Tanking repair on basement wall subject to underground soil‼️
This is a tanking repair on a customer’s basement wall that had issues with penetrating damp from a tanking system that had deteriorated over time and eventually failed.
On inspection, we could evidently see an issue with the basement wall in particular lower down at the weakest point of the wall where the wall meets the floor and also in the centre/middle of the wall.
Repair:
- Contaminated plaster/render removed from floor to ceiling heightâś…
- Application of a Wall to floor fillet joint using a specialised tanking slurry to form a strong waterproofing barrierâś…
- 2 coats of tanking slurry to physically block groundwater and salts from entering the internal space âś…
This repair is a type A waterproofing system that is highly effective for basement walls that are underground by completely changing how the wall/building handles water pressure.
Wall will be allowed to cure for at least 7-14 days before re boarding/plastering⏳
