Cementitious Structural Water-proofing (Tanking)

Tapco HomeDry.com are long term specialists at preventing penetrating damp through walls that are below ground level or are subject to other conditions that can cause lateral damp penetration. This aspect of work, often known as ‘tanking‘ is sometimes carried out as a part of other damp proofing works, which may be recommended by our surveyor. We have been established since 1971 and our surveyors are qualified damp and timber surveyors who will advise you of the cause of the problem and the best solution to solve it. You will be issued with a detailed report together with our recommendations and cost of the works.

What Tapco HomeDry.com does to eliminate lateral damp penetration

Tanking walls below ground level is very specialist work and is carried out by our trained and experienced technicians who have many years of structural water proofing experience. We use a tanking system which is alkali-resistant synthetically modified cement. This is mixed with styrene-butadiene and water, producing a water proof barrier system against both moisture and hydrostatic ground water. After only 24 hours our finished system can usually be plastered by us, in accordance with our damp proof plastering specification, ready for decorating. Tapco HomeDry.com are Sovereign Chemicals and Safeguard Europe approved structural water proofing contractors.

Whether the problem is a small isolated area of tanking or a complete basement conversion, the proceedure is the same and should only be carried out by Tapco HomeDry.com under the terms of our 10 year guarantee.
