Basement Information
Basements and Cellars are often affected by dampness. Below is some information of how to deal with dampness in these areas.
Instead of leaving this area of your home as wasted space, we can transform your basement into anything you can imagine including a home office, extra bedroom, utility room, cinema, playroom, gym or wine cellar. An important part of your basement transformation is of course waterproofing. We have more than 30 years of experience and pride ourselves on the fact that we’re experts in designing and installing all types of waterproofing systems (Type A-C), including waterproof concrete, tanking and cavity drainage membrane systems.

Basement conversions
Damp cellars and wet basements can be converted to dry useable living spaces using a suitable basement waterproofing system. A waterproofed basement can add significant useable space to your home and can be used as an office, playroom, bedroom, studio, bathroom or even a home theatre. A waterproofed basement can add up to 50% floor space to your home and will increase the value to your home (usually 130-175% of the basement waterproofing project cost).
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. We’re more than happy to advise on the most appropriate course for your property.
