Basement Waterproofing Specialist in Holmwood

Thinking about a basement or cellar conversion? Ready to uncover more liveable space in your home? Before you start the fun task of converting and decorating your space, you need to make sure the basics are covered. Basement waterproofing is an essential task to tick off your list before you move forward with your conversion plans.

Your basement space might seem dry enough, but this is often because the space is uninhabited. It can also be seasonal, so it will be a very different story by the winter. If you want to safeguard your home and avoid the additional cost of having to remove everything from your basement and start from scratch, then it’s essential to address your structural waterproofing as a matter of urgency.

Basement waterproofing in Holmwood

Many homes in the Holmwood area are sitting on unfinished basements and cellars. They’re just waiting for a touch of imagination to help transform them into functional living spaces that enhance the home. While the rest of your home might be protected against damp by using a damp proof course, below ground rooms are different. This is why basement tanking is essential.

If your basement is unfinished, or if you have previously had basement tanking carried out but you’re concerned that it has failed, we can help. We offer a range of cost-effective options for properly waterproofing the space that don’t require us to dig into your foundations. There’s minimal disruption for your household and your neighbours. 

We can help you to unlock more functional living space in your home, so you can make your home work for you rather than having to move house in search of more space. You can also avoid having to give up a section of your garden in order to expand your home.

Basement waterproofing methods

Every home is unique, so we’ll help you to select the basement waterproofing measures that are right for you. Since basements are below ground, they are subject to something called hydrostatic pressure. This means a routine damp proof course won’t help to stop moisture. Instead, we use basement tanking to keep the moisture out.

This can be achieved through a range of methods, including covering your walls and floor in a waterproofing slurry that dries and forms an impermeable barrier. Or we can use sheets of membrane to lock moisture out. We’ll help you to select the right method for your space.

Who needs basement waterproofing?

Even if you don’t have plans to use the space, you can benefit from basement waterproofing in Holmwood. Protecting your home from water ingress will help to safeguard against risk factors such as dry rot and broken cavity wall ties.

You can also save on your energy bills, since a dry home is much easier to heat and keep comfortable in the winter months. If you’re planning to use your basement for storage, protecting your possessions against damp, mould and mildew is essential.

Damp proofing also helps to improve the air quality throughout your home. If your basement is damp, these bad smells can spread throughout your home. And if you have mould, this can quickly become a health hazard. Basement waterproofing can also make your home more attractive for prospective buyers.
