What Is Basement Tanking
Tanking is a cementitious form of basement waterproofing that has been applied to basements, cellars and other underground spaces for decades. Basement tanking is also commonly known as tanking slurry, to the walls and floor. You will often find that this slurry is supported by the installation of waterproof membranes to ensure complete protection and make sure your basement walls remain dry.
Tanking is primarily used to tackle water ingress, and basement tanking is particularly good at resisting hydrostatic pressure i.e. water pressure on underground walls from the surrounding earth. This has made tanking an extremely popular method of treating and waterproofing damp walls underground.
Our specialists will show you in detail exactly what basement tanking systems are available, how to apply them, and how it can work alongside other waterproof systems to ensure your basement remains safe and dry from leaks and flooding.

What is the difference between Tanking & Waterproofing?
You may ask what is the difference between tanking and waterproofing? This is a common question for people who are looking to convert a basement or cellar into a dry space.

Basement tanking describes the application of one type of coating or membrane (barrier protection). We provide products for all types of waterproofing and often recommend that systems are combined for optimum protection against water.
When you shouldn’t use basement tanking?
There are sytuations when tanking shouldn’t be use. Tanking is susceptible to cracking and failing in the following circumstances:
- New builds where the property is expected to “settle”
- Property subsidence
- Underground vibrations from a railway line, underground or busy road
