever the reason for revisiting your structural waterproofing measures, the Tapco Homedry team in Holmwood is here to help. We can assist with everything from damp proof courses to basement tanking.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?

This is not so much a recommendation as a requirement. Structural waterproofing protects your property and your investment from the dangers posed by high moisture levels. Other benefits include:

  • Increased property value by expanding the livable space
  • Avoid structural issues related to moisture buildup
  • Keep your energy bills down by avoiding dampness
  • Improve the air quality in your home by removing mould and mildew

The structural waterproofing process

We start with a damp proofing survey to better understand what measures are already in place and what needs to be improved or replaced. We can also look for the risk factors present in your property that could increase the risks of damage from water ingress. Next, we’ll offer our expert recommendations, which could include:

  • A new damp proof course to help prevent rising damp. This is required for above ground rooms and helps to prevent damp rising from your foundations into your home. 
  • Basement tanking for below ground rooms. When there is hydrostatic pressure at play, a DPC won’t be effective. We use basement tanking to help keep moisture out of your basement space to ensure it remains comfortable and dry.

You don’t have to know which method is right for your home. We can visit your property and advise on the best route forward for your budget and requirements. Get in touch today to learn more about structural waterproofing in Holmwood.
