STRUCTURAL WATERPROOFING AND TANKING TREATMENT SYSTEMS

The term Tanking Treatments or Waterproofing Treatments are words used to describe the installation techniques used to protect buildings.

Water pressure or groundwater will penetrate into a Basement or Cellar below ground level taking usually the easy route to enter the building.

The question here is, what happens if tanking treatments or waterproofing treatments are only installed partially only where the water is penetrating or flowing into the basement or Cellar?

The answer here is that the penetrating or flowing water will find another way around the partial system installed and cause failure and water will ingress.

This is why the words Tanking Treatments or Structural Waterproofing Treatment Systems come into play.

There is little point in wasting money trying to fix the problem with partial treatments systems as these types of systems break down. 

Structural Waterproofing or Tanking Treatments installed correctly to the building either internally or externally,  will keep damp and water ingress from the outside entering into your basement or cellar.

The recommended and most obvious option is to install a full Structural Waterproofing Tanking System to the property or building which is more efficient with less chance of the waterproofing system breaking down if it is installed to the correct  design specification by a Basement and Cellar Waterproofing contractor who has many years of experience to design and install the waterproofing solution to the problem.

Various types of full waterproofing tanking systems can be installed including a sump pump and chamber.The Aqua drain channel installed  is usually fit around the internal perimeter walls of the Basement or Cellar wall areas incorporating a rodding eye or jetting eye for access and maintenence.

This type of waterproofing is called a type "C" Cavity Drain Structural Basement Waterproofing System installed to 

BS8102 British Standard Waterproofing Regulations. 

This type of system controls the water flow below the floor and wall areas of the building with the aid of Aqua drainage channels and Sump and Pump. The term sometimes used when this type of system is installed is Structural Waterproofing Treatments or Structural Tanking Treatments.

Usually, the weakest point for water ingress in Basement and Cellars is the floor to wall junction, this is where the internal solid floor meets up with the internal walls around the perimeter walls of the building. 

This is one of the main points where the Waterproofing Tanking Treatments Systems should be applied or carried out and installed correctly to the correct specification so as to create the perfect waterproofing seal.

The Current Building Regulations regarding basement heights from finished floor level to ceiling height has changed. Although now the regulation does not require a minimum ceiling height of 2.1 Meters in new Basements and Cellars

We  recommend that when converting your basement into a usable space that you consider the  head height from finish floor level to finish Ceiling height level.

The determined level or space is so as to leave you with enough space for what you intend to use the basement and cellar space for. Ceilings in Basements and Cellars will need to be Firelined plasterboarded or boarded to fire regulations.Dont forget to talk to your contractor regarding what your proposed use of the space will be when it is converted.

You will still need to apply for planning permission or Building control approval before any commencement of the basement or cellar convertion or upgrade works If you are changing the way you are using the space or converting your basement or cellar into a bedroom or other type of useful spaces ,as this is classed as change of use.

It Is very important for the client to make sure before any remedial works are carried out that Building Control Approval has been applied for and approved. It is also important to let your neighbors know and make sure that the party wall act has been agreed by all or both parties and signed by you and your neighbor. 

If you do not get permission or you do not get an agreed signed party wall act notice, you might be risking the time scale of the work in progress as your neighbor has the legal right to ask you to stop work until a written agreement has been put in place.They also have a legal right to stop the job if they have not been notified by way of the party wall act notice of this type of remedial work.

If in any doubt it is always wise to consult with your solicitor before the commencement of any works where your neighbor might be affected especially where work is going to be carried out on Party walls or boundaries and also so that your legal rights are also written down and agreed with your neighbor.
