What is structural waterproofing?

This simply refers to any process that will help to protect a structure against water ingress. In residential properties, this typically includes a damp proof course to protect against rising damp and basement tanking to stop water seeping into your basement and pooling in the space. Keeping your home moisture free will help make your home warmer and more comfortable. It can also help to lower energy bills, as damp homes are much more difficult to heat.

We start all structural waterproofing assignments with a damp survey to understand the cause of your moisture ingress. We can then offer recommendations to help get this issue under control. Homeowners commonly get us involved at the start of an extension or basement conversion to provide adequate protection before moving forward with decor.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?

There are many benefits to structural waterproofing, and in many ways, it should be seen as more than just a recommendation. It should be seen as an essential requirement. If you fail to protect your home against moisture ingress, you risk allowing mould, mildew and dry rot to thrive. This can lead to structural issues, particularly if your cavity wall ties are corroded by damp. Damp can also make a home unhealthy to live in and can cause widespread health issues.

Once you invest in structural waterproofing, your home will be fully functional and you will be able to enjoy all spaces, including previously damp basement spaces. Your energy bills will often be reduced because a dry home is much easier to heat. And finally, you’ll also have the ability to make the most of all spaces in your home, such as previously unused basements and cellar spaces.

How does the structural waterproofing process work?

There are many methods we can use to help protect your property from water ingress. This could include a damp proof course, which is a chemical injection into your cavity wall that helps to create an impermeable barrier to moisture. All homes should have a damp proof course installed, but these are known to fail. The good news is that we don’t need to dig into your foundations to replace this, all work can be retrofitted above ground.

Another method for structural waterproofing a home is called basement tanking. This is suitable for below ground rooms where hydrostatic pressure makes a damp proof course less effective. With this method, we coat the inside walls and floor of your basement and cellar to prevent water getting into your home.
