Basement Damp Proofing Specialist in Lewisham
Looking for professional basement and cellar damp proofing in Lewisham? Tapco Homedry are your local experts in damp proofing and basement tanking in the Lewisham area. We help homeowners to reclaim space in their homes and turn cold and damp below ground rooms into warm and inviting spaces. If you’re considering a basement or cellar conversion and want to know how to protect the space from damp, our team can help.
Basement and cellar conversions are growing in popularity as more property owners look to maximise the space they own. Rather than build into your garden with an extension and lose valuable outdoor space, a below ground conversion can give you the flexibility to add new function to your home. Basements and cellars are great for extra bedrooms, lounges, offices, gyms, cinemas or even just extra storage space that will allow you to declutter.
Basement and cellar damp proofing in Lewisham
Our professional team carry out damp proofing surveys in properties throughout Lewisham every day. We use the latest diagnostic methods to determine the cause of the damp problem and then offer recommendations for how to fix it. We can also assist with remedial work if the damp has led to further problems such as mould, mildew or rot.
Basements and cellars are commonly left untreated, or the original waterproofing methods may have failed over the years. External factors can also lead to water accumulating in your basement. Whatever the cause, we can deliver timely remedies that will enable you to reclaim your space and protect your home from the threat of damp, mould and mildew.
What damp proofing measures are recommended?
The measures we recommend will always depend on the source of the damp. The damp could be caused by lateral penetrating damp, which is caused by the hydrostatic pressure placed on the structure. This is when the pressure of the earth around your property forces moisture through the small pores in the floor and walls of your property. Damp can also be caused by faults in your roof tiles or rendering that might be letting rain water into your home.
Another common cause of damp in basements and cellars is a concealed leak in your plumbing. You might not even be aware this is happening until the water damage starts to appear in your basement. Damp can also be caused by condensation build up from everyday activities. This will need to be addressed with adequate ventilation. Whatever the cause of your damp problem, we can help to put it right.
