Basement Waterproofing Specialist in Ilford
For the past 50 years, we have been helping the residents of Ilford and the surrounding areas to transform their homes with fast and effective basement waterproofing. Our skilled and experienced team can carry out an extensive survey to determine the best type of basement waterproofing for your needs. If you want to uncover more space in your home, we recommend basement waterproofing for a wide range of purposes.
Waterproofing your basement is one of the best ways to protect the space against water ingress from the surrounding ground. As it is below ground level, a damp proof course will not be effective in stopping damp, mould and mildew growth. Professional waterproofing is the best course of action before renovation works begin as this is the best way to protect your investment.
Basement waterproofing in Ilford
Looking for professional basement waterproofing in Ilford? Tapco Homedry offers a wide range of waterproofing services to assist you in your conversion plans. We can assist with basement conversion that will enable you to maximise the space in your home. Basement conversions are growing in popularity as a way to increase living space without moving home.
Basements are not commonly waterproofed during the construction process, and if you live in an older property, any damp proofing measures may now be out of date. To counter this, we can provide a comprehensive waterproofing service that will allow you to make your basement warm, comfortable and free from damp or mildew. Even if you only plan to use your basement for storage space, you can benefit from waterproofing.
Waterproofing will not protect from the dangers of flooding, so if you live in a high risk area, this will need to be considered as part of your waterproofing service. We can advise on the best way forward if you live in an area that is likely to flood in the future.
Basement waterproofing methods
There are a few different methods for waterproofing a basement after it has been constructed. It’s a common misconception that you need to waterproof a basement from the outside, and this means digging into your foundations. This isn’t the case and we can successfully waterproof your basement from the inside using a variety of methods.
The most common method for waterproofing a basement from the inside is to use a waterproofing slurry applied to the walls and floor to create a barrier that will not let moisture into your basement. We can also use impermeable membranes that channel the moisture towards a pump that can then remove this from your basement. Both methods are effective and we can advise you on the best one for your needs.
