Structural waterproofing explained

This is a term that can apply to a wide range of preventative measures intended to keep excess moisture out of your home. This will help to keep your home comfortable and dry, while also helping to prevent secondary issues that are often seen alongside a damp problem. 

Structural waterproofing is an essential part of the construction process, but advances in techniques mean that better methods may be available today than were available when your home was built. Thankfully, we can retrofit homes with structural waterproofing measures to help renew and replace the protection.

Who should consider structural waterproofing?

All homeowners can benefit from learning more about structural waterproofing. If you think you have a damp problem, our home survey will help to get to the heart of the issue so we can offer recommendations to put things right. These measures could include:

  • A new damp proof course to help protect your above ground rooms from the risks associated with rising damp. You may already have a damp proof course in place, but they are known to fail over time.
  • Basement tanking is perfect for below ground rooms such as basements and cellars which face unique challenges due to penetrating damp.
  • If you are extending your home, you will need to make sure the structural waterproofing is continued into the new parts of your home.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing is a method implemented during construction, but one that may need to be revisited or renewed over time. It is less of a suggestion and more of a requirement, and homes that do not have structural waterproofing in place will soon face catastrophic consequences.

This process of protecting your home against moisture will not only prevent structural damage such as dry rot and broken cavity wall ties, but it will also help to keep your home warm and comfortable. A damp home is much more difficult to heat, so your utility bills may quickly spiral out of control. And cranking up the thermostat is unlikely to make your home any more comfortable.

Structural waterproofing can also help you to uncover the full potential of your property. For example, it could enable you to expand your home by building into your basement or cellar. This type of conversion work would not be possible without first addressing the structural waterproofing measures.
