Basement tanking

Cellars and basements that are below ground are susceptible to penetrating damp (not to be confused with Rising Damp). When water has penetrated through the walls, waterproofing becomes necessary.

What is Tanking?

Do you think your property needs basement tanking? The waterproofing of cellars and basements is a highly important step in safeguarding your property from the damage that water can cause to a building. By installing a waterproof membrane over a brick surface is a surefire way of ensuring that you are protected from the elements. If you rely on the experience and expertise of Archer Specialist Treatments when installing tanking in your property, you can cope with the wettest of walls and the highest levels of water pressure while still permitting water vapour diffusion. Say goodbye to penetrating damp and call Archer Specialist Treatments today.

Benefits To You

By working with Archers to waterproof your property, we can perform a variety of activities including, but not limited to sealing cracks in the foundation, installing a sump pump, and installing a drainage system to divert ground water, all of which are very effective in preventing basement floods.

This will result in a healthier home environment, a new habitable living space, lower heating and cooling costs, prevention of structural damage, and in some cases a reduction in costs of insurance claims in relation to water damage.
