Basement Waterproofing in Glasgow

Basements are a valuable part of any property, providing extra living or storage space. However, basements in Glasgow are particularly vulnerable to water intrusion due to the city’s high rainfall and fluctuating water table levels. Without proper waterproofing, basements can quickly become damp, leading to structural damage, mould growth, and unhealthy living conditions. At Matheson Damp Services, we specialise in comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions tailored to the unique challenges posed by Glasgow’s climate and architecture.


Understanding Basement Waterproofing

Glasgow’s wet weather and older buildings make basement waterproofing essential. Water can enter a basement through cracks in the walls or floor, through the joints where the walls meet the floor, or even through porous materials like brick or stone. Over time, this can lead to significant issues, including:

  • Damp and Musty Odours: Persistent moisture can create an unpleasant environment, making your basement unusable.
  • Structural Damage: Water infiltration can weaken the foundation and walls, leading to cracks, subsidence, and costly repairs.
  • Mould and Mildew: Damp conditions are ideal for mould and mildew growth, which can pose serious health risks to occupants.
  • Damage to Belongings: Water can ruin stored items, especially those made of wood, fabric, or paper.

Given these risks, investing in professional basement waterproofing is crucial for protecting your property and ensuring a dry, safe living space.

    Our Basement Waterproofing Solutions

    At Matheson Damp Services, we offer comprehensive basement waterproofing in Glasgow designed to address the specific needs of your property. Our process begins with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of water ingress and identify the most effective treatment options.

    Our basement waterproofing services include tanking, which involves applying a liquid waterproof coating to a basement’s walls and floor. We may also employ a system involving mesh membrane, channels, and a sump and pump system. By stopping water from entering the wall, it effectively renders moist walls permanently waterproof.

They were very efficient and repaired the damage and were very conscientious about ensuring the place was neat and tidy afterwards. They also entertained us with some jokes!”
