When industry professionals talk about basement waterproofing systems they generally break them down into 3 different types. Type A (Barrier Protection), Type B (Structurally Integral Protection) and Type C (Drained Protection). By far the most common type of waterproofing system we install at Peter Cox is Type C. Type C basement waterproofing usually involves managing any water ingress inside the property and it is the most modern method of basement waterproofing. Type C waterproofing systems rely on draining water away from a property, so rather than creating a barrier to hydrostatic pressure in the surrounding earth, water ingress is instead permitted to enter the property and then channelled back out.

Basement waterproofing can often mean the difference between a basement being a dank, damp and miserable space and it being safe, dry and habitable. More often than not basements reside "below the water table". This means they are vulnerable to hydrostatic pressure caused by water in the ground that surrounds them. This pressure caused by water against the floor and wall of the basement will often lead to cracks, leaks and eventually damp problems. For these reasons, If you want to convert the basement in your property into a usable space, then basement damp proofing is essential.

Frequently found on windows, walls and ceilings, condensation is the name given to the process of water vapour in the air changing into liquid, but how exactly does this occur and why is it in your home? Activities like boiling water and drying clothes release a lot of water vapour heavy air into the atmosphere of your home, and when this damp air comes into contact with cooler air or a colder surface it is unable to retain the same amount of moisture. As a result, condensation or water droplets begin to form on the cold surface.
