Structural waterproofing explained

Structural waterproofing is a broad term that could apply to lots of different construction processes. The underlying purpose of all of these processes is to protect a structure from water ingress, either from moisture settled in the ground, or rain falling from above. When your home is protected against moisture ingress, you can enjoy a warm and comfortable space that is free from environmental hazards like toxic mould.

There are many ways to protect a structure against water ingress, including the tiles on your roof and the gutters that channel rainwater away from your home. When we talk about structural waterproofing, we are referring to processes like damp proof courses and basement tanking. These methods are often implemented during construction, but they are known to break down and fail over time.

If you’re thinking about extending your property or converting an unused space into a functional living space, you may need to revisit your structural waterproofing measures. This will give you peace of mind that your home and your investment is protected against the damage that can be caused by dampness. To find out how we can help with your home improvement projects, get in touch today.

Who should consider structural waterproofing?

Not sure if structural waterproofing is right for you? We can help you to determine if you require new or renewed structural waterproofing measures in your home. Common reasons for implemented structural waterproofing include:

  • If you’re worried about damp in your home and suspect that your existing damp proof course may have failed.
  • If you are extending your home with a garden extension or a garage conversion and want to implement new protection.
  • If you have plans to convert your cellar or basement into a living space.

Benefits of structural waterproofing

Protecting your home against moisture ingress is less of a suggestion and more of a requirement. Ignoring your structural waterproofing can lead to widespread issues, including cosmetic and structural damage to your home. Alongside protecting your investment, there are other benefits you can enjoy by choosing to focus on structural waterproofing measures. These include:

  • Increase the value of your home by making the most of the space available
  • Eliminate the risk of developing toxic mould and mildew in your home
  • Prevent structural damage linked to rising damp

  • A new damp proof course to replace a failing one. This is a chemical injection into the brickwork of your cavity wall to help prevent rising damp.
