Professional Basement Waterproofing in Birmingham
Basements are particularly vulnerable to water ingress due to ground pressure and changing moisture levels. Our basement waterproofing services in Birmingham focus on controlling water at its source, keeping basements dry, usable and protected for the long term.
Our team of experienced, PCA-accredited surveyors conducts our basement waterproofing surveys. The survey assesses moisture risks, existing construction and water ingress points before recommending a suitable waterproofing solution and providing a no-obligation quotation.
Common Basement Problems in Birmingham Properties
The most common basement problems we see in Birmingham properties include persistent damp and flooding. Without effective waterproofing, this can lead to damage to finishes, stored belongings and structural materials.
In addition to persistent damp, sudden basement flooding can be an issue that property owners run into, due to increasing rainfall and rising groundwater in the West Midlands. We design systems that manage water safely, reducing the risk of future flooding and associated disruption.
Our Basement Waterproofing Solutions
Most basements require two types of basement waterproofing for effective protection from damp and flooding. We offer Type A and Type C waterproofing, which work together for reliable results.
Type A waterproofing is also known as barrier protection or cellar tanking, and it involves the application of a waterproof slurry to your basement’s interior walls and flooring to keep water from entering your basement.
Type C waterproofing, or cavity drainage systems, involves installing waterproof membranes to the outside of your basement walls and flooring and channelling water away via a sump pump. These systems are discreet, effective and commonly used as part of a long-term waterproofing strategy.
Appointments are arranged as quickly as possible, often same-week, subject to availability.
Call us on 0121 412 9315 and our advisors will arrange a survey appointment that works for you.
A standard basement waterproofing survey in Birmingham can take around 1-4 hours to complete, depending on the size and condition of the property being surveyed.
Costs vary depending on the size of the basement, existing conditions and the waterproofing system required.
A professional survey allows us to provide an accurate quotation with your survey report.
