Basement Waterproofing

Waterproof tanking systems refers to how free water is managed externally around a building structure or room which is usually underground.

Tanking membranes are barrierlike systems which prevent water from entering a below ground level room by providing a physical barrier.

This is the traditional method, however, we use a more modern, reliable and risk-free structure. Cavity Drain membranes are a reliable alternative for structural waterproofing. The issue with tanking membranes, as opposed to drainage membranes, is that if there is an issue with just a minor section of the wall, then the whole structure becomes ineffective.

• The cavity drainage is impermeable to moisture and moisture vapour. There are numerous advantages to this system:
• The system won’t be subjected to aggressive water pressure as it depressurises the water
• Damage is easily repairable, and one minor default won’t affect the entire system
• They can be maintained via inspection ports and meet the British Standard Requirement
• They can be easily tested to assess performance, even before fixtures, fittings and finishes are applied
• They are easily removable and suitable for larger properties.

All of our waterproofing systems come with a 10-year Guarantee and a free basement survey. Other waterproofing methods we use for basement waterproofing are interior drainage solutions and sealing all interior floors and walls to provide a barrier to exterior water.
