What is Structural Waterproofing?
The term structural waterproofing simply means to waterproof any part of a building but it is most commonly used when referring to underfloor buildings such as basements and cellars. When a wall is below or partially below ground level they are retaining earth. These walls are waterproofed to prevent the ingress of water from the ground. The moisture in the ground will seep through porous walls and make any room underground very damp, cold and impracticable to use.
Structurally waterproofing the walls ensures the space will be dry, warm and become habitable.
There is more than one way to waterproof a cellar or basement. The different methods include tanking, slurry coating and waterproof membrane fitting. Each method has its pros and cons. We ensure that the best structural waterproofing methods are used for your property after a survey of the building. The right way to waterproof your cellar or basement will depend on the construction and location of the space. Trust us to guide you through the process.

Making Basements Functional
If you have a basement or cellar that could be made into usable space, call us to assess what structural waterproofing is required. We have years of experience in the damp and waterproofing industry and can provide solutions to most problems.
Without making underground walls waterproof, the space is not habitable. As well as being uncomfortable to use, untreated walls will not take any form of decorations such as paint or wallpaper. Furniture, flooring and fabrics quickly become ruined in this environment.
Dampness and cold can be solved with the right waterproofing. Although it may seem complicated and expensive to structurally waterproof spaces in your property, the extra habitable square meters will add considerable value.
