Planning a basement conversion? Before you start planning the decor for your exciting home extension, it’s essential that you make sure the space is protected from penetrating damp.

If you’re looking for basement waterproofing in Dorking, Tapco Homedry can help. Don’t risk ruining your hard work by leaving it too late.

With our help, you can move forward with your basement conversion with complete confidence.

Basement waterproofing in Dorking

If you have an unfinished basement below your home, you could be sitting on plenty of untapped potential. Rather than moving to a new home to find the space you need, you could convert your basement into a functional living space that is perfect for an extra bedroom, a home cinema, and office space or even a gym. We can help to protect your investment by ensuring the space has the right measures in place to prevent water ingress.

Even if your basement seems dry enough, without the right measures in place, you’ll soon start to notice the problems with pooling water and condensation. And this could mean you have to tear out all of your hard work and start again. Not to mention, it could cause widespread damage to your possessions.

To prevent this, we recommend basement waterproofing to protect the space and allow you to move forward with confidence. We don’t have to dig into your foundations to retrofit these measures in your home, which means less disruption for you and your neighbours.

Basement waterproofing methods

Every home is different, so we like to start with a home survey to understand the unique risk factors at play. We can see what measures are already in place and what measures need to be implemented before you can move forward with your renovations.

There are two main methods for waterproofing a basement space. These are unique as they allow us to deal with something called hydrostatic pressure. A damp proof course would not be effective for a below ground room, so we need to take a different approach in this instance.

The first method involves using a waterproofing mixture that is painted onto the floor and walls to create an impermeable moisture barrier. This helps to lock moisture out of your basement and keeps the space dry. The second method involves using sheets of waterproof membrane to create a structure within a structure. These sheets keep the moisture out of the room and channel it towards a pump where it can be removed from your property.

Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?

Every homeowner can benefit from basement waterproofing, even if you currently have no plans to use your basement as an extra living space. At the very least, you will be able to use the basement for storage – and who couldn’t use the extra storage space?

Another benefit of basement waterproofing is that it will help to stop the build up of damp related issues such as mould and mildew. These can impact the air quality throughout your home, so taking action can help to prevent health hazards from developing. 

And finally, a waterproof basement can be an attractive feature for prospective buyers. If you’re thinking about selling your home, waterproofing the basement can increase the value without having to actually convert the space. Buyers will love the prospect of a blank canvas to work with.
