What is Tanking?

Tanking involves applying a cement or bitumen slurry coat or membrane the walls and floor of the basement or cellar, resulting in a waterproof coat on each surface.

Converting a currently unused basement or cellar can be a cost effective way to add space and value to your property without moving house or sacrificing any of your precious exterior space.

A vital aspect of a high quality longterm basement conversion is effective damp proofing. Damp and mould is a common issue with cellars and basements that will have an extremely detrimental affect on the structure and aesthetics of your new space if left unresolved. Any such work carried out on your basement should begin with structural waterproofing – tanking is a very effective way of doing this. Correctly implememnted, tanking will ensure your basement is free from damp issues such as mould, whilst preventing damp from recurring and damaging your basement in the years to come.
