Basement Waterproofing Specialist in Godstone
Planning a basement conversion? Ready to unlock more space in your property? Before you get started with the work of converting and decorating your new space, it’s essential that you address the issue of basement waterproofing. Trust the Tapco Homedry team to address your basement waterproofing requirements in Godstone and the surrounding regions.
Your basement or cellar might seem dry on first inspection, but the signs of damp and water ingress might only appear once you start to occupy the space. It can also be seasonal, so starting a basement conversion in summer might leave you with a damp and uninhabitable space by winter. With our assistance, you can expand the functional living space in your home and ensure that it remains comfortable and dry.
Basement waterproofing in Godstone explained
Many homes throughout Godstone have an unfinished basement or cellar that is waiting for an imaginative transformation. While the rest of your home may be protected against water ingress using a damp proof course, it’s possible that your basement has been left unfinished. It might seem dry enough, but there will be no protection against moisture.
Thankfully, it’s possible to implement basement waterproofing after construction without the need to dig into your foundations. We offer a range of cost-effective and reliable methods that can be completed with minimal disruption to your household and your neighbours.
We can help you to uncover more functional living space in your home, so you can expand your home without having the stress of having to move house. Converting your basement will also ensure that you don’t have to sacrifice garden space to an extension.
Basement waterproofing methods
There are many different methods for waterproofing a structure, but only a few are suitable for below ground rooms due to something known as hydrostatic pressure. This means that a damp proof course would be ineffective, which is why we use a method called basement tanking.
To stop moisture being forced through the walls and floor by small holes and gaps in the brickwork, we coat these surfaces with a waterproofing slurry. This sets to create an impermeable barrier that keeps moisture out. We can also use sheets of membrane over the walls and floor to create a structure within a structure. This will direct water into channels where it can be pumped out of the home.
