We can help to transform a damp and uncomfortable space into a warm and inviting space. You don’t have to put up with a damp basement or avoid using it.

Basement waterproofing is commonly carried out during construction, but minimal interventions may be installed making it a damp and unfinished space. Before you start your basement conversion, make sure that you have carried out the necessary steps to protect the space and your investment.
Basement waterproofing in Wherwell
For over 50 years, we have been helping the residents of Wherwell to overcome damp issues with their basement spaces. A basement conversion is a popular way to expand the livable space and increase the functionality of your home. It’s also an ideal choice if you want to expand without giving up valuable garden space. You could be sitting on plenty of untapped potential; all you need to do is address the damp problem.
Before you start transforming your basement into a new living space, you first need to make sure that it is protected against water ingress. This would typically mean using basement tanking to create an impermeable barrier that keeps moisture out. Basements are more prone to damage due to something known as hydrostatic pressure. This is when moisture from the ground forces its way into your basement through the small pores in the walls and floor. To counter this, you need to stop the moisture from passing through the walls and floor, or you need to channel it out of your home.
Basement waterproofing methods
Basements are commonly protected during the construction process, but these measures commonly fail over time, leaving your home at risk of moisture ingress. Thankfully, we can fully waterproof a basement from the inside, so we don’t need to dig into the foundations in order to seal your space. We start by sealing the larger gaps in your floors and walls, we then apply a waterproofing mixture to the floors and walls that will cure into a watertight layer.
Another method involves using waterproof membranes applied to the floors and walls. These help to block moisture from getting into your home. To deal with moisture build up, channels are designed to direct water towards a pump that removes the water from your basement space. Both methods are highly effective for dealing with water ingress, and we can advise you on the right choice for your property based on a comprehensive survey.
