Basement Waterproofing Specialist in West Molesey
Before you get started with your basement conversion plans, you need to ask yourself one important question. Do you have basement waterproofing in place? We’re the local experts for the West Molesey region, offering cost-effective and reliable solutions that will get your basement conversion plans back on track.
Basement waterproofing is something commonly completed during construction, but it could be that your space was left unfinished to save money. It’s then down to the homeowner to decide if they would like to use the space. Basement waterproofing can also fail over time, which could mean that you assume that your space is protected, but moisture is still getting in. Whatever your situation, Tapco Homedry in West Molesey can help.
Basement waterproofing in West Molesey
For the past 50 years, we’ve been helping West Molesey residents to take care of the basement waterproofing measures so they can achieve incredible home transformations. This simple step is essential to get right, as the rest of the conversion plans rely on the space being protected against moisture ingress. With these measures in place, you can move forward with confidence.
Even if you think the space seems dry enough, it’s recommended to confirm the measures are working correctly so that you don’t miss small problems that could quickly become much bigger. Damp could lead to structural problems throughout your home. It could also create the ideal conditions for mould and mildew, which can impact the air quality throughout your entire home, not just your basement.
Basement waterproofing methods
Every home is unique, which is why we start with a home survey to better understand the space and what measures are already in place. Next, we can deliver our recommendations in a comprehensive report that explains the options available to you and the possible implications for the homeowner.
The most common methods for waterproofing a basement include the slurry method and the membrane method. With the former, we coat the walls and floor with a thick slurry that cures and creates an impermeable barrier to keep moisture out. With the second method, we create a structure within a structure from waterproof membrane sheets. The water collects below the membranes and can be diverted out of your home.
We don’t expect you to know which method is right for you. We’ll advise you every step of the way. You’ll also be pleased to know that both methods can be retrofitted to existing properties without the need to dig into your foundations. This is great news for your household, but also great news for your neighbours as they won’t be disturbed.
Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?
Every homeowner stands to benefit from proper basement waterproofing measures. Even if you have no plans to use the space, at the very least, you will expand the storage capacity of your home. You can also help to prevent mould, mildew and bad smells developing in your home. When the time comes to sell your property, a finished basement is a big selling point, as it allows the buyer to put their own stamp on the place and make it their own.
