Basement & cellar waterproofing
A damp cellar is wasted space. We tank and waterproof basements and cellars — including full conversions — to create dry, usable rooms that stay that way.
Why basements need waterproofing
Because they sit below ground, cellars and basements are under constant pressure from surrounding damp soil and groundwater. Traditional Glasgow properties often have cellars that were never designed to be habitable, so without proper waterproofing they stay cold, damp and prone to mould and rot. Done correctly, waterproofing turns that space into a dry, usable room — a utility, store, gym or extra living space.
Signs your basement needs work
- Damp, wet or water-marked walls and floors
- A persistent musty smell and high humidity
- Efflorescence (white salt deposits) on masonry
- Mould growth, and rot in any timber below ground level
- Standing water after heavy or prolonged rain
How we waterproof it
The right system depends on the property and how you want to use the space. Options include tanking (applying a waterproof barrier directly to the walls and floor) and cavity drainage membrane systems that manage water to a drainage point. For full conversions we handle the waterproofing alongside the associated joinery, so you get a finished, dry room rather than just a treated shell.
What to expect
We start with a free, no-obligation survey to assess the water problem and how you'd like to use the space, then set out the options and a clear written quotation. Preservation and waterproofing work is backed by our 30-year written guarantee.
