Understanding Dampness: The First Step to a Dry Cellar 

Dampness can be a significant issue for many homeowners, leading to mould growth, unpleasant odours, and potential structural damage. 
 
Identifying the source of damp is crucial, whether it’s rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation. Tackling these issues through effective waterproofing and tanking is essential to restore your cellar’s integrity and usability. 

What is Tanking? 

Tanking refers to applying a waterproof membrane or coating directly to the interior walls and floor of the cellar. This creates a physical barrier against moisture, preventing water from penetrating the surfaces. Tanking is particularly recommended for areas experiencing severe dampness or where the water table is high.

By transforming your cellar into a usable space, you not only increase its functionality but also significantly improve your property’s value. A dry cellar is far more appealing to potential buyers, as it mitigates the risks associated with structural damage and mould growth.
