Basement waterproofing is usually carried out during construction, but some basements and cellars are left unfinished.

Basement waterproofing in Bletchingley
For over 50 years, Tapco Homedry has been helping the residents of Bletchingley and the surrounding regions with their basement waterproofing requirements. We assist homeowners throughout your area with simple measures to help address the problem of water ingress into basement spaces. This is often the first step before a successful basement conversion.
Your home could have plenty of untapped potential if you maximise the space below your feet. Basements and cellars are commonly converted to help increase the functional living space in a home and boost the value of the property. Your basement or cellar could provide ample storage, or you can make it an additional living space such as a guest suite, cinema, gym or office.
Before converting this space, you need to make sure it is properly protected against moisture ingress from the outside. A damp proof course won’t be effective in below ground rooms due to something known as hydrostatic pressure. This is when moisture is forced from areas of high pressure (the ground outside your home) into areas of low pressure (your basement space) through the tiny cracks and pores in your brickwork.
Basement waterproofing methods
There are two main methods for protecting a basement from water ingress. We start with a damp proofing survey to understand the extent and cause of your damp problem and then we can use this insight to offer recommendations. The first method involves painting the flooring and walls with a waterproofing slurry which hardens into an impermeable barrier. This is highly effective for keeping water out of your home.
The second method uses sheets of membrane to create a structure within a structure. The moisture is able to pass through the floor and walls of your basement, but it is then directed into channels and pumped out of your home. Both methods are highly effective for protecting below ground rooms such as basements and cellars, and we can advise you on the right methods for your needs.

Who needs basement waterproofing?
Any homeowner with a basement or cellar can benefit from basement waterproofing and basement tanking. Even if you don’t plan to use the space, it can add value to your property and make it more attractive to prospective buyers. It can also help to protect the space if you plan to use it for storage only.
A damp basement can also impact the air quality in your home and make your home more difficult to heat. The simple step of waterproofing your basement space can enhance protection and make sure that you don’t have to deal with damp or dry rot problems in your home. And if you’re thinking about converting the space into a functional living space, waterproofing is an essential first step.
