Waterproofing and damp-proofing new & existing basement structures
About
Maintaining low moisture levels and removing any stagnant water from concrete structures will lengthen their longevity. Concrete Remedial Systems are committed to providing waterproof solutions, covering different options for protecting external and internal concrete structures from water ingress. For above and below ground structures, our certified staff offer a thorough scope of waterproofing including barrier protection, cementitious coatings, tanking membranes and cavity draining solutions.
Why is waterproofing concrete structures important?
More Info
Without sufficient waterproofing measures in place, concrete is prone to structural damage caused by water retention. As water can permeate a concrete structure in a number of ways, more than one type of waterproofing may be necessary to keep concrete dry. Waterproofing can prevent water from getting in from outside while also protecting the concrete from moisture that collects on the inside through condensation.
Concrete absorbs moisture and once water is retained within the structure, it starts to cause problems. The thaw-freeze cycle causes the greatest damage as water expands when frozen, creating cracks in the concrete. Even the smallest cracks are an issue that need addressing as this allows water to reach deeper within the concrete. As the water damage goes deep, it becomes more and more costly to repair.
Damp concrete also invites mould spores to grow, leading to further issues that can make repairs and renovations a real issue further down the line.

Our Concrete Waterproofing Solutions
Whether new build or refurbishments, Concrete Remedial Systems apply waterproofing systems in line with BS 8102:2022 (the British standard for protection of structures against water from the ground). Our work and services all provide a warranty for a minimum of 10 years.
Type A - Barrier Protection
Through introducing cementitious protective coatings, we can enhance the level of waterproofing. These liquid membranes shield porous concrete from surface water and moisture, preventing water retention. Applied in layers on concrete floors, walls and ceilings, we use a variety of products to ensure a strong standard of waterproofing.
Type B - Integrated Waterproofing System
Completed during construction, this method of waterproofing utilises the structure itself to create a barrier. All new builds compliant with BS 8102:2022 will have factored in external walls for basement builds that keep out water.
Older domestic and commercial builds constructed before integral barriers were essential for concrete structures may not have external barriers built in line with regulations. In this case, Concrete Remedial Systems are on hand to apply waterproofing directly to the surfaces using Type A and Type C.
Type C - Cavity Drainage
Cavity drain membrane (CDM) systems are a maintainable, internal basement waterproofing solution referred to as ‘Type C’ waterproofing in British Standard 8102:2022 and are ideal for new-build, refurbishment and historic/listed projects. Known as the most failsafe form of waterproofing, the cavity drain membranes capture ingressing water at the point of ingress and directs it to an integral pumping system or drainage outlet for safe removal.
Protective Coatings
Protective coatings greatly extend the life of concrete structures. This can greatly extend the life of concrete structures by enhancing the durability of the concrete with a protective coating. This could be the difference between your structure lasting 30 years or having to be completely replaced at great expense after 5, or less years.
