Damp Proofing

Do damp proofers carry out tanking of basements?

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.25 PM

We need a basement area under our lounge, hall and guest loo to be tanked. Would this be a job which damp proofers would carry out?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Yes it’s the correct way to waterproof a basement to tank with membrane etc.

As in the previous answer, you will need to use a cavity drain membrane system. This is a job a Damp proofing contractor will carry out. A CSSW qualification isn't essential though. An experienced company will be able to carry out this job to a high standard and still provide an insured backed guarantee.

You really require the aid of a CSSW qualified surveyor to assess and make recommendations. We see too many failures of basements where un skilled individuals/ companies put forward incorrect specifications and carry out poor installations . A good contractor will not only have the qualifications but offer insurance backed warranty
