What is structural waterproofing?
Structural waterproofing is the name given to any process that helps to protect a property against water ingress. Damp is bad news for homes, as it can make them cold and uncomfortable. It also provides the ideal conditions for mould to thrive, which can be a health hazard. Modern homes are designed with structural waterproofing in mind, but these measures may be outdated or prone to failure. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to have to renew these measures.
We commonly provide damp proof courses and basement tanking as part of our structural waterproofing service. Without these measures in place, your home can quickly become damp, musty and difficult to keep warm. This can lead to higher energy bills and health problems for those prone to breathing problems. With Tapco Homedry on your side, you can counteract the potential negative impact of damp on your home.
What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?
Structural waterproofing is an essential part of home maintenance. It’s not so much a recommendation as a requirement. Without these measures in place, your home will be at risk of becoming damp and uninhabitable. Damage to cavity wall ties can allow the walls to crumble, while dry rot can attack the timber structures in your home.
Structural waterproofing also helps to maintain a pleasant atmosphere in your home and also improves the air quality. By properly protecting below ground spaces, you can also unlock additional potential in your home, allowing you to maximise the space available to you. Structural waterproofing could be all you need to turn a damp basement into a functional living space.

How does the structural waterproofing process work?
There are many ways to protect a home against water ingress from the outside. These methods are commonly installed during construction, but they are known to fail over time, leaving your home vulnerable. Thankfully, we have the ability to restore or replace these waterproofing measures without the need to dig into your foundations – and this is great news for you and your neighbours.
A failed damp proof course is a common reason that damp occurs in homes. We can renew this treatment to help protect your property from rising damp. In below ground rooms, basement tanking is the preferred method for protecting spaces. This involves installing an impermeable barrier against moisture in your basement space to help stop water seeping into your home and causing extensive damage. We can advise you on the best methods for your needs.
