Fixing Basement Damp at the Source
Choosing experienced basement specialists in Perth ensures your waterproofing system is designed correctly from the outset. Poor design or installation can lead to recurring issues and costly repairs.
Our team assesses your basement structure, ground conditions, and water ingress risks before recommending the most suitable solution. This ensures your space remains dry and usable.
We offer both Type A (barrier) and Type C (drainage) waterproofing systems, selected based on your property and usage requirements. Our designs follow BS8102 guidelines, ensuring the right level of protection for your basement.
We identify and address the source of basement damp proofing in Perth, ensuring your waterproofing system performs as intended. Where needed, we can also support with structural repairs or damp proofing to provide a complete solution.
Basement Tanking in Perth
Water ingress can be caused by hydrostatic pressure, poor drainage, or construction defects. Treating the symptoms alone often leads to recurring problems.
Basement tanking in Perth is a barrier system applied to walls and floors to prevent water from entering. It’s also known as Type A waterproofing and is commonly used where structural protection is required against moisture ingress.
We install high-performance tanking systems that create a watertight seal. This approach is ideal for certain property types and can be combined with other methods for added protection.
Cavity Drainage and Basement Sump Pump Systems
For basements at higher risk of water ingress, drainage systems are often the most effective solution. Our basement sump pump installation near Perth includes cavity drainage membranes, channels, and reliable pump systems.
This approach safely manages water, directing it away from your property. It’s a dependable solution for creating dry, habitable basement spaces, especially when combined with another waterproofing method, such as basement tanking.
We design combined waterproofing systems, using Type A waterproofing to prevent water from entering the structure, while the Type C system manages and controls water using drainage channels and sump pumps.
Our designs follow BS8102 guidelines, ensuring the right level of protection for your basement.
Whilst we often have same-week availability in Perth, it can be dependent on demand. Call 01738 893 120 to speak to us and find the earliest survey appointment that works for you.
