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.

Basement waterproofing
Example Images
Images 1 and 2 = Water proofing of a commercial shop refurbishment to create a dry shop area to archways at Brighton Sea Front using the cavity membrane system.
Images 3 and 4 = The Dene Abinger Hammer basement conversion. A wet basement transformed into a habitable room using the Triton cavity drain system with full sump and pump
Images 5 and 6 = After construction of a high end domestic dwelling in Sittingborne, the developer found that the external waterproofing installed by the ground workers had failed around the swimming pool section of the build. Archer Specialist Treatments were instructed to attend and provided technical input together with a workable solution to create a dry habitable area.
Images 7 and 8 = Before and after images of the creation of a usable space in a barn conversation where a wet lower-level semi-basement was converted to a dry usable/habitable kitchen area incorporating the use of a Cavity membrane system in High Street, Lindfield.

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.
