Basement waterproofing in Farnham
Whether your basement is unfinished or you suspect the basement waterproofing measures have failed, you don’t have to live with this problem. We can retrofit basement waterproofing measures in your home without the need to dig into the foundations or cause mess and disruption for your household and your neighbours.
When you invest in basement waterproofing, you also protect the rest of your home from the risks associated with damp. Above ground rooms are protected by cavity walls and a damp proof course, but you can further enhance this protection by choosing basement waterproofing.
To protect the basement against water ingress, we can either coat the walls and floor in a waterproofing mixture that dries to form an impermeable barrier, or we can use waterproof membranes to create a structure within a structure. This will provide complete protection against water ingress, so you can move forward with your basement transformation plans.
Basement waterproofing methods
There are lots of different ways to protect a home against moisture ingress, so we always start with a damp proofing survey to better understand what measures are already in place. From there, we can see all of the risk factors in play and we can better advise on the best route forward.
One method would be to coat the walls and floor with a waterproofing mixture that dries to create an impermeable barrier to keep moisture out of the space. We can then tile and render over the top so that your basement is ready for you to put the finishing touches on the decor.
Another method would be to use sheets of waterproofing membrane to make a structure within a structure. This method traps moisture between the membranes and the walls and floor of the basement. It can then be channelled towards a pump and removed from your home.

Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?
All homeowners stand to benefit from basement waterproofing, even if you don’t plan to use the space for anything other than storage. It can help to make your entire home more comfortable and will safeguard against common issues related to damp.
Basement waterproofing can drive down your energy bills and make it easier for you to heat your home. A damp home is difficult to heat and will remain uncomfortable, no matter how high you turn up the thermostat.
Keeping your basement dry can also prevent issues related to the build up of mildew and toxic mould. This can spread bad smells throughout your home while also impacting the air quality. So even if you only plan to use the space for storage, you can benefit from making sure the entire basement is dry and free from mould.
