Looking for basement waterproofing in Biggin Hill? Trust Tapco Homedry to help address your basement waterproofing issues and protect your investment.

Rather than leaving your space vulnerable to water ingress, we recommend addressing your basement waterproofing measures before you invest in decor and furnishings.
Basement waterproofing in Biggin Hill
For the past 50 years, Tapco Homedry has been supporting the residents of Biggin Hill and the surrounding regions with a wide range of basement waterproofing and damp proofing measures. We help homeowners to safeguard their investment against water damage by ensuring their basement or cellar is fully protected before they move forward with conversion plans.
Your basement or cellar could be the answer to your space problems, allowing you to maximise the potential of your home. Whether you plan to use the space for extra storage or turn it into a functional living space, the first step will always be to address the issue of water ingress. Due to hydrostatic pressure, your home is at risk of water ingress, and a damp proof course won’t be effective for addressing this,
Basement tanking is the only effective solution for below ground spaces. This will help to stop water getting into your home by creating an impermeable barrier. Our team can guide you on the best methods for your property, based on the local conditions and the specific threats to your home.
Basement waterproofing methods
For above ground space, the most common method of water ingress protection is a damp proof course. But due to the nature of below ground rooms and the presence of hydrostatic pressure, this method isn’t effective for basements and cellars. Basement tanking is a more effective method, and thankfully this method can be applied from the inside to avoid disruption to you and your neighbours.
There are two main methods for waterproofing a basement space. We can either use a waterproofing slurry applied to the walls and floor to block moisture, or we can use waterproof membranes that channel the water towards a pump where it can be removed from your home. The walls can then be rendered and flooring can be placed down to create an inviting living space.
