What Is Type B Waterproofing?

Type B waterproofing, also known as structural waterproofing or tanking, is a method employed in the construction or renovation phase of below-ground structures like basements, underground car parks, and tunnels to prevent water ingress into the building’s structure. It involves the creation of an internal barrier using materials like waterproof membranes, coatings, or cementitious renders, which are integrated into the structure itself, becoming an integral part of the construction. Typically applied during new construction projects, Type B waterproofing must be installed by trained professionals and may require periodic maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in keeping the interior spaces dry and free from water damage. The choice of waterproofing method depends on factors such as the building’s design, site conditions, and local regulations, and consulting with a waterproofing specialist or engineer is advisable to determine the most suitable solution for a specific project.

I spoke to James over the phone when their workers were doing some work at my neighbours. He was very clear and prompt with his response. Then I booked an appointment for him to visit my property to inspect for rising damp. James arrived within the time span given and was very patient in explaining the problem and gave us a quote within the time scale he promised. His pricing is reasonable and quote has clear explanation of what would be done and what is the requirement from us. We have now decided to go ahead and complete the work with them. Excellent communication & customer service so far.

James did an excellent job inspecting and reporting on a woodworm issue before we purchased our house. His report was clear and easy to understand, and he was very helpful when I called to discuss the implications and the works needed. Highly recommended!

The Type B Waterproofing Process

The Type B waterproofing process is a comprehensive approach to managing and diverting groundwater and external moisture away from your property. It typically involves the use of specialised materials and systems. High-quality waterproof membranes create a protective barrier to keep water out, while efficient drainage systems are employed to channel water away from the building. Protective coatings may also be applied to enhance the water-resistant properties of surfaces. The process is designed to safeguard your property against the challenges posed by water, maintaining a dry and secure environment.
