Basement waterproofing in Woking
If you have an unfinished basement in your home, a basement conversion could be closer to reality than you think. Lots of homeowners assume there is nothing they can do without digging into their foundations, but this simply isn’t the case. Modern basement solutions will allow you to completely protect your home against moisture ingress without turning your property into a building site.
It’s easy enough to protect above ground rooms from rising damp using a damp proof course, but these methods aren’t effective for below ground spaces. In these special circumstances, we have to use basement tanking methods to stop moisture from seeping into your home through the small cracks in your basement floor and walls.
This is because of the presence of hydrostatic pressure, which is present all around your home. Moisture in the earth around your home is subject to high pressure from the weight of the earth, and this pushes the small water molecules to areas of lower pressure, which is inside your basement or cellar. This can result in water pooling in the space that could damage your decor and possessions.
Basement waterproofing methods
Every home is unique, so we always start with a damp proofing survey so that we can quickly get to grips with the challenge in front of us. Once we know what measures are already in place, we can offer recommendations on how to improve and enhance your basement waterproofing.
One method would be to use waterproof sheets of membrane to create a structure within a structure. Moisture is caught between the walls and floor and the membrane, which can allow us to direct this moisture towards a pump and remove it from your home.
Another method would be to coat the walls and floor with a waterproofing mixture that dries to form an impermeable moisture barrier that keeps the water out completely. Both of these methods can be retrofitted to existing properties from the inside, minimising disruption for the homeowner and their neighbours.

Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?
Everyone can benefit from basement waterproofing, even if you have no plans to use the space. By introducing basement waterproofing measures, you can protect your home from cosmetic and structural damage related to moisture ingress. You might think the issues are confined to your basement, but it can soon become an issue for your entire home.
A damp basement could allow toxic mould and mildew to thrive, which can impact the air quality throughout your home. Damp smells can spread from your basement, making your entire home smell unpleasant.
Another issue with having a damp basement is that it can make your home more difficult to keep warm and comfortable. Damp homes are more difficult to heat due to high humidity levels. This can cause your energy bills to spiral out of control.
By protecting your basement against moisture ingress, you can also increase the value of your property, as a finished basement ready for a conversion is very popular with buyers.
