What is structural waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing can refer to a range of processes that will help to protect a structure against excess moisture. These preventative measures will help to keep your home warm and dry, while also protecting the building materials against structural damage caused by dampness.

It’s an essential part of the construction process, and many measures are implemented at the construction stage. It’s also possible to revisit your structural waterproofing at any time if you are concerned that measures may have failed, or if you would like to expand your property.

There are two main methods of structural waterproofing, and we can help you to choose the right method for your property. The first is a damp proof course, and this helps to prevent rising damp in above ground rooms. The second is basement tanking, and this helps to prevent penetrating damp in below ground rooms.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing is a building requirement, and it has been for a long time. That said, there are new methods now available that might be more effective than the methods that were implemented when your property was built. Retrofitting properties with new structural waterproofing methods is very common.

Protecting your home against moisture ingress will not only help you to avoid damage, but it can also help to make your home more comfortable and pleasant. Dampness will make it difficult to heat your home, so you might notice a decline in comfort while your energy bills are increasing. 

Structural waterproofing also opens up a world of possibilities for expanding your home. You might not have to move house to find the space you need for a growing family or changing demands on your family home. By waterproofing your basement or cellar, you could unlock the full potential of your property.

How does the structural waterproofing process work?

Structural waterproofing should always be carried out by a professional due to the risks associated with getting it wrong. We always start with a damp proofing survey to help us to understand the risk factors and challenges present in your home. Next, we can advise on the methods that will be best suited to your needs.

The most common methods are a damp proof course, which is a chemical injection into your brickwork that helps to create a moisture buried to stop rising damp. For below ground spaces, basement tanking would be more appropriate. You don’t have to know which one is right for you, as we can guide you every step of the way.
