Waterproofing

Basement conversions are an ideal method to add space and additional value to your home or property. A basement conversion is a far more cost effective option than buying or building a new space turning unused, dark and damp basements into functional living or working space. Peter Cox offer a full range of waterproof services, designed and tailored to suit your needs.

The first step is to protect against damp problems, as basements are particularly susceptible to damp, which can penetrate through walls and floors, due to capillary action and the pressure of water below ground level. This water ingress can lead to rising damp, penetrating damp, or in extreme cases, flooding. To prepare your cellar or basement for renovation, you must control the moisture and water entering the building structure, with correct ventilation in place to ensure moisture can exit.

With a basement waterproofing survey from Peter Cox, help is at hand for you to work out the best course of basement waterproofing for your private or commercial property. The first step is to book a survey from one of our professional surveyors, who can identify the causes of water ingress, and advise on the cost and type of work which needs to be carried out.
