Tanking in Dundee

Tanking Services

Tanking – also referred to as below ground waterproofing – involves the application of a waterproofing barrier to the walls, the base slab and in some cases to the roof of the below ground structure. The goal of waterproof tanking is to encase the entire envelope of the below ground structure to protect it from water ingress.

We can provide professional and reliable tanking services for anything you need, including foundations, basements, carparks. lift pits and any other underground structures.

Using only the best quality waterproofing materials in all our work, at Global Preservation, we’re also licensed applicators for the best membranes available. This means we can guarantee that when our team provides tanking services, they’ll be of the very highest standard.

Below ground waterproofing is as important as the very structural foundations supporting a building. Without the combination of watertight footings & foundations, a building will deteriorate rapidly. Very often, below grade waterproofing systems are inaccessible for repairs. In some projects, it may not be even commercially viable, or even possible, to fix failed basement membranes. Negative waterproofing methods, crack injection systems, can be used to attempt to rectified leaking basements from the inside. Repairs to leaking basements can be extremely costly if rectifications are necessary at a future date.

Tanking is a form of underground waterproofing and is one of the services we provide at Global Preservation in Dundee & surrounding areas.

Tanking methods

The three types of waterproof tanking are:

Waterproof concrete, where admixtures are added to the concrete to make it stronger and less permeable to water.

Drainage, or cavity wall construction, where water is allowed to enter the outer wall and then is pumped out.

Waterproof membranes, where there is a physical barrier placed outside of the below ground structure to keep moisture and gas vapour from entering the structure.

Prevent The Damaging Effects Of Rot With Vital Building Inspection

Preventive measures are vital to make sure that rot damage is detected before the situation gets worse. A building inspection will identify parts of the property that are affected and decaying, but this task should be designated to a professional – human senses alone can’t adequately assess potential moisture problems.

Our team at Global Preservation can help you find and address the problems in your Dundee property. After finding the issues, we’ll also present solutions on how to resolve them immediately and effectively.
