What is structural waterproofing?

This is a term that applies to a wide range of measures intended to protect a structure against water ingress. Structural waterproofing is commonly implemented during construction to help protect homes against the damage associated with damp.

If these measures fail over time, it’s also possible to retrofit structural waterproofing measures without the need to dig into the foundations. Structural waterproofing can be replaced or renewed from the inside of your home, or it can be added to home extension projects. 

With so many solutions available, it’s essential to speak to an expert about the best choice for your home. We can help to guide you through the process from start to finish so that you can feel confident in the results. We start with a damp proofing survey to help identify risk factors and then deliver our recommendations in a no-obligation report.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing for your home is less of a recommendation and more of a requirement. Your home needs to be protected against water ingress, or you could face widespread structural damage and an unpleasant living environment. A damp home is difficult to heat and can create the ideal conditions for mould and mildew to develop. This can quickly become a health risk for residents.

Our structural waterproofing measures will protect your home and help to drive down your energy bills. It will also help to protect against structural issues such as broken cavity wall ties which could lead to collapsing outer walls which will be very expensive to repair. Structural waterproofing also helps to prevent secondary issues, such as dry rot which can impact the structural integrity of your home.

How does the structural waterproofing process work?

The process all starts with a damp proofing survey to help identify risk factors in your home. The approach will vary depending on whether you are extending or converting part of your property, or if there is an issue with your existing structural waterproofing. Measures we could implement could include a new damp proof course or basement tanking to help protect below ground rooms.

A damp proof course is one of the most well-known structural waterproofing measures. This is a chemical treatment injected into your brickwork that stops rising damp. Basement waterproofing creates a physical barrier to moisture along the walls and floor of your basement to help prevent water from getting in through the small pores in your brickwork. We can advise you on the best methods for your home.
