Structural waterproofing and membrane barrier fitting.
At Balmore Specialist Contracts, we provide tanking for external walls and floors to prevent water penetration.
The internal walls of a building (both old and new) are vulnerable to water penetration and damp build up. This build up of water and dampness can occur for a number of different reasons ranging from:
- Building faults
- Rising damp
- Penetrating damp
All of these issues can lead to structural issues with a building which is why wall tanking is used as a method to prevent water ingress and penetration. Tanking creates an impermeable waterproof barrier on a wall or floor. While commonly used for basement structures and other below ground structures, tanking is the term for completely sealing a room and making a waterproof ‘tank like’ barrier.
