Here at Insite Southern, we provide a way of tapping into this potential space through a process known as tanking. Southampton customers, if the cellar or basement is damp, you’ll need to call us before you proceed with converting it. To find out more, call us today on 023 8063 7264.
First, what is tanking? The short answer is that tanking is a process in which a tank-like seal (hence the name) is created to protect walls against water penetration. If you’re considering converting a damp cellar or basement, you’ll absolutely need to request tanking, Southampton customers. If you don’t, you’ll be plagued with damp-related issues which could prove costlier to fix later.
Here at Insite Southern, we boast a proud reputation, providing customers with sound advice and expert remedial services. Our methods employ the use of eco-friendly chemicals, and we only ever adopt an approach that’s been tried and tested. For years, we’ve provided Southampton tanking services and have become very adept at it.
Cellars and basements are a potential goldmine for space, but they suffer two rather inconvenient afflictions – lateral damp penetration and hydrostatic pressure. The latter is attributed to gravity combined with the weight and volume of any water above. The result is a space that’s often very damp unless it’s been modified through tanking. In Southampton, we’re pleased to help in this regard.
Our range of waterproofing and tanking solutions will transform even the dampest of cellars or basements. We’ll take a space previously uninhabitable and turn it into a dry, habitable space which can serve as a template for anything you desire. Tanking, Southampton property owners, involves us installing cementitious tanking systems.
Even if the surface is awkward, we can install the tanking system without much effort, so long as there is no “free-flowing water” or risk of flooding. Southampton, tanking systems such as these can be easily plastered over, creating a smooth surface that can then be decorated as you see fit. You’ll never even know that the system was there.
For the walls and floors, we can lay down cavity drain membranes which are studded and made from high-density polypropylene. These can be easily covered over by dry lining/plastering (walls) or screed/overlay (floors). If free water is suspected, we can introduce a “sump pump” into the equation. Also, if your property features an above-ground structure that’s unsuitable for conventional damp proofing, this system can be used instead.
All this will be discussed with you during our initial consultation. You’ll be informed of the work required and presented with a no-obligation quotation that will list all the associated costs.
