Basement Waterproofing Specialist in Caterham

Thinking about converting your basement or cellar into a functional living space? Before you unlock the unused space in your home, it’s essential to ensure the space is protected against water ingress. Without this essential step, you could face the financial burden of having to rip out all of your hard work and start over. 

Save yourself the stress and get your basement waterproofing under control before taking any further steps. Your basement might seem dry enough in the summer, but moisture ingress can be a seasonal problem. It’s also more likely that you’ll only notice the higher moisture levels once you start occupying the space. Get in touch with Tapco Homedry in Caterham today to learn how we can help.

Basement waterproofing in Caterham

If your Caterham home has an unfinished basement or cellar, you could be sitting on untapped potential that could increase your property value and expand your functional living space. Many of these spaces are just waiting for a bit of imagination to turn them into useful spaces that your whole family can enjoy.

Above ground rooms are protected against moisture ingress using a damp proof course, but this won’t protect below ground spaces. For below ground rooms, you will need basement waterproofing measures to help safeguard your investment and keep the space comfortable. Moisture buildup can make a home uncomfortable and chilly, and it could also lead to a buildup of mildew or toxic mould which could be a health risk for residents.

We offer a wide range of services that can be adapted to your home, ensuring that your space is fully protected against the risk of moisture ingress. You don’t have to move house to find more living space; you may already have the solution below your feet. 

Basement waterproofing methods

Every home is unique, so we can help you to choose the basement waterproofing measures that are best suited to your space. Below ground rooms are subject to something known as hydrostatic pressure, which means water is forced through the small holes in the brickwork. A damp proof course is not effective for stopping this, so you need basement waterproofing measures.

We offer multiple methods to protect your basement from moisture ingress. We can either coat the floors and walls with a waterproofing slurry that is cured to form an impermeable moisture barrier. We can also use waterproofing membranes that will channel moisture towards a pump where it can be removed from your basement. We’ll help you choose the ideal solution for your home.

Who needs basement waterproofing?

Every homeowner can benefit from basement waterproofing, even if you don’t have plans to utilise the space yet. Protecting your basement against water ingress will protect your whole home.

It can help you to save on energy bills, since a damp home is more expensive to heat and more difficult to keep comfortable. It can also allow you to use the basement space for storage without worrying about mould and mildew damaging your items.

Damp proofing will also improve the air quality throughout your home. Damp is commonly associated with a damp and musty odour that can spread throughout your home. Basement waterproofing will pave the way for you to reimagine how you use your basement space.
