What is structural waterproofing?

This is a broad term that can be applied to a wide range of construction measures. They are all intended to prevent water getting into a structure. In the broadest sense, it also includes things like your roofing and rendering, but in a more specific sense, we’re talking about methods such as a damp proof course and basement tanking.

These methods are often implemented during the construction of your home, but they might fail over time, leaving your home vulnerable to water ingress. In the case of basement tanking, it’s also possible that your below ground space may have been left unfinished. There are a few reasons you might want to revisit your structural waterproofing measures:

  • You are extending your home with an extension or garage conversion
  • You’re converting your basement into a living space
  • You’re concerned that your structural waterproofing is no longer effective

Whatever the source of your concern, we can help. Get in touch with our team of structural waterproofing experts today to learn more about our cost-effective and reliable services.

The structural waterproofing process

There are many different methods available for addressing the structural waterproofing in your home. We can advise on the best one for your property. We start with a home damp proofing survey to better understand the risk factors facing your property so we can advise you on the best course of action. This could include:

  • Renewing your damp proof course (DPC) to prevent rising damp in your home. You may already have a DPC and it could have failed, or you might need a new one for an extension.
  • Basement tanking is ideal for below ground rooms where a damp proof course would be ineffective. This involves covering the walls and floor of your basement or cellar with a waterproofing layer. 

We can advise you on the ideal method for your home so you can move forward with confidence.
