What is basement waterproofing?
This process is typically carried out during construction, but it’s not uncommon for cellar and basement spaces to be left unfinished. This can result in pooling water, damp, mould and mildew developing. No one wants to spend time in a basement that is not properly protected against moisture ingress.
Basement waterproofing helps to block water from getting into your home so that you can enjoy a pleasant living space. Even if you only plan to use the space for storage, you can still enjoy considerable benefits. With the right basement waterproofing measures installed, you can enjoy a warm and dry space with improved air quality.

If you want to expand your home, your basement could provide additional space without the need to move. Your basement could become an extra bedroom, a home cinema, a gym, a playroom or so much more. Even if you only plan to use the space for additional storage, you can still benefit from basement waterproofing as your items will be protected against damp.
Basement waterproofing methods
A damp proof course is the most common protective method to stop rising damp, but this method does not work for below ground spaces. This is because of the pressure of the earth around your home which forces water molecules to move from areas of high pressure (the ground around your home) to areas of low pressure (your basement) through any means necessary.
This means the small cracks and pores in the walls and floor of your basement can allow moisture to build up in your basement space, even if you think it looks dry enough. To stop this, we cover the walls and floor of your basement space with waterproofing materials to stop the moisture getting into your living space. There are different ways to achieve this depending on the space. All work can be carried out from the inside, so there is no need to dig outside your home.
