Structural Waterproofing in Frimley

The most popular reason for exploring structural waterproofing in your home is to prepare for an extension or a basement conversion. Before you invest in your living space, it’s essential to make sure that your home is properly protected against water ingress. Structural waterproofing can therefore help you to uncover more space in your home.

We use the latest techniques to stop moisture getting into your home. The end result is a home that is warm, dry and free from environmental hazards such as mould or dry rot. And if you’re converting your basement space, you’ll have more functional living space in your home that could help to boost the value of your property. If you’re curious about how structural waterproofing could help you, get in touch with Tapco Homedry today.

What is structural waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing is a term that applies to any process of waterproofing a property against outside moisture. It includes everything from your cavity walls to the tiles on your roof. To help prevent rising damp, we would typically use a damp proof course, often referred to as a DPC.

In below ground rooms, we can use a method known as basement tanking to help prevent moisture ingress. If you’re thinking about converting your basement into a living space, this is an essential step to help protect your investment. Even if you think your basement space seems dry enough, dangers could be lurking in the structure that will put your renovation at risk.

We’ll use the latest tools and techniques to address your structural waterproofing needs, so you can sit back and start planning your renovation. We offer cost-effective and reliable solutions that will ensure you enjoy peace of mind as you move forward with your home expansion project. 

The structural waterproofing process

We always start with a damp proofing survey to identify the risk factors in your property. Every home is unique, so it’s vital to have a comprehensive picture of your current structural waterproofing methods and how well they are performing. We will then provide our recommendations based on what will yield the best results:

  • A damp proof course will help to protect above ground rooms, including extensions, from the threat of rising damp.
  • Basement tanking is effective for below ground rooms, including basement and cellar conversions. This method coats your walls and floor with a waterproofing layer to stop moisture getting through the small cracks. 

You don’t have to know which structural waterproofing method is right for you – that’s where we come in. We can visit your property and advise you on the best methods to address your unique needs and requirements.
