Crystal Damp Proofing & Basements
Leading Basement Waterproofing Specialists in Walthamstow E17, E10.
Waterproofing Basement in old buildings is a big challenge because there is very little space there, making our work very difficult. The project we did in Walthamstow 3 months ago was an example of this; the vertical space was only 1.50m, and all our work had to be done on our knees; it made the installation of the cavity drain membrane with a sump pump take more time than usual. In the end, we managed to successfully waterproof the basement, which is now protected from any water that was finding its way inside the basement.

Basement waterproofing is very common these days, so we should use the wetter the Basement, the more waterproofing materials in a given room. If the hydro-plumbing does not fulfil the function of water still sucking in, then the work done by previous employees or people selling the apartment or house, the costs will be enormous.
The fundamental element is to find the cause of the formation of moisture, fungus or leakage through the pipes passing through the rains. If a given room, such as a utility room and meaning is below the ground, it is worth including as low groundwater with an increased risk of water occurrence in the Basement.
The best material for Waterproofing is the Cavity drain membrane because it drains water automatically through the installed Sump Pump System.
The underground Vault, located mainly under the sidewalk along the road, is very prone to leakage due to cracks that are caused by vibrations from passing vehicles.
It is a very unpleasant sight as water drips from the ceiling onto personal belongings that we have stored for years. The frequently used Tanking Slurry is poorly made in combination with waterproof render; it cannot provide good deodorization against water drips or wet spots. If a Cavity Drain membrane is used, the drainage from the groundwater is more effective and ensures dryness in the room.
Indeed, you should contact the appropriate companies that specialize in removing mould, fungus and flooding.
We also specialize in removing flooding, fungi, e.t.c; our qualifications allow us to advise and find an appropriate solution for a given cause.
Suppose we decide to protect the Basement against groundwater. In that case, it is worth remembering that the cost of this system is considerable but also durable, i.e. we have provided a Waterproofing basement for many years. The only additional cost is the Sump Pump system service, which in combination with Cavity Wall The membrane gives us 100% certainty that no water will get into the Basement.
The fundamental element is an appointment to obtain information such as:
– checking the walls, moisture and floor, as well.
– we take measurements of walls and floors for accurate calculations.
– we are coming
– after a thorough inspection of the room, we can find out what causes occur in a given room.

Which Basement Waterproofing Method Is Right For You?:
Type A – Barrier System (Tanking)
One of the most common methods of basement waterproofing is underground tanking. By applying a waterproofing membrane coating to the interior or exterior surface of your walls or bricks, our Crystal Damp Proofing & Basements experts ensure that your Walthamstow property is completely protected from the elements.
Type B – Waterproofing
Type B waterproofing is an inbuilt characteristic of the actual structure by adding waterproofing additives to the concrete used to form the floors and walls of the structure. Although normally effective in its own right, the joints of the structure are it’s weak spot and as such are susceptible to water penetration. Type B waterproofing is normally backed up by combining type A, C or sometimes both to ensure a watertight system and minimise risk. Type B basement waterproofing is normally specified in newbuild below ground structures.
Type C – Drained Cavity
Drainage cavities are made in between the internal and external basement walls and floorings in order to gather and drain water that has penetrated the walls through the use of a pump.
