Basement Waterproofing Specialist in Wisley
Before you start the process of converting your basement or cellar into a new living space, you need to check that the space is fully protected against moisture ingress. The rest of your home is likely to be protected with a damp proof course, but this method is ineffective for rooms below ground level. Instead, you need to call in a basement waterproofing expert for advice and support.
This process is commonly completed during construction, but you may also have an unfinished basement space. Don’t be fooled, that room might seem dry enough, but without the right measures in place you’ll soon be dealing with pooling water and excess moisture that will damage your decor and furnishings. Tapco Homedry can help you to get it right the first time so you can realise the full potential of your property.
Basement waterproofing in Wisley
For the past 50 years, we’ve been helping Wisley homeowners like you to take control of the dampness and moisture levels in their homes. If you have grand plans for your basement space, we can help you to make these a reality. Rather than moving to a new home, you could find the space you need, right under your feet.
Before moving forward with your plans, make sure that you address the waterproofing measures. This will provide peace of mind and protection against the risks posed by dampness. Damp is not only going to cause damage, but it also makes the space incredibly uncomfortable and unpleasant. It will be difficult to keep warm, there will be bad smells, and you might even face the threats of black mould.
Basement waterproofing methods
Every home is unique, so we always start with a home survey to better understand the construction methods and the risk factors at play. Once we know what we’re dealing with, we can provide recommendations to help you achieve your dream basement transformation.
The two most popular methods for basement waterproofing are better known as basement tanking. This helps us to deal with the unique demands of below ground spaces, where hydrostatic pressure forces moisture through the tiny holes and cracks in your basement floor and ceiling.
To address this, we can either coat the walls and floor with a waterproofing slurry that is then cured to create an impermeable moisture barrier, or we can use waterproofing membranes to create a structure within a structure. Both methods are highly effective, and we can help to advise you on the best one for your home.
Thankfully, all basement tanking methods can be completed from the outside and retrofitted without having to dig into your foundations. This is great news for you, and great news for your neighbours who might be disturbed by this work.
Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?
Every home can benefit from a dry basement. It could allow you to use the space for extra storage, secure in the knowledge that your possessions are protected against mould and mildew.
Basement waterproofing can also improve the air quality in your home and prevent bad smells and toxic mould from developing. And finally, it’s an essential first step before you start the basement conversion process.
