Basement waterproofing is commonly carried out during construction, but these measures are known to fail over time.

The result will be that your home is at risk of a damp problem that might not be isolated to your basement.
Basement waterproofing in Blindley Heath
For the past 50 years, Tapco Homedry has been supporting the residents of Blindley Heath with their basement waterproofing needs. We help homeowners just like you to take back control and maximise the space in their homes. Basement waterproofing is often the first essential step towards a successful basement conversion.
You could realise the full potential of your home if you are able to expand into your basement space. We have helped homeowners to turn basement spaces into a wide range of functional rooms, including home offices, guest bedrooms, playrooms and gyms. This could help to increase the value of your property.
Before converting the space, it is essential that you ensure the space is protected against water ingress. It’s also worth noting that a damp proof course is not effective for protecting below ground rooms. Specialist measures are required in order to prevent water ingress to the presence of hydrostatic pressure. With this in mind, we recommend a range of basement tanking methods to help protect your space.
Basement waterproofing methods
The right method of basement waterproofing for your home will depend on a number of factors. We can help you to choose the right one following a damp proof survey which will help us to identify the main risk factors. The first method of basement waterproofing involves painting the walls and floor with a waterproofing slurry which helps to stop water ingress.
The second method uses waterproof membranes to create a structure within a structure. The water can pass through the walls and floors but is blocked from getting into the main room. Rather than allow this water to pool below the membranes, it is then directed into channels and pumped out of your home. There are benefits for each method and we can help you to select the right one for your needs.
