BASEMENT TANKING NEWCASTLE
Moisture Mend provides specialist basement tanking in Newcastle and surrounding areas for below-ground spaces affected by damp and water ingress. We assess the condition of the affected surfaces before providing an appropriate tanking system designed to create a protective barrier against incoming moisture.
BASEMENT TANKING SERVICES IN NEWCASTLE
Below-ground walls can be exposed to persistent moisture from the surrounding ground, making an appropriate waterproofing system important where damp or water penetration is affecting the space. Moisture Mend provides basement tanking across Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland and Sunderland.
BASEMENT DAMP ASSESSMENT
Before a tanking system is selected, the moisture problem and condition of the basement should be understood. Our Damp Surveys can assess affected areas and signs of water ingress to help determine the appropriate waterproofing approach.
WATERPROOF TANKING SYSTEMS
Our Basement Waterproofing solutions can include appropriate tanking systems, waterproof barriers, membranes and coatings depending on the condition and requirements of the below-ground space.
TANKING & WALL REPAIRS
Preparing a basement for tanking can involve removing existing finishes affected by moisture. Our Damp Plaster Repairs, rendering and plastering services can help reinstate treated surfaces following the waterproofing work.
CREATING A WATERPROOF BARRIER FOR BELOW-GROUND WALLS
Basement tanking is a method of waterproofing designed to create a protective barrier between the internal surfaces of a below-ground space and moisture attempting to penetrate from the surrounding ground. The condition of the walls and extent of the moisture problem need to be considered before the appropriate system is selected.
Moisture Mend combines basement tanking with specialist damp and moisture expertise. Work can include preparing affected surfaces, applying suitable waterproof barriers, membranes or coatings and completing associated rendering or plastering where required as part of the overall waterproofing work.
SPECIALIST TANKING SOLUTIONS
The tanking approach is selected according to the condition of the basement and the nature and extent of the moisture problem.
WATERPROOFING & REINSTATEMENT
Where existing finishes need to be removed, appropriate rendering, plastering and associated repairs can be completed following the tanking work.
WHY CHOOSE MOISTURE MEND FOR BASEMENT TANKING?
A basement tanking system needs to be appropriate for both the property and the moisture conditions affecting it. Moisture Mend assesses the below-ground space before recommending a suitable waterproofing approach rather than simply covering over damp surfaces.
BASEMENT TANKING NEWCASTLE – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find answers to common questions about basement tanking in Newcastle, including how tanking works, when it may be required and associated waterproofing repairs.
WHAT IS BASEMENT TANKING?
Basement tanking is a waterproofing method that creates a protective barrier on suitable below-ground surfaces to resist moisture and water penetration from the surrounding ground.
WHEN MIGHT A BASEMENT NEED TANKING?
Tanking may be considered where below-ground walls are affected by persistent damp or water ingress and a waterproof barrier is an appropriate solution. The area should first be assessed to determine the nature of the moisture problem.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TANKING AND BASEMENT WATERPROOFING?
