Basement waterproofing in Frimley explained

The process of basement waterproofing is essential before you start any conversion work as it will help to protect your investment. We can guide you through the process from start to finish, including an initial damp proofing survey to understand the risk factors posed in your basement space. 

While the process is often completed during construction, it’s also possible that your basement is unfinished, or that these measures could have failed over time. Thankfully, we don’t have to dig into your foundations to implement these measures after construction. All basement waterproofing can be retrofitted to existing properties with minimal disruption to your household. 

By preparing your basement space in this way, you will enjoy peace of mind knowing that your basement conversion will be successful. Don’t risk converting your basement without first covering this essential step.

Basement waterproofing methods

The rooms in your home above ground are protected against rising damp from the earth through a process known as a damp proof course. Sometimes referred to as a DPC, this is a chemical treatment for your brickwork that creates a moisture barrier to protect above ground rooms. However, this method isn’t effective for below ground spaces due to something known as hydrostatic pressure.

To keep moisture out of basement spaces, we have to create a barrier across the walls and floor. We can achieve this by applying a waterproofing slurry that cures to create a moisture barrier, or we can use sheets of waterproofing membrane which direct water into channels so it can be pumped out of your home. We can advise you on the ideal solution for your needs. Both methods are cost-effective and reliable choices that can be installed from the inside, which means minimal disruption for you.
