Basement waterproofing in Gatwick

If you’re sitting on top of an unfinished basement, you might be wondering about the untapped potential of your property. Before you can unlock this potential and make the most of the space, you need to ensure that the space is properly protected against moisture ingress.

You risk having to rip out all of your hard work and starting again if you fail to complete this essential step. Even if your basement appears dry, it’s often when you put down flooring and start to occupy the space that the issues become evident. And the cost of putting things right could be disastrous for your home improvement budget.

To help you to get it right the first time, book a home survey with the Tapco Homedry team. We can carry out the necessary investigations to determine if your basement is protected. We can then advise on the necessary steps to protect your home and your investment. Get in touch with our team today to learn more about protecting your basement against penetrating damp.

Basement waterproofing methods

It all starts with a home survey to determine what measures are already in place and how these can be improved or upgraded. We will identify any vulnerabilities that are unique to your property, so you can feel confident in the outcome of these measures.

There are two main methods for waterproofing a below ground space. Below ground spaces are unique as they are subject to something known as hydrostatic pressure. This means that pressure from the earth around your home forces moisture in through the small cracks and pores in your brickwork. A damp proof course is ineffective against this pressure, so we have to approach this in a different way.

We can either coat the walls and floors with a waterproofing mixture that is cured to form an impermeable moisture barrier. We can also use waterproofing membranes to create a structure within a structure that allows us to trap moisture and channel it out of your home. We will advise you on the right method for your property.

Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?

Even if you don’t plan to use your basement space, you can benefit from basement waterproofing. First, it will enable you to use the space for storage without worrying about mould and mildew damaging your possessions. And who couldn’t use the extra storage space?

Second, it will help to prevent mould and mildew build up in your basement space which could impact the air quality throughout your home. Allowing mould to thrive in your basement could lead to toxic spores entering your home, and this could be damaging for your health.

Finally, basement waterproofing gives you the option to convert your basement or cellar in the future. And if you plan to sell your home, it gives the prospective buyer the option to explore this as soon as they move in. This can help to boost the value of your home, even if you don’t spend a penny on the actual conversion work.
