Structural Waterproofing

What is Structural Waterproofing?

Structural waterproofing is a method used to prevent water ingress in buildings, ensuring long-term protection against moisture-related issues. It is essential for basements, foundations, and any below-ground structures.

Why Is Structural Waterproofing Important for Your House?

Without proper waterproofing, your property faces several risks, including:

  • Structural Damage: Water can weaken foundations and cause cracks in walls.

  • Health Concerns: Damp conditions foster mould and mildew growth, impacting indoor air quality.

  • Aesthetic Damage: Peeling paint, stained walls, and warped materials.

  • Increased Repair Costs: Delayed action can result in costly repairs.

Effects of Water Ingress

  • Foundation Weakening: Persistent exposure to water compromises structural integrity.

  • Damp and Mould Growth: Creates unhealthy living conditions.

  • Property Value Reduction: A damp property is less appealing to buyers.

  • Energy Efficiency Loss: Increased moisture affects insulation, leading to higher energy bills.

What Are the Signs of Water Ingress?

Detecting water ingress early can save you significant repair costs. Look out for:

  • Water stains or damp patches on walls and ceilings.

  • Musty odours and mould growth.

  • Cracked or warped flooring.

  • Efflorescence (white salt deposits) on walls.

  • Dripping or pooling water in basements or lower floors.
