What is tanking?

This is a common question that people have. It is basically a specific form of waterproofing that provides a barrier that will prevent water from seeping through the walls of the basement. This is very important because the space is subterranean. As a result any moisture in the soil could find its way through the bricks and masonry into the basement. If the materials are very porous this could happen very quickly and flood the space.

There are several different types of tanking to choose from. The most basic form is a sealant or render for the walls. A second option is to use a special tanking membrane. Which you choose depends on the groundwater level as well as the building materials.

Installation

We can install the tanking internally, sandwich it between materials, or place it on the exterior of the basement. The first is the easiest option and is generally the most suitable for retrofitting and conversions. If you are newly excavating the entire basement, it may be best to have the tanking on the exterior.

If you work with us we can offer the right type of waterproofing for each project. For example we offer high quality tanking membranes, have experience mixing and applying tanking slurry, and can install sealing tape, drainage channels, and more.
