Basement waterproofing in Woldingham

If you have big plans for your basement, the first step is to tackle your damp problem. It’s not uncommon for basement spaces to remain unfinished. But the good news is that we don’t have to dig into your foundations to implement basement waterproofing measures. We can retrofit basement waterproofing measures so that you can transform your home without the stress.

Above ground rooms are commonly protected against damp by a damp proof course, but this is ineffective in below ground rooms like basements and cellars. Below ground, your home is subject to something called hydrostatic pressure. This is when the earth around your home forces moisture to move from areas of high pressure (the ground) into areas of low pressure (your basement). 

Moisture can pass through tiny holes in the walls and floor of your basement where it will then pool and cause widespread problems. To stop this, we have to coat your walls and floor in a waterproofing layer, and we can achieve this in a few different ways.

Basement waterproofing methods

Every property is unique, so we always start with a damp proofing survey to better understand what measures are currently in place and if they are working. Next, we will advise you on the options available to you and which ones will be best suited to your goals.

One method for waterproofing a basement space is to cover the walls and floor with a waterproofing mixture that dries to form an impermeable layer. You can then tile the flooring and render the walls before decorating to your specifications. This is a great way to achieve a dry and comfortable basement.

Another method uses waterproofing membranes that create a room within a room. Moisture is trapped between the walls and floor and the membranes. It can then be channelled towards a pump and removed from your home.
