What is structural waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing is a very broad term that might apply to a wide range of construction methods and interventions that will prevent water ingress from anywhere outside the home. Dampness will not only make your home more uncomfortable to live in, but it can also lead to health problems for residents, particularly the very young and the elderly.

Left untreated, dampness can also cause structural problems by leading to the decay of important structures. This could include dry rot and broken cavity wall ties, both of which can be catastrophic for your home. We recommend reviewing your structural waterproofing methods if you suspect something is amiss.

We’ll advise you on the optimum methods to protect your particular property type, as every property will have unique demands. Following our damp proofing survey, you will be fully informed on the best route forward to help protect your property and your investment.

What are the benefits of structural waterproofing?

There are so many benefits to effective structural waterproofing that it should be considered a requirement, not a recommendation. This process protects your home against excess moisture that could cause widespread damage to your home. This process is typically completed during construction, but it’s possible for these methods to fail over time, or you might find that the methods used to protect your home are now outdated.

If you are extending or converting part of your home, you’ll also need to consider how this will impact the structural waterproofing measures. For example, building an extension, converting a garage or converting your basement will all require special attention to ensure the structural waterproofing measures are continued throughout.

By ensuring your property is protected, you can help to keep it warm and dry. Damp properties are more difficult to heat, so you might find your energy bills are increasing while your home is becoming less comfortable. Damp proofing also protects against mould and mildew build up, which could lead to health issues in vulnerable residents.

How does the structural waterproofing process work?

There are multiple methods available, depending on the space you need to protect. The most common and well known is the damp proof course, which helps to provide protection against rising damp in above ground rooms. 

In below ground spaces, it would be more common to use a method known as basement tanking. This involves covering the walls and floors with a waterproofing layer to help prevent penetrating damp, which is a higher risk for below ground rooms. Thankfully, all of these methods can be retrofitted to properties without having to dig into your foundations.
