Basement Waterproofing Specialist in Haslemere
Looking for a basement waterproofing expert in Haslemere? Before you start planning your dream basement conversion, it’s essential to check you have the correct basement waterproofing in place. Your basement might seem dry enough, but it’s only when you start putting down flooring and filling the space with decor that the signs of excess moisture will appear. And this could mean ripping it all out and starting again.
With the right basement waterproofing in place, your home will be fully protected from the threat of water ingress from below. Basement waterproofing is a process commonly completed during construction. Some properties may have an unfinished basement space, or your waterproofing measures may have failed over the years. Whatever your reason for getting in touch, trust the Tapco Homedry team to deliver cost-effective and reliable solutions.
Basement waterproofing in Haslemere
For over 50 years, Tapco Homedry in Haslemere has been helping homeowners like you to take control of their basement waterproofing requirements. This simple but essential step is vital before starting a basement conversion, but there are also benefits for homeowners with no plans to use their basement space. Waterproofing in the basement can help to improve air quality throughout your home and ensure secondary issues related to damp cannot take hold in your home.
When damp is allowed to build up in your basement or cellar, this can lead to bad smells circulating throughout your home. It could also make your home more difficult to heat, as a damp home will always feel colder. This could cause your energy bills to spiral out of control. By properly protecting your basement space, the rest of your home will be protected and this can pave the way for your dream conversion.
Basement waterproofing methods
We always start with a home survey to better understand the challenges facing your home. Every home is unique, so it’s essential to choose the ideal method for your property. There are two main methods for protecting your home against penetrating damp and we can advise you on the right choice for your home. Thankfully, both can be retrofitted to properties without the need to dig into your foundations.
The first method involves painting the walls and the floor with a thick waterproofing slurry. This dries and forms a moisture barrier that prevents water getting through. It’s a highly effective method that can then be tiled and rendered over to create a sleek finish.
An alternative method would be to use sheets of waterproof membrane to create a structure within a structure. Moisture can gather between the membrane and your floor and walls, but cannot get into the room. We can then channel this moisture towards a pump that will drain it from your home.

Who can benefit from basement waterproofing?
All homeowners can benefit from this simple yet effective step. If you have dreams of converting your basement into a functional living space, it is an essential first step. And even if you aren’t planning to use the space just yet, protecting it from water damage will allow you to expand the storage space in your home. It can also increase the value of your property, as prospective buyers will be able to put their own mark on the property by getting started with their dream basement conversion with confidence.
