Basement Waterproofing Services Nottingham
Waterproofing systems must be tailored to the property, what you’re using it for, and level of damp risk you’re facing. A one-size-fits-all approach can lead to failure over time.
We offer bespoke basement waterproofing services in Nottingham, with each solution designed to suit your property and intended use of the space. The services we offer include:
- Waterproof barrier systems to resist water ingress
- Cavity drainage systems to manage and control moisture
- Sump pumps and drainage channels for water removal
- Combined systems for enhanced protection
Basement Tanking in Nottingham
Type A waterproofing, often referred to as basement tanking, involves applying a waterproof barrier directly to basement walls and floors. This prevents water from entering the structure by resisting moisture at the surface.
Type A waterproofing in Nottingham can be effective where the structure is sound, and water pressure is manageable. It relies on correct preparation and application to ensure the barrier remains intact over time. It is often used with other methods of basement waterproofing for extra protection.
Type C Waterproofing Nottingham
Type C waterproofing systems manage water rather than blocking it. A cavity drainage membrane is installed to allow water to pass behind the system, where it is then controlled and directed to drainage channels and sump pumps.
This approach is widely used for basement waterproofing in Nottingham as it offers a more flexible and maintainable solution. It is particularly suitable where ongoing water ingress is expected or long-term reliability is a priority, and works well with basement tanking.
Whilst we often have same-week availability in Nottingham, it can be dependant on demand. Call 0113 208 9146 to speak to us and find the earliest survey appointment that works for you.

The best system depends on the structure and how water is entering the space. Most of the time, a combined approach (for example, Type A and Type C waterproofing together) is the offer the best protection for your property. A professional survey ensures the correct solution is selected.
Tanking can work in certain situations, but it is not always the most suitable option. Other systems may provide more reliable long-term protection. This is why we often recommend combined waterproofing systems to our clients.
A correctly designed and installed system can provide long-term protection, especially when properly maintained. We offer a 10-year guarantee on completed basement waterproofing systems for your peace of mind.
