What is structural waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing is simply any process that helps to protect a structure against damage from water ingress. Excess moisture is bad news for homes, as it can make them cold, uncomfortable and difficult to heat. Modern homes are designed with structural waterproofing in mind, but these measures are known to fail over time. If you notice signs of damp in your home, it might be time to renew your structural waterproofing measures.

The most common type of structural waterproofing is a damp proof course. This is a chemical injection into your foundations that creates a moisture barrier to help prevent rising damp. For below ground rooms such as basements and cellars, basement tanking would be a more appropriate approach. If you’re concerned about rising bills due to a damp problem in your home, get in touch today to learn how we can help.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?

This is not just a recommendation, it’s an essential part of protecting your home. Without these measures in place, your home could be at risk of extensive damage. This damage is not just limited to cosmetic damage, but could also become structural if the moisture reaches things like your cavity wall ties. Dry rot could also lead to damage to the timber in your home.

Structural waterproofing also helps to make your home more pleasant. Damp can lead to a musty smell that impacts the air quality in your home. This can create the ideal conditions for mould to thrive, which can have a negative impact on the health of residents – particularly the young and the old. Another benefit of structural waterproofing is that it can enable you to utilise more space in your home by making it possible to turn your basement into a functional living space.
