Structural waterproofing explained

Structural waterproofing applies to many different methods, all of which are intended to help keep moisture out of your home. This will not only help to keep your home comfortable and warm, but it will also help to prevent structural damage from secondary issues. While structural waterproofing is an essential part of the construction process, it is also possible to retrofit these measures without digging into the ground around your home.

If you want your home to remain dry, warm and comfortable all year round, you need to make sure you pay close attention to the structural waterproofing measures in place. Without this essential protection, your home could be at risk of damp, mould, mildew, dry rot and broken cavity wall ties. 

And if you are extending or converting any part of your home, it is essential to ensure your structural waterproofing measures are extended into these spaces. This could include a basement conversion, garage conversion or a home extension.

Who should consider structural waterproofing?

Every homeowner needs to be aware of the importance of structural waterproofing. If you suspect you may have a damp problem, a home survey can help to get to the bottom of the problem and identify if you need to renew or install structural waterproofing measures. These could include:

  • A damp proof course can help to protect above ground rooms from rising damp. These are known to fail and may need to be renewed or updated.
  • Basement tanking is ideal for below ground rooms where penetrating damp could be a concern. 
  • If you are extending your home, it’s essential to make sure your extension includes waterproofing measures to protect your investment.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing is less of a suggestion and more of a requirement. Without these essential measures in place, your home could quickly become damp, cold, uncomfortable and it could lead to structural damage that leaves it uninhabitable. Damp homes are also very difficult to heat, which means your energy bills could continue to rise while your home remains uncomfortable.

With the right structural waterproofing in place, you could unleash untapped potential in your home. For example, you could convert a damp and cold basement into a warm, dry and fully functioning living space. This could allow you to find the space for your growing family without having to go through the stress of moving to a larger property.
