We can help to transform a damp and uncomfortable basement space into a warm, dry and inviting part of your home. You don’t have to live with a damp basement.

The basement waterproofing process isn’t always carried out during construction, which means you could have an unfinished basement below your home.

Basement waterproofing in Worting
For the past 50 years, we have been helping the residents of Worting to make the most of the unused space in their homes. Basement conversions are growing in popularity as a way to maximise the space in your home and allow you to increase your living space without having to move home. It’s also a perfect alternative if you don’t want to sacrifice garden space for an extension.
Before you start transforming your basement into a functional living space, you first need to make sure it is protected against water ingress. This simple step is known as basement tanking, and it will help to ensure you don’t have to deal with water finding its way into your home. Basements are more prone to issues with water ingress due to something called hydrostatic pressure. This is when water is forced through the small holes in the floors and walls of your basement room as it passes from an area of high pressure to low pressure.
Basement waterproofing methods
Basements are commonly protected from water ingress during the construction process, but these measures are known to fail over time. Thankfully, we can fully waterproof a basement from the outside and don’t have to dig into your foundations to achieve a watertight seal. We start by sealing the larger gaps and then use a waterproofing slurry that is spread over the walls and floors. This dries to create a watertight seal.
We can also use sealed membranes over the floors and walls. This helps to create a structure within the structure and traps the moisture between your floors and walls and the waterproofing membranes. We can then channel the moisture towards a pump where it can be removed from your basement. Both methods are incredibly effective for protecting an underground basement or cellar from moisture ingress.
