What Tapco HomeDry.com does to eliminate lateral damp penetration
Damp proofing walls below ground level is very specialist work which 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, which is carried out in accordance with our damp proof plastering system, ready for decorating. Tapco HomeDry.com are approved contractors for Sovereign Chemicals and Safeguard Europe.
Whether the problem requires 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 guarantee.
