Tanking is the term often used to refer to the waterproofing of a basement. Tanking is a completely waterproof membrane applied over a surface, preventing the entry of water. It can be useful in homes with basements which may be flooded due to flood water coming in from above. It can also prevent water coming in from below if the water table rises.
Tanking gives you peace of mind that your whole home is protected. Stormguard Floodplan offer a full specification and installation service, tailored to your property.
The most common wall tanking method for waterproofing basement walls is Structural Waterproofing. This is a multi-coat, pore-blocking slurry mix, sandwiched between two coats of dense cement render.
The tanking slurry contains polymers that enhance adhesion to the wall and increase tensile strength. Once applied, the tanking is able to withstand external water pressure. A dry environment is maintained due to a physical barrier stopping water entering the basement area through the walls.
