Basement waterproofing in Cobham

You don’t have to live with an unfinished basement if you have big plans for the space. And you don’t have to worry about digging into your foundations or turning your home into a building site, as all work can be carried out from the inside. By retrofitting basement waterproofing measures, you can transform your space without the stress.

The rest of your home is likely to be protected against damp using a damp proof course, but this method isn’t effective for below ground rooms due to the presence of hydrostatic pressure. Pressure from the earth outside your home forces water through the small holes and cracks in the floor and walls of your basement, and a DPC is not effective for preventing this.

Instead, we have to coat the walls and floor with a waterproofing layer to stop the moisture from getting through. We can help advise you on the ideal method for your home, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.

Basement waterproofing methods

Every home is unique, so we start with a damp proofing survey to better understand the risk factors and then advise you on the best available methods to help put things right. Before you invest in further conversion work and decor for your basement space, make sure that you have addressed the waterproofing measures.

One method for waterproofing a basement space involves coating the walls and floor with a waterproofing slurry that dries hard and creates an impermeable layer. This can then be tiled and rendered to make an attractive basement space that is both dry and comfortable.

The second method involves using sheets of waterproofing membrane to create a structure within a structure. We can then channel water between the membrane and the walls/floor towards a pump to remove the moisture from your home.

Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?

Even if you aren’t planning to use your basement for anything other than storage, your entire home could benefit from basement waterproofing measures. It can help to improve comfort throughout your entire home, while also providing additional benefits.

First, it can drive down energy bills by making it easier for you to keep your home warm and comfortable. A damp warm is very difficult to heat, so your energy bills could spiral out of control while the overall comfort level in your home doesn’t improve. With a dry basement, your entire home will experience the benefits.

Basement waterproofing can also improve the air quality in your home by stopping the build up of toxic mould and mildew. This can help to protect the most vulnerable residents while also improving the smell in your home by removing damp and musty odours that spread up from your basement.
