Waterproofing Companies in the UK

Importance of keeping everything dry

It could be argued that waterproofing is the most important part of any structure. A fabulously designed building might have the ‘wow’ factor, but that beauty will eventually be spoilt if the right waterproofing systems are not installed to floors, walls, roofs and the surrounding earth.

Waterproofing has become even more in demand as pressure on space causes many home and business owners to look to make more use of basements, cellars and vaults. With below-ground rooms being particular susceptible to flooding and damp problems, an effective and durable waterproofing system is vital.

Another area growing in popularity is green roofing. Turf or plant-covered roofs have many environmental benefits, but need to have a specialist waterproof layer able to resist root penetration and carry considerable weight.

Along with various membranes for different applications, waterproofing might involve drainage channels, sumps and pumps, cementitious tanking and other products.
