A basement conversion can be a fantastic investment but you must ensure the space is safe and usable. One of the most important things is to follow building regulations.

We are the top team for basement waterproofing Cheshire has and can take on entire projects for you.

Why is waterproofing so important?

There is a much higher risk of water leaking into a basement because it is underground. Moisture can travel easily through soil and then seep into the walls. If you are not careful or the materials are highly porous, you can end up with a space that will flood regularly. Even a small amount of water in the walls can cause damp and mould. This can make the space unsafe and unusable.

How do we waterproof a basement?

There are a number of options. Firstly we can give walls a protective coating of sealant or render. This can create a good barrier against water. Another option is to install a waterproof membrane and drainage channels. They can fit into cavities in the wall. This is the best option if the water table in the area is high or the soil is loosely packed and you receive a lot of rain.

We can install waterproofing on newly excavated basements as well as existing ones. Retrofitting is more challenging because we may need to remove plaster and mortar. However, whatever option you choose, we will ensure it is effective.
