Basement Waterproofing London

Damp proof your basement to safeguard all areas of your cellar.

Cellar & Basement Tanking London

Basement tanking adds valuable square footage to any London property by making it damp proof. After damp proofing basements can be used as living space, storage areas, or housing for heating or air-conditioning systems. Whatever its purpose, a basement needs to stay dry to remain usable and safe. When originally built, the cellar should have been contained within an external basement tanking system to keep damp away. However, being underground, the walls will be naturally susceptible to damp and water ingress is a high possibility, especially over time.

How Does Basement Tanking Work?

30 Year London Basement Tanking WarrantyThis is a very brief overview of some of our solutions for cellar waterproofing. Following a survey of your property, we will provide a full and thorough report with recommendations for remedial action. The work may include:

  • Removing any damp or damaged plaster
  • Adding a salt neutraliser to walls to dissolve salts present from damp penetration
  • Applying a tanking system (as mentioned above)
  • Adding a waterproof sand and cement interior render
  • Finishing with a smooth skim coat plaster

There are other options for cellar tanking that could involve:

  • Fitting a cavity drainage membrane
  • Adding plasterboard or plaster directly over the membrane
