Basement waterproofing in Banstead

For over 50 years, we have been helping the residents of Banstead to banish dampness from their homes and cellars. If you’re ready to convert your basement or cellar into a functional living space, you need our basement waterproofing services in Banstead.

By waterproofing your basement or cellar, you could significantly increase the amount of functional living space in your home. You could turn the space into a home office, gym, cinema or a guest suite. But before you can think about converting the space, you need to make sure it is protected against water ingress. Hydrostatic water pressure all around your basement will mean that your underground spaces are at risk of water getting in through the small pores in your floor and walls.

Basement waterproofing methods

Above ground rooms can be protected against water ingress using a damp proof course, but this method isn’t effective for basements and cellars due to the presence of hydrostatic pressure. In this instance, we would recommend basement tanking to help keep moisture out. Thankfully, we don’t have to dig into your foundations to implement this method; it can all be completed from inside your basement space.

There are two common methods for waterproofing basement spaces. The first would involve sealing the larger gaps and cracks and then painting the walls and floor with a waterproofing slurry. This will dry to create an impermeable barrier. Another method would be to use membranes to cover the walls and floors and effectively make a structure within the structure. We can then use a pump to collect and remove water that gathers beneath the membranes.

Who needs basement waterproofing?

Everyone with a basement can benefit from basement waterproofing, even if you aren’t planning to use your basement for anything any time soon. Protecting the space from water ingress will help to improve the air quality throughout your entire home. A damp basement could provide the perfect conditions for mould and mildew to thrive. This can lead to bad smells throughout your home.

Another popular reason to waterproof your basement is to prepare for a basement conversion. Before you invest in flooring, decor and furniture for the space, you need to ensure it is fully protected against dampness. Your space might seem dry when it is empty, but once you start filling the space, you’ll soon notice moisture building up if you don’t invest in the right waterproofing methods.
