Keep below-ground water under control

A cellar can feel dry for months and then take water after prolonged rain. Below-ground spaces face moisture from the surrounding soil, and the pressure involved changes with the site and construction. We survey existing cellars, planned conversions and new structures before specifying basement waterproofing. The inspection covers wall and floor condition, water pressure, moisture routes, drainage options and how you intend to use the room. We can consider waterproof tanking, cavity drainage, interior drainage and sealed floor or wall systems. The aim is not merely to hide a damp surface, but to control water in a way that suits the structure and finished space.

Drainage that remains accessible for maintenance

A cavity drainage system allows water to enter in a controlled space behind an impermeable moisture and vapour membrane. This relieves pressure on the internal finish and sends the water towards a managed drainage route. Inspection ports provide access so suitable systems can be tested, maintained and repaired without blindly opening finished walls or floors. We plan membrane joints, penetrations and drainage as connected details because a gap in one area can undermine the whole design. Free basement waterproofing surveys are available, and every waterproofing system we install includes a 10-year guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Which basement waterproofing system will we need?

We assess the structure, water pressure, moisture routes, drainage and intended use first. The result may point to tanking, a cavity drain membrane, internal drainage, sealed floors and walls, or a suitable combination.

Why are inspection ports useful?

Inspection ports give access to appropriate drainage channels after finishes are fitted. They allow testing, maintenance and repair without automatically removing large areas of a completed wall or floor lining.

Is the basement waterproofing survey free?

Yes. We provide a free basement waterproofing survey so we can inspect the space and discuss its intended use before preparing a specification and estimate. All installed waterproofing systems carry a 10-year guarantee.
