Waterproofing
Active Services have 26 years experience in waterproofing for basement conversions and underground walls but also in the more complex situations
of lift pits and underground walls below the water table.
All new and existing basements, houses with all or part earth retaining walls can easily be brought to dry, insulated living areas.
CONVERSIONS |
There is a growing trend of homeowners utilising existing damp and dank cellars by converting basements into bright and comfortable habitable
living areas.
The solution to basement conversions is described as Cavity Drain Membrane System which can be applied with little preparation to the walls.
Cavity membrane is both vapour proof and impervious to water, also adding additional insulation value.
Drainage provision is installed and internal finishes of insulation and plasterboard or plaster and render products are applied to provide
dry and well insulated living areas.

NEW BUILD |
New build basements are becoming an increasing popular choice. A basement increases potential living space in new dwellings, taking pressure
off the need for additional land.
With improving construction techniques and waterproofing technology the concern for leaks is no longer a stumbling block.
