Tanking - Structural Waterproofing Services from Conifer

Tanking - Structural waterproofing, dampproofing, basement conversions, cellar conversions

Cellar / Basement Conversions
Converting a damp cellar or basement can be a surprisingly inexpensive way of increasing living space and can substantially increase the value of a property.

Waterproofed cellars and basements can be converted into home cinemas, kitchens, bathrooms, wine cellars, living rooms, studies, or even recording studios. You are limited only by your imagination. In commercial premises, common uses for basements include, extra storage / retail space, car parks, bars/nightclubs, and restaurants.

Conifer Property Services offer two main types of system for waterproofing existing cellars and basements. By offering both types of system we are able to offer an impartial opinion as to which system is best suited for a particular project. We are also able to supply waterproofing systems for the construction of new basements:

Cementisious Structual Waterproofing:
The Vandex Basement Waterproofing System - is a multi-coat waterproofing system that is both durable and versatile. The main coating material, Vandex BB75, is a cement-based powder which is mixed with water and applied to walls, floors, and ceilings by spray or trowel. It sets to form a bond with the masonry substrate, creating an impervoius barrier to the movement of water; ideal for basement conversions.

A sand-cement render is applied to the walls and a bottle cove formed at the wall-floor junction using Vandex Unimortar 1. Two coats of Vandex BB75 are then applied to the walls and floor. Finally, a screed is applied to the floor and a suitable plaster is applied to the walls.

Cavity Membrane System:
The Oldroyd Xv Clear system is particularly suited to dampproofing the Victorian basements commonly encountered in the UK as it does not rely on the soundness of the underlying substrate for its effectiveness. The membrane is sealed to walls and ceilings by means of special sealed fixing plugs, whilst on the floor there is normally no need for any form of fixing.

Oldroyd Xv can be covered with plasterboard (using timber battens or the Fastframe Drylining System), screed, or a floating timber floor. A drainage facility, incorporating a sump and a pump, will usually need to be included as part of the system. The Aquadrain perimeter drainage channel may also be used to provide additional drainage at the wall-floor junction.

Combination Systems:
The best solution is often a combination of the two systems (e.g. Oldroyd Xv applied to floors and walls, with the Vandex system used to waterproof a flat ceiling).
