Bitumen Slurry
To keep water out of a basement or cellar, then it will be necessary to waterproof the concrete foundations. The most common and effective method of concrete waterproofing is to apply a Type C waterproofing solution that includes a bitumen slurry coating, application of damp proofing membrane and a cavity drainage system. In some cases, this will be installed alongside a sump pump to drain away the collected water.
Basement Tanking
Cellar Tanking refers to creating an impenetrable waterproofing system.
This can be done in a number of ways.
It can be done through the application of a waterproof coating directly to the walls, floors and sometimes the ceiling of the basement, whilst on other occasions tanking membranes for basements are used to create the barrier. Whilst this method of waterproofing does not remove water, it creates a barrier, stopping the water and moisture from seeping in. It is often necessary to add a sump pump to remove water that collects beneath the cellar.
