Basement Waterproofing
Our professional basement waterproofing services provide comprehensive protection against water ingress in below-ground spaces. Using industry-leading techniques and materials, we transform damp, unusable basements into dry, functional areas that add valuable living space to your property.
Our Basement Waterproofing Systems
1. Cavity Drain Membrane Systems (Type C)
We install high-quality cavity drain membranes that manage water ingress by creating a controlled drainage space between the damp wall and the internal finish. Water is channeled to a sump pump system and safely removed from the property, providing a reliable, long-term solution.
2. Cementitious Tanking (Type A)
For certain applications, we apply specialist cementitious waterproof coatings directly to basement walls and floors, creating a physical barrier that prevents water penetration. These systems are particularly effective for new constructions and specific basement configurations.
3. External Waterproofing (Type B)
Where accessible, we install external waterproofing systems that prevent water from reaching the basement structure. This includes applying waterproof membranes to external walls, installing drainage systems, and implementing protective measures against ground water pressure.
4. Sump Pump Installation
We design and install reliable sump pump systems with primary and backup pumps to efficiently remove water collected by cavity drain systems. Our installations include battery backups and alarm systems to ensure continuous protection even during power outages.
5. Basement Finishing
Following waterproofing, we can provide complete basement finishing services, including insulation, dry lining, flooring, and decorating, transforming your basement into a fully functional living or storage space that meets your specific requirements.
