What Is Basement Tanking?
Basement tanking is a waterproofing system designed to stop water and moisture from penetrating below-ground walls and floors. By creating a protective barrier, tanking helps keep basements and cellars dry while reducing the risk of damp, mould and structural damage.
For homeowners across Manchester, basement tanking can provide long-term protection and create a space suitable for storage, utility areas or future conversion projects.

Basement Waterproofing Solutions in Manchester
Rising damp can be effectively treated by injecting a silicone-based damp proofing course into the affected wall. If needed, any damaged plaster will be removed and replaced with renovating plaster or a specialised cavity wall membrane system.
Although most properties in the UK are fitted with a damp proofing course, issues can occur due to poor installation, damage, or high external ground levels that bridge the course.
Our solutions come with a 25-year guarantee, providing lasting protection for your home.
Signs Your Basement May Need Tanking
Damp Patches
Persistent damp patches on basement walls or floors are often one of the first signs that moisture is entering the structure. These areas may appear darker, feel cold to the touch or worsen after periods of rainfall.
If left untreated, damp can damage plaster, decorations and stored belongings while creating conditions that allow moisture problems to spread throughout the space.
Mould & Musty Odours
Musty smells and visible mould growth are common indicators of excess moisture within a basement or cellar. These issues often develop when water ingress combines with poor ventilation and high humidity levels.
Over time, mould can affect air quality and damage surfaces, making the space less comfortable and suitable for everyday use or future conversion projects.
