Basement and cellar damp proofing in Camberwell

Extending the livable space in your home by converting a basement or cellar is a smart move and could increase the value of your property, but only if it is done correctly. With our basement and cellar damp proofing measures, you can move forward with your basement or cellar conversion with confidence. Without this essential step, you risk damage to your fixtures, furniture and possessions as a result of damp and moisture build up.

To avoid this, we always recommend professional basement and cellar damp proofing to ensure that the space is dry and ready for conversion. Even if you are only planning to use the space for storage, it’s a good idea to make sure the space is dry, as dampness can cause irreparable damage to anything you store in the space. If you’re not sure if your basement or cellar has been waterproofed, we can help advise you.

What damp proofing measures are recommended?

The damp proofing measures that we implement are always unique based on the structure. We would first confirm if the space has been properly waterproofed using a method such as tanking. If it has and this measure is still fully functional, we would then look for other potential causes of the damp problem. 

Water could be getting in from faults in your roof or rendering, or you may have a hidden burst pipe in your home. Broken guttering can also lead to dampness in your home. Another common cause of damp in below ground spaces is condensation from poor ventilation. If this is the case, we can advise on the measures you will need to take to ensure that your basement remains dry and free from damp.

Is it worth tanking a cellar?

Yes, it is definitely worth tanking a cellar. Investing in a tanking system can help to protect your property from rising damp, stop damp coming through walls and floors, and prevent the build-up of condensation. Tanking can also make your basement more liveable by creating an improved environment with better air quality and temperature control.

How do I stop damp coming through my cellar?

The best way to stop damp coming through your cellar is to install a waterproof membrane or tanking system. This will create an impermeable barrier between the ground and your living space, keeping out moisture and preventing damp issues in the future. Depending on your individual requirements, our team may also suggest installing a cavity drain inside the room to help draw out moisture and prevent build up.

Who can benefit from basement and cellar damp proofing?

Basement and cellar damp proofing is a good idea for anyone with a below ground room. Even if you don’t plan to use the space as a living space, you can still benefit by protecting your home from damp and moisture. This will help to ensure your home is structurally sound, and reduce the risk of damage over time. Converting a basement or cellar space can be a great way to create additional usable space in your home without taking up more land. But it is important that these spaces are properly waterproofed before they are converted into living areas.

Our team of experienced professionals can advise on the steps you need to take to turn a damp or musty cellar into a beautiful living space. We can provide a range of damp proofing measures that ensure your basement or cellar is properly protected and safe for use.
