Basement waterproofing in Owslebury
For the past 50 years, we have been helping Owslebury residents overcome issues with damp in their basements and cellars. If you’re thinking about converting your basement into a functional living space – or even just using it for storage – implementing basement waterproofing measures will help to protect the space from water ingress.
You could be sitting on lots of untapped potential that could increase the usable space in your home. But first, you need to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure, which forces water into your home from the damp earth around it. Before any basement transformation, it’s vital that you take the time to address waterproofing measures.
This typically involves basement tanking to help prevent water ingress damaging your decor, furnishings and possessions. It will also help to keep the space warm and dry. You can either block moisture using a waterproof barrier, or you can channel it out of your home and use impermeable membranes to keep the space dry. We can advise on the best methods of your home based on the findings of our damp proofing report.
Basement waterproofing methods
Your basement space might have some waterproofing protection, but these measures are known to fail over time. This can put your home at risk of moisture ingress which could rise through internal walls or simply impact the air quality. Thankfully, we can retrofit basement waterproofing measures without needing to dig into your foundations. This is great news for you and for your neighbours, as we won’t need to carry out loud or disruptive work.
Basement waterproofing is typically carried out with two methods. The first involves sealing large cracks and then applying a waterproofing slurry to the walls and floors which will dry into an impermeable layer. We can then render the walls and place flooring over the top. Another method uses waterproof membranes to create a structure within a structure. Water is trapped and pumped out of your home to keep it dry.
