Basement Waterproofing Specialist in Westcott

Thinking about converting your basement in Westcott? Before you get started, it’s essential to make sure your basement waterproofing measures are up to date. This will allow you to convert your basement or cellar into a functional living space, confident in the knowledge that your space is fully protected against excess moisture.

Basement waterproofing may be completed during construction, but the space could also be left unfinished to cut costs. It will then be up to the homeowner to decide if and when they want to complete the process. It’s also possible that your basement waterproofing measures have failed over time, leading to vulnerabilities that could be allowing excess moisture to pool in your basement. Tapco Homedry can help you to address this and prepare your basement for your dream conversion.

Basement waterproofing in Westcott

We’ve been helping Westcott residents to take control of dampness in their homes for the past 50 years. We have the expertise and experience to deliver cost-effective and reliable results every time. If you have big dreams for your basement, we can help you to make these come true. You don’t have to move house to find the space you need; you simply need to maximise the space available to you.

Even if your basement space seems dry enough, we always recommend confirming the measures in place are sufficient with the help of a damp proofing expert. Damp could cause widespread issues, including structural problems and property damage. Not to mention, dampness can create the ideal conditions for mould and mildew to thrive. And finally, a damp home is also difficult to heat, so your energy bills might also spiral out of control.

Basement waterproofing methods

There are unique challenges present in every home, so we always start with a damp proofing home survey to better understand the risk factors. Once we know exactly what we are dealing with, we can offer our best recommendations that will enable you to move forward with your transformation.

There are two common methods for waterproofing a basement. The first is to coat the walls and floor with a waterproofing slurry that cures to form an impermeable moisture barrier. The second is to create a structure within a structure using sheets of membrane. This allows us to direct the water into channels so it can be pumped out of your home. 

You don’t have to know which method is right for your home, as we can advise you based on our home survey recommendations. Thankfully, both methods can be fitted retroactively to your property, without any need to dig into your foundations. This is great news for you, as it means minimum disruption to your home life while we complete the work.

Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?

All homeowners can benefit from waterproofing their basement space, even if they have no plans to use it yet. By protecting the space against moisture, you can stop the build up of mould, mildew and bad smells in your home. 

You could also use the space for storage until you decide what you would like to do with it. And selling a property with a finished basement could help to increase the asking price, as it will allow prospective buyers to put their own mark on the property.
