Professional waterproofing and tanking services in West Yorkshire

A company you can rely on

Basements are susceptible to the ingress of moisture and contaminants from the ground. For this reason, a waterproofing system will usually be required. Guidance on the requirements for basement waterproofing systems is given in the BS 8102:2009, “Code of practice for protection of below ground structures against water from the ground”. The choice of waterproofing system will depend on a number of factors such as the method and type of basement construction, the depth below ground, and the proposed end use.

Our waterproofing and tanking services are ideal for:

Refurbishment of existing basements

There are many reasons why an existing basement may need refurbishing. Some common reasons for refurbishing an existing basement include, the original waterproofing has failed and must be repaired before the space can be utilised again and additional waterproof protection may be required, so an internal waterproofing system must be applied.

Changing uses of cellars and basements

In some cases, a basement may need refurbishing due to a change in the desired use of the space, for example, the basement might be getting converted from a storage room into a more habitable space such as a kitchen or study. In these instances, the basement may require more than just waterproofing because the structure of the basement itself may require changes.

Suitability for given locations

Choosing between type A and C waterproofing systems can sometimes be difficult because both of them might be suitable. If this is the case, other factors should be considered such as the amount of space required and ease of reparability. In general, type A waterproofing systems will be much more difficult to repair than type C systems, however, type C systems will require regular maintenance to ensure that the system does not fail.

Recent work

As an example of recent work we have undertaken, we recently installed a tank in the cellar of a home in Brighouse so it could be used for storage. We also undertook some commercial work for Thames Water, servicing waste and sewage tanks.
