Basement & Cellar Tanking
Tanking is the term given to the installation of a waterproofing system within a basement or cellar.
Two Methods of Tanking
When tanking basements or cellars, one of two methods are traditionally employed:
1. Applying a cementitious waterproofing product.
This is often accompanied by applying liquid rubber products and self-healing membranes which mechanically bond the elements together.
2. Apply a damp proof membrane to the interior wall
Essentially, this is a sheet of polypropylene applied as overlapping layers. The separate sheets are bonded together and plastered over.
