Structural Waterproofing in Epsom
If you’re planning a home extension or a basement conversion, are you confident in your home’s structural waterproofing measures? Assessing and updating your structural waterproofing is a vital part of home ownership. While these methods are commonly implemented during construction, any changes to your home could have a significant impact on the waterproofing measures.
We use all of the latest tools and techniques to achieve a watertight structure that is fully protected against moisture ingress. This will allow you to enjoy a warm and dry property that is easy to heat in the winter months. It can also free up space in your home and allow you to turn damp and difficult spaces into fully functioning living spaces. Get in touch today to learn how we can help turn your dreams into a reality.
What is structural waterproofing?
This is a term used to refer to any process that helps to protect a structure against moisture. It covers everything from the tiles on your roof to the cavity wall structure. It also includes common methods such as a damp proof course, or DPC, which helps to prevent rising damp.
These methods are typically implemented during construction, but there may be faults over the years. It’s also possible that new methods may be available that are an improvement on older methods. We can help renew, update or implement new structural waterproofing to protect your home or business.
Don’t rely on your contractors to confirm if you have the right level of structural waterproofing in place. If you’re converting a basement or building an extension, it’s essential to ensure your investment is protected against water ingress. We can carry out a structural waterproofing survey and deliver our recommendations to help give you peace of mind that your home is protected.
What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?
This is not so much a recommendation as a requirement. Structural waterproofing is often your only defence against moisture ingress and therefore needs to be addressed with urgency. Without structural waterproofing, your home will become damp and uninhabitable. It will be more difficult to heat, your energy bills will increase, and you may face secondary issues such as mould and mildew, which can both be hazardous to health.
