Why Timely Basement Tanking is Critical
Moisture problems may start small, but they quickly become serious structural hazards. Persistent dampness in basements can cause mould growth, wood decay, structural weakening, and damage to stored belongings. Water ingress can also lead to rising damp, cracks, and long-term deterioration of walls and foundations. Timely basement tanking prevents these risks by creating a sealed, watertight barrier that protects your property.
Ignoring basement damp can increase repair costs significantly. Our team identifies the cause of moisture whether through hydrostatic pressure, faulty drainage, or porous walls and installs tanking systems designed for full, reliable protection.
Common Risks of Untreated Basement Damp:
- Structural instability or wall deterioration
- Mould, musty odours, and poor air quality
- Damage to floors, insulation, and stored items
- Increased heating bills due to moisture retention
- Greater long-term repair costs
Our Services
Basement Inspection & Damp Assessment
Across the UK, our specialists provide detailed assessments using moisture detection tools, structural surveys, and hydrostatic pressure analysis. We identify every source of dampness, measure the extent of moisture penetration, and design a customised tanking or waterproofing solution suited to your property’s needs.
Basement Tanking Installation
Our professional tanking system uses high-quality waterproof coatings, membranes, or cementitious layers to create a fully sealed environment. We apply industry-certified tanking methods that stop water ingress entirely, protecting your basement from damp, leaks, and future moisture accumulation.
Cementitious Waterproofing
For basements requiring heavy-duty moisture resistance, we offer cementitious tanking systems designed to withstand high hydrostatic pressure. These strong, durable coatings bond securely to masonry surfaces and provide long-lasting waterproof protection.
Membrane Waterproofing Systems
We install cavity drainage membranes to help manage water behind walls and direct excess moisture safely away. This method prevents pressure buildup and ensures your basement stays dry, even in properties prone to heavy flooding or consistent groundwater pressure.
Damp Proofing & Remedial Repairs
Alongside tanking, we repair damaged plaster, treat mould, address cracks, and replace damp-affected materials. Our comprehensive service ensures your basement is restored both structurally and visually, so it can be safely used as storage, living space, or functional workspace.
