Basement waterproofing in Basingstoke
Basement waterproofing is the first step in every basement conversion. It ensures that your basement space is protected from water ingress as a result of hydrostatic pressure. This is different to rising damp and it cannot be addressed with a damp proof course. The only way to stop moisture from getting into your basement is with waterproofing measures.
Luckily, basement waterproofing can be done from the inside, which means no disruptive digging around your home. This is a fast and effective way to achieve a watertight basement space that is ready for conversion into a warm and functional living space. If you skip this step, you run the risk of damaging the conversion with damp, and you may need to rip everything out and start again.
Basement waterproofing methods
There are lots of different methods to help with basement waterproofing. The most common for inside a basement starts with identifying larger gaps where water might be getting into your home. Once these are sealed, we cover the walls and floor with a waterproofing slurry that seals the concrete or bricks and creates an impermeable barrier to moisture. This helps to protect against water that permeates the bricks and concrete due to hydrostatic pressure.
Another highly effective method for basement waterproofing involves laying an impermeable barrier against the walls and floors and sealing this, effectively creating a structure within a structure. We then channel the water towards a pump and remove it from your home. This allows water through the walls and floor, but then traps it and prevents it from staying in your home.
