Basement Waterproofing Specialist in Normandy
Thinking about a basement conversion in Normandy or the surrounding areas? Before you get started creating your dream basement space, give a thought to your basement waterproofing measures. Without this essential step, your home conversion could be at risk of water ingress that could lead to widespread damage. Not to mention, a damp basement will be expensive to heat and feel uncomfortable.
With the correct basement waterproofing measures in place, your home will be fully protected against the potential damage from penetrating damp. While this step is often completed during construction, it can fail over time. It’s also common for basements and cellars to be left unfinished. Thankfully, basement waterproofing can be retrofitted without the need to dig into foundations, which means minimal disruption during the process. Get in touch with Tapco Homedry today to learn more.

Damp anywhere in your home should be avoided as it can lead to bad smells that impact the air quality throughout your property. It might also make your home more difficult to heat, as high humidity levels make it more difficult to keep your home warm. This can cause your energy bills to increase while your home becomes less comfortable. With our help, you can ensure your entire property is protected against the risks associated with damp.
Basement waterproofing methods
Every basement waterproofing project will start with a home survey to better understand the risks present in your home. Every home is unique, so it’s essential to understand the risk factors present. There are two main methods for waterproofing a basement space, both of which will help to address the risk of hydrostatic pressure. Thankfully, all methods can be retrofitted to properties, even where there is partial protection in place.
The first method involves applying a thick slurry to the walls and floors. This sets to form a waterproof layer that keeps moisture out of the basement space. The second method uses waterproof membrane sheets to form a structure within a structure. Moisture can get through the walls and floor but not into the room. We can then pump the moisture out of your home to keep the space warm and dry.
