Basement Tanking London

Our services include providing basement tanking in London to protect your basement. Because basements are beneath the surface of the ground, moisture under the soil will try to seep in via untreated walls or floors, quickly causing the basement to become damp, mouldy, and uninhabitable, particularly in older London buildings.

Basement tanking is a means of completely sealing a basement or cellar by installing a waterproof membrane on the walls, floor, and ceiling.

Basement tanking is best applied when the cellar is being originally built (so too late for the majority of London properties) keeping the outer moisture from ever touching the inner walls. So in the case of a damp proofing an existing cellar, various layers of professional materials must be applied to seal the basement, this process often includes the removal of some existing layers.

Many properties in London require basement waterproofing if they have, or plan to build:

• Below ground car parking facilities
• Wine cellars or storage facilities
• Coal and fuel storage bunkers
• Space for buried heating systems
• Space for air conditioning systems
• Vehicle maintenance pits

We can assist with new builds or apply specialist treatments and coatings to existing basements that are already experiencing damp issues.
