Basements are particularly susceptible to water ingress, especially in older properties or those located below ground level. Our basement tanking systems create a durable waterproof barrier that prevents water penetration, ensuring your space remains dry, secure, and functional. Whether you are undertaking a basement conversion or addressing persistent damp issues, we utilise proven tanking methods designed for long-term effectiveness.
The cavity drain, waterproof breathable membrane system is specifically designed for use on both floors and walls in basement applications. It provides a fully 100% waterproof barrier that effectively prevents water ingress, ensuring your basement remains dry and protected. Simultaneously, the membrane’s breathability allows residual moisture to escape, reducing the risk of damp, mould, and structural damage. This combination of watertight integrity and moisture management helps maintain a healthy, stable environment. Its durability and flexibility make it an ideal long-term solution for safeguarding both the flooring and walls of your basement from water-related issues, from a waterproofing and damp proofing perspective.
Using a waterproof, breathable cement tanking system in basements offers significant advantages by providing a robust, fully waterproof barrier that effectively prevents water ingress, safeguarding your space from dampness and structural damage. Its breathable nature allows residual moisture to escape, reducing the risk of mould, condensation, and rot, and promoting a healthier indoor environment. This combination of waterproofing and breathability ensures the long-term stability and integrity of basement walls, making it an ideal solution for both new constructions and refurbishments. Additionally, cement tanking systems are highly durable, resistant to cracking and ageing, and require minimal maintenance, offering reliable, long-lasting protection that enhances the value and usability of your property.
In all basement conversions and waterproofing projects, we consistently install an AQUA channel, a essential component designed to efficiently channel away any waste or residual water caused by high water table pressures or groundwater ingress, particularly in below ground levels. The AQUA channel directs water safely externally to waste outlets, preventing accumulation within the basement structure. From a damp proofing perspective, this system mitigates the risk of moisture build-up, mould, and potential water damage, thereby enhancing the long-term stability and dryness of the basement environment. Its effective drainage capacity not only reduces hydrostatic pressure on basement walls but also ensures that any seepage is swiftly managed, maintaining a dry, healthy, and structurally sound space while supporting the overall durability of the waterproofing system.
