Professional Basement Tanking to Keep Below-Ground Spaces Dry and Protected
At Get Damp Proofing, we specialise in high-quality basement tanking solutions designed to create a watertight barrier against water ingress. Whether you’re converting a cellar into a livable space or safeguarding an existing basement from damp and leaks, our professional tanking services ensure your property stays dry, safe, and structurally sound.
Basements are, by nature, humid places because they sit below ground level. Water pressure from the soil on either side of a basement pushes moisture through walls and floors, leading to mould, rot, and structural damage. Our tanking systems apply specialist waterproof materials directly onto basement walls and floors to completely seal out the water.
From complete tanking systems to cavity drainage membranes, we offer customised solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout London and the South East. Each installation is carried out by our professional damp proofing team, utilising proven methods that provide long-term defence and peace of mind.
Let’s get the quality you expect
Get Damp Proofing offers industry-leading basement tanking that not only prevents damp but also makes your below-ground space more functional, healthy, and property-value friendly.

Basement tanking is a waterproofing method used to prevent water from entering below-ground spaces. It involves applying a waterproof barrier directly to the internal walls and floors of a basement or cellar.
Due to being below ground, basements are vulnerable to water ingress caused by soil pressure. Tanking prevents damp, mould, and structural damage, making the space usable and healthy.
We use high-performance waterproofing materials such as cementitious tanking slurry, bitumen coatings, and cavity drain membranes, depending on the specific requirements of the building.
Yes, when installed correctly by experienced professionals, basement tanking offers long-lasting protection. We also provide warranties for peace of mind.
Absolutely. Once your basement is professionally tanked, it can be safely used for storage, living, or even commercial purposes without the risk of damp or leaks.
Timelines vary depending on the size and condition of the basement, but most projects can be completed within a few days to a week. We’ll provide a clear schedule during your consultation.
