Basement waterproofing or basement tanking is the first step to transforming a damp or leaking space below ground into a functional room that will add value to your property. Even tiny cracks in basement tanking can allow considerable volumes of water to seep through.
Given that basements are susceptible to a lot of hydrostatic pressure from water built up in the surrounding ground and earth, it is no surprise that this pressure can lead to cracks, leakage, and damp problems.
Applying the correct waterproofing solution will stop this water from getting into your basement.
London and Kent Damp Proofing’s basement tanking systems help to maintain dry environments which can then be successfully insulated to meet existing building regulations. A basement tanking membrane can be utilized to speed up the drying of flood-damaged properties.
Put simply, yes. There are several reasons why it is worth waterproofing your basement or cellar.
