London's Trusted Damp Proofing Specialists Since 1971
If you’re considering converting your existing basement, cellar or vault into valuable living space, basement damp proofing should be one of the first and most important aspects of the project.
As basements and cellars are constructed below ground level, they are constantly exposed to moisture in the surrounding ground. This creates hydrostatic pressure, allowing water to penetrate through walls, floors and structural joints.
Without the correct waterproofing system, this can lead to damp, mould growth, damage to plaster and decorations, and long-term structural issues.
Professional basement waterproofing is a specialist process that requires expert knowledge and should only be carried out by an experienced contractor.
At Tapco HomeDry, we provide tailored basement damp proofing solutions designed to protect your property and maximise your usable living space while adding value to your home.

Planning your Basement Conversion
Every basement, cellar or vault is unique, and the most suitable waterproofing solution will depend on the construction of your property and how you intend to use the space.
Before any work begins, it’s important to consider factors such as insulation, heating, lighting, ventilation and other services so they can be incorporated alongside the waterproofing system.
Our experienced team can help you plan your project from the outset, ensuring your basement conversion is protected by the most appropriate damp proofing solution.

Our Waterproofing Systems
Our surveyors will recommend the most appropriate waterproofing system based on your property’s construction, intended use and level of moisture exposure.
Cavity Drain Membrane Systems
A cavity drain membrane system manages water by directing it safely into drainage channels and sump pumps before it reaches your living space. This is one of the most widely used and reliable waterproofing solutions for basement conversions and is particularly suitable where groundwater movement is expected.
Structural Waterproofing (Tanking)
Tanking creates a waterproof barrier directly onto walls and floors using specialist cementitious waterproofing products. This method prevents moisture from penetrating internal surfaces and is suitable for many below-ground structures when specified correctly.
