Basement Waterproofing in Falkirk
A basement is a great addition to your property, offering extra space for living or storage. However, due to high rainfall and fluctuating water table levels, your basement can become damp. This can mean bad smells, mould, or structural damage, which can make your property unsafe. Matheson Damp Services offers a comprehensive basement waterproofing in Falkirk that will suit the unique conditions of Falkirk, including weather and building styles.
Why Does Basement Waterproofing in Falkirk Matter?
Basements generally sit below the water table, which means ground water can saturate the area – including the walls to your basement. Basements in Falkirk and the rest of Central Scotland may be more prone to water ingress due to high rainfall in the area. Older buildings in particular can be more susceptible to basement water ingress due to insufficient or degraded waterproofing measures. Without proper protection, your basement may suffer from damp, which can cause bad smells, mould, or structural damage, which can make your property unsafe to be in.
Water can enter a basement in several ways, including:
- Defective or Missing Waterproofing: Especially in older buildings in Falkirk, basement waterproofing measures may have degraded or not been installed, meaning your basement is susceptible to water ingress
- Surface Water Runoff: Faulty gutters and drains may not properly channel water away from the property. Landscaping may also play a part here – if surface water is directed towards your property, your basement will be at risk of water ingress that can seep into the walls.
- Hydrostatic Pressure: Heavy rainfall can cause groundwater levels to rise, which increases pressure against basement walls and floors. This increased pressure means water can be forced into the building through cracks or porous materials.
