What is structural waterproofing?
This is a broad term used to describe a wide range of measures that protect a structure against water ingress. These methods are commonly implemented during construction to help protect the home and keep it warm and dry. It also helps to avoid common structural issues caused by water entering homes.
Even if these measures are implemented during construction, they are known to fail over time. This can lead to widespread issues, not least of which your home will be damp and difficult to heat. Thankfully, if your structural waterproofing measures fail, we can retrofit these measures without having to dig into your foundations.
Whatever the solution, we can guide you every step of the way. Our expert team starts with a damp proofing survey to identify the risk factors present in your home. Next, we will offer our recommendations on the measures that will achieve the best possible outcome.
What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?
This is not so much a recommendation as a requirement. Your home needs to be protected against water ingress or you run the risk of structural damage that could have wide reaching implications. While the initial signs of damp might be purely cosmetic, they will soon present structural problems for your home.
Our structural waterproofing measures will also make your home more pleasant to live in. Damp homes are difficult to heat which can lead to higher energy bills without an increase in comfort levels. Damp can also lead to issues such as mould and mildew growth, which can be a health hazard to residents. In short, structural waterproofing is not a step that you can safely ignore.
