Basement waterproofing in Camberwell
Basement waterproofing is sometimes known as tanking. It is an essential step for any basement conversion, but it can also be beneficial even if you don’t plan to use the space. Waterproofing your basement will help to protect the space from water ingress, which can lead to mould and mildew. This could easily spread to other parts of your home, or simply leave you with an earthy smell in your home.
With basement waterproofing, you can feel confident that your basement is dry and free from moisture. This will pave the way for a conversion which could allow you to add another bedroom, bathroom, living room, office, gym or cinema to your home. You could also use the space for storage without worrying that your possessions could become damp or mouldy.
Basement waterproofing methods
The methods used for basement waterproofing will vary depending on your home construction and the extent of the water ingress problem. First, we will identify any larger areas where water might be able to get through and block these. Next, we will apply a waterproofing slurry to the floors and walls of your basement to create an impermeable barrier.
Another method for waterproofing a basement space involves placing membranes on the floor and walls that will channel the water towards a pump which will then remove it from your basement. This allows water through the walls and floor, but not into your basement space, effectively creating a structure within a structure. This is a highly effective method for dealing with the issue of hydrostatic pressure.
