Waterproofing a basement
Damp cellars and wet basements can be converted into dry, useable living spaces providing a suitable basement waterproofing system has been installed. As well as adding valuable space to your home, extending your living area can increase the value of your home by as much as 130-175% of the basement waterproofing project cost.

Biocraft is a basement waterproofing specialist based in Berkshire. We operate throughout Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey and Oxfordshire and have experience in the installation of Isola Platon, Delta and John Newton cavity drainage membrane systems. The choice of basement waterproofing system depends on the structure of the building, the condition of the basement walls and floor, the surrounding ground conditions and the intended use of the dry basement.
