Make the most of your basement!

If you wish to increase your living space – and the value of your property – you can achieve great results by making the most of your basement or cellar as a living space.

However, below-ground level rooms require structural waterproofing in order to be habitable and prevent serious damp problems.

Should you wish to make the most of your cellar, we offer structural waterproofing solutions:

Pescon (Kent) Limited’s philosophy in respect of penetrating dampness is to control water ingress with the use of cavity drainage membrane, as opposed to waterproof renders, which block the passage of water, thereby increasing the potential for the build up of water pressure, which can eventually lead to failure of render systems.

The use of cavity drainage membranes allows us to direct water to an extraction point where it can be removed by mechanical means.

Added advantages of the membrane system:

• Repairable in the event of accidental damage.
• Improved thermal properties.
• Skirting boards, units, shelving etc can be secured without compromising the system (not so with rendered systems).
• Reduced drying time, allowing for almost immediate redecoration.
• Reduced surface preparation time.
