What is Basement and Cellar Tanking?

Tanking is simply the process of installing a Waterproof System to an underground structure.

There are two systems to consider when waterproofing a Basement Structure.

Cavity Drainage System.

Tanking

Tanking is the process of applying waterproofing coatings to a structure to make it watertight.

Tanking Slurries are a blend of cement and chemical modifiers that calibrate to block the passage of water.

Tanking slurries are only as strong as the substrate to be used on and therefore can be prone to cracks with movement and thermal expansion.

When Tanking for External Waterproofing often bitumen coatings are used.

Tanking Slurries are usually applied or sandwiched into a three-coat Waterproof Plastering System using clean sand and cement with a Waterproofing Agent in the final coat.

The purpose of applying coats is to strengthen and give an even coat for the tanking slurry and then a rendered finish to decorate.

How we prepare a Tanking System!

Walls must be cleaned of all plasters to expose clean masonry.

All loose masonry joints should be removed, repaired and plugged with a specialist waterproofing compound.

Masonry should then be treated with a salt inhibitor to prevent a build-up in the Drainage System.

Wall and floor Junctions should be taped with a fillet joint to manufacturers specification to provide flexibility at crucial junctions reinforcing system at its weakest points.

Tanking Slurries should be applied in horizontal than vertical layers to ensure a good overlap.

Tanking a Basement floor follows the same process as the walls but should be protected usually with a screed. berestored.co.uk

CAVITY DRAINAGE SYSTEMS LONDON

Cavity Drainage systems are used internally and externally to control and drain water away to prevent dampness and water ingress into a structure. This is known also as Structural Waterproofing. Be Restored offering the Best Structural Waterproofing in London and Be Restored are leading Cavity Drainage Systems providers in London.

Installing high-density polyethylene sheets with preformed studs forms a cavity allowing water to drain away.  The membrane is impervious to water and vapour.

Technically Cavity Drainage Systems are not a form of tanking. Tanking is a form of internal and external waterproofing using common materials such as cementitious slurries, liquid bitumen coatings, and asphalt which are mainly water permeable.

Traditional masonry construction is prone to cracking and settlement, especially at joints and junctions. A Cementitious Tanking System would crack and with slightest of forces causing the system to fail.

A Cavity Drainage System offers flexibility and is capable of protecting structures from water ingress. Above all, it is maintainable and therefore can be fixed locally at any point of failure, unlike a Tanking system that would need to be replaced.

A Cavity Drainage System has drainage channels in the ground allowing water to collect at the lowest point into a Sump and Pump drain away. Afloat pump removes excess water to a designated drain.

What standard should a Waterproofing system adhere to?

When designing a Waterproofing system especially for habitable underground basements in London it is important to consider BS8102:2009. This British standard outlines the three key Waterproofing requirements and suggests consideration is given to the use of a dual system.

Do you need to use a pump with a Cavity Drainage System?

It is always strongly recommended that a pump is used in conjunction with a Cavity Drainage System. A dual back up pump with an alarm and battery back up in the event of power failure is also strongly advised.

What guarantee do you get with a Cavity Drainage System London?

A Cavity Drainage system is the choice of insurance companies who will be happy to offer a long backed guarantee usually 10 up to 20 years providing that it is installed by an approved certified contractor.

Do not get confused with a product guarantee that doesn’t cover workmanship or correct Installation.

Are all Cavity Drainage systems the same in design?

Every project is unique in design and consideration should be given to drainage around stairs, doorways, internal drains. This is why you should get a survey carried out by a certified reputable waterproofing company.
