Basement waterproofing in Guildford
Many homes in Guildford are sitting on top of unfinished basements. This could be the ideal solution to your space problem, allowing you to unlock the potential of your home without having to go through the stress of moving to a bigger property. But before you can do this, you need to make sure your basement is fully protected against water ingress.
Your basement could be at risk of damage if you fail to address this step before moving forward with your plans. Your basement might seem dry enough, but once you put down flooring and start to occupy the space, the problem will soon become evident. And you’ll be left to rip out your decor and start again.
We can help you to get it right the first time, allowing you to move forward with your renovation plans with complete confidence. While the rest of your home might be protected against rising damp with a damp proof course, this won’t be effective in your basement space as you’re dealing with something called penetrating damp.
Basement waterproofing methods
We start with a home survey to better understand the measures already in place, so we can advise on the best route forward. This will help to reveal any vulnerabilities that are unique to your home. We can then address these before we move forward.
We will likely recommend one of two methods for waterproofing your basement. The first is basement waterproofing, which involves applying a mixture to the walls and floor of your basement that sets to form an impermeable moisture barrier. This is a highly effective method that can be completed from inside your home.
The second method is to use waterproof sheets of membrane to cover the walls and floors and create a dry structure within a structure. This allows water through the walls and floor, but directs it into specialist channels where it can be pumped out of your home, leaving your basement warm, comfortable and dry.
