Waterproofing & Damp Protection
Specialist Below-Ground Water Protection
Waterproofing is the single most critical element of any cellar or basement space. A poorly designed waterproofing system will inevitably result in damp, mold, and potential structural issues. At Basements Solutions Limited, we design and install systems complying with **BS 8102:2022 (Code of Practice for protection of below ground structures against water ingress)**.
Our structural waterproofing experts carry the **CSSW (Certificated Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing)** qualification, which is widely recognized as the industry benchmark. We specialize in Type A (Barrier Protection), Type B (Structurally Integral Concrete), and Type C (Drained Cavity) systems, typically recommending a combined approach to offer double-layered security for high-value properties in London's heavy clay soils.
Our Waterproofing Solutions
We spec and install custom configurations from market-leading suppliers like Delta Membranes to deliver bone-dry living conditions.
High-density studded HDPE membranes that channel incoming water ingress along walls and floors to a drainage loop.
Submersible dual-pump stations with battery backup units and diagnostic control panels to pump water out of the basement.
Perimeter drainage channels set in concrete margins beneath membranes to direct water to sump basins.
Integral Type B waterproofing using hydrophobic additives and waterstop joints in concrete pours.
Multi-coat cementitious tanking slurries and epoxy barriers applied directly to brickwork or screeds.
Annual inspection and high-pressure jetting of perimeter channels and pump station diagnostics.
