Basement waterproofing is commonly completed during construction, but it’s also possible that your basement or cellar may have been left unfinished.

Trust Tapco Homedry to help you to complete this essential step in the basement conversion process.
Basement waterproofing in Tongham
For over 50 years, we’ve been helping homeowners in Tongham to take control of their basement waterproofing measures. It’s a simple step, but one that needs to be right before you move forward, and you can’t always rely on your builder to know if this step has been correctly completed. Once these measures are completed, you can move forward with your plans with complete confidence.
Your basement might look dry enough on the surface, but issues might arise once you start to occupy the space, and it could result in you having to rip everything out and start again. With our help, you can get it right the first time. This can help to prevent structural problems in your home. It can also help to prevent mould and mildew impacting the air quality throughout your home.
Basement waterproofing methods
Since every home is unique, we start with a damp survey to better understand the risk factors in play. Our report is delivered with the methods that we would recommend to help protect your basement and prepare it for your conversion plans.
There are two main methods for waterproofing a basement, and we can help you to choose the right one for your home. The first involves applying a waterproofing slurry to the floors and walls. This dries to form an impermeable moisture barrier that stops water entering your basement. The second is to use waterproof membrane sheets to create a waterproof structure within a structure. Moisture is collected below the membranes and directed into channels so it can be pumped out of your home.
You don’t have to know which is the right method for you. We can advise you every step of the way to ensure you feel confident in the results. The good news is that we can retrofit your basement waterproofing without digging into your foundations, so there is minimal disruption to your household.
Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?
All homeowners stand to benefit when their basement is fully protected. Even if you have no plans to use the space for anything other than storage, you can at least feel confident that your belongings are protected. This method can also help to prevent mould and mildew building up your home, which can prevent bad smells and poor air quality. And finally, basement waterproofing can boost the value of your property by offering an additional selling point to prospective buyers.
