Basement Damp Proofing Specialist in Hampshire
Looking for professional basement and cellar damp proofing in Hampshire? Tapco Homedry are the local experts in damp proofing and basement tanking in the Hampshire region. If you’re preparing to convert your basement, you need to ensure that the space is completely free from damp before you move forward. Without this essential step, you run the risk of damaging your furniture, fixtures and decor.
Converting a basement or cellar space is growing in popularity as more people look for ways to maximise the space in your home. You could turn your basement into a second lounge, a guest suite, home office, gym or even a cinema. But none of this can happen until you have any potential damp problems under control. To help you take the first step, get in touch with our team to arrange a damp proofing survey.
Basement and cellar damp proofing in Hampshire
Basements and cellars are prone to damp because of the below ground situation, poor ventilation and often infrequent use. To fix this, we need to first stop water from getting into the basement and then address any issues in the home that might allow moisture to build up. Our expert team always starts with a professional survey to determine the nature of the damp problem. We will then present our findings and recommendations so you can make an informed decision about the next steps.
Basement and cellar damp proofing can take place at any stage in the construction process. So whether you are building a new home and want to get it right from the start, or you’re converting an existing basement or cellar and aren’t sure if the space has ever been waterproofed, we can help.
What damp proofing measures are recommended?
The type of damp proofing measures required will all depend on the nature of the issue. For example, if the issue is hydrostatic pressure forcing water in through the walls and floor, then basement tanking is recommended to stop further water ingress. Your damp issue could also be the result of a construction problem, such as a broken roof tile or faulty rendering that is allowing rain water into your home where it gathers in the basement.
Sometimes, damp may be caused by concealed plumbing issues, such as a burst pipe. Or it could be the result of poor ventilation in the space. This would allow condensation from regular household use to build up in the space and it will be drawn to the coldest point in your home; which is typically your basement. Whatever the issue, we have the tools and expertise to identify and fix the problem.
