Basement Waterproofing

Waterproofing “tanking” is needed anytime a structure is built at ground level or below ground. Waterproofing and drainage considerations are especially needed in cases where ground water is likely to build up in the soil and raise the water table.We can also use land drainage around a property to help move water away from the building where possible. A higher water table causes hydrostatic pressure to be exerted underneath basement floors and against basement walls. Hydrostatic pressure forces water in through cracks in foundation walls, through openings caused by expansion and contraction of the footing-foundation wall joint and up through floor cracks. Hydrostatic pressure can cause major structural damage to foundation walls and is likely to contribute to mold, decay and other moisture related problems.

Basement expectations can lead to disappointment if it is discovered that the basement is rendered uninhabitable by water ingress and requires basement waterproofing or a water management solution.  No matter the degree of damage, property ownwes need not despair.  Utilising the latest innovations within basement waterproofing, our specialist Wise Basement Systems team can transform the most soiled and polluted basement into an area suitable for domestic use using the latest basement waterproofing techniques.
