Structural waterproofing of basement conversions

Basement structural waterproofing often referred to as ‘drained protection’ is achieved by incorporating a drained cavity within the structure of the basement. The wall of any basement must provide enough resistance to water or damp to ensure the cavity only accepts a controlled amount. The use of a cavity drain membrane prevents pressure from building up against the internal construction. The air gap allows the structure to breathe and to dry out. This drained cavity prevents the build-up of water or damp and therefore maintains the structural integrity of both the basement and building it is supporting.

We can work with both contractors or home builders to provide our structural waterproofing installation service to help in the construction of your new-build properties basement. The addition of a structurally waterproofed basement can help to ensure that your property is not susceptible to excessive amounts of water caused by flooding or damp. We are a CHAS approved contractor and specialise in the installation of structural waterproofing systems in to new build properties across Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.

Many older properties were built with basements. These basements can provide much needed additional space to the property owner for storage or even as an additional living space. The key factors to consider when waterproofing a basement conversion is to choose the right level of waterproofing to suite the intended purpose of the conversion.
