Basement and cellar damp proofing in Windsor
Basement waterproofing and damp proofing measures are essential if you plan to use the space below your home for storage or as a functional living space. Damp will not only cause issues if you plan to convert the space, but it can also cause issues throughout your home. Damp is known to trigger structural problems, including rot and damage to cavity wall ties. In general, you should aim to keep all parts of your home as dry as possible.
Damp can also lead to poor air quality throughout your home and may allow mould and mildew to build up. This can lead to health issues for residents with underlying breathing problems or skin problems. And finally, damp will also make it difficult to take control of the environment in your home. It might make your home more difficult to heat and the space can become uncomfortable in the colder months.
What damp proofing measures are recommended?
The measures that you require for your basement or cellar will all depend on the source of your damp problem. If the damp is coming from the ground as a result of hydrostatic pressure, then basement tanking will be recommended to create a moisture barrier to help keep your basement or cellar dry. Alternatively, your damp could be caused by rain water getting into your property through a cracked roof tile, faulty rendering or a leaky gutter.
If your damp problem is caused by an internal plumbing issue, this will need to be addressed before we deal with the cosmetic damage caused by leaking pipes. And finally, your damp problem could also be the result of excess condensation. This can occur when there isn’t sufficient ventilation or heating in the space. We will carry out a home survey to determine the cause of your damp problem, and then suggest the right methods to help you address it.
