Basement and cellar damp proofing in Ilford
Basement and cellar damp proofing is an essential step in converting the rooms under your home into a functional living space. Damp proofing is different to waterproofing, but the two processes should be carried out to ensure your basement or cellar is comfortable and inviting. Waterproofing is often carried out first to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure forcing moisture into your basement or cellar.
Next, we can address the presence of moisture in your basement, which may lead to mould and mildew if left unchecked. Moisture can be the result of failed waterproofing measures, a leak from outside, or a hidden internal leak in your plumbing. Fixing these issues and then making sure that there is proper ventilation in your basement or cellar will help to prevent the issue from returning.
What damp proofing measures are recommended?
The damp proofing measures that you require will depend on the source and extent of your damp problem. Tanking is commonly recommended for making a basement space completely watertight. This will help to prevent lateral damp penetration from the earth around your home. We can also advise on condensation and mould control.
If your mould leads to dry rot, we can help you get rid of this before offering restoration options to help prevent further damage to your home. We are specialists in all types of home damp proofing and can advise on the ideal measures to keep your basement or cellar dry. Every home is different, so we start with a comprehensive survey to determine the best way forward.
