Waterproofing Basements

There is a growing trend of homeowners utilising existing damp cellars and converting them into bright habitable living areas. At Iceberg developments we understand each basement provides its own set of challenges. Our management team have decades of experience in design, construction and development of basements

Types of Waterproofing Systems

There are several different types of basement waterproofing options and the right one for your project will vary. The most commonly used is referred to as Type C – Drained Protection. This involves the installation of a ‘water management’ system that uses a system of wall membrane, drainage and sump pumps to collect and remove water from your basement. This system guarantees basements remain dry, without any risks of cracks and leaks from external water pressure

Type C waterproofing is defined by the British Standards Institute (BSI) code of practice BS8102:2009.

Key Steps to Installing a Cavity Membrane System

Flooded basement transformed into a brilliant useable space

When Sati and the team started in our cellar, they were literally wading through water. Throughout the project, the disruption to the rest of the house was virtually non existent and we have ended up with a brilliant, useable space. Great people, excellent workmanship and fully informed all the way through. Highly recommended.

Punctual, reliable, tidy, friendly, professional, trustworthy and very efficient

We had a problem with damp in our cellar and asked Iceberg Developments to take a look and assess what needed to be done. They very quickly came over and thankfully were able to start the tanking job very soon after providing us a quote. All the Iceberg staff who worked on the job were punctual, reliable, tidy, friendly, professional, trustworthy and very efficient. We were expecting a lot of mess in the house but were pleasantly surprised by the lack of it!

Sati and his team made very helpful suggestions along the way and made the whole process extremely painless. The work was originally quoted to take 4 weeks, but was completed ahead of schedule (including painting, electrical work and some plumbing) which was a huge bonus.

We are really happy with the tanking job that they did and highly recommend Iceberg.

Repair previously damaged water proofing system

“I have a basement property in Leamington Spa. Having moved in knowing there were issues with the property I intended to carry out a renovation. They tackled the issues I had professionally and scientifically. They were the only firm that measured the problem with specialist equipment. They carried out initial surveys which found various underlying issues that had not be found by others. I instantly knew that they were the main contenders because of their method of investigation, arriving 3 time to confirm their method of solution. Where I had other quotes, who offered to effectively patch up, the problem areas,
The work carried out completely renovated my basement property, they were, punctual, tidy, friendly and accommodating. They especially took interest in walking me through each section of development and explained their thought process, as to why they had reached specific conclusions. I am extremely happy with the work that has been carried out, and they are also confident with the jobs they take on by offering longer guarantees than others. I am in no doubt that I had the best choice for basement renovations and would not hesitate in using them again.”

1 room conversion

Our basement was cold wet and unusable. It has been transformed into a warm dry bedroom for my son. We are extremely happy with the results and would recommend them to anyone. They were very professional making sure there was minimum disruption to us whilst the work went on. They also took care of all aspects of the job including building regs and the work was carried out to a very high standard. Thanks guys.

1 room (bedroom accommodation)

The conversion helped us create an extra bedroom to maximise our rental return. The whole project was managed from start to finish within our specified budget and time frames. All work was carried out to a very high standard.

Excavating to create a new room

“We were confident in our selection from the start; they were clearly experts in basement conversions and explained everything to us clearly throughout the process – including those elements which popped up through the build. They were happy to meet with us at our convenience and we appreciated the regular catch-ups and joint decision-making. The team worked hard on all aspects of the excavation, tanking and re-fitting, ultimately creating a great office and family room from what started off as a small, dark chamber and an enclosed void. They brought in a great team to finish the project off, including external works to create a new front garden, with all working to a high standard. We’re delighted with the final results.”

1 room with en-suite, requiring underpinning and new railings

We looked at a number of builders to convert our basement into living space. But you were clearly the most expert and we valued your specialist knowledge throughout the conversion. The final product now my daughter’s bedroom with ensuite, exceeded our expectations for quality Thank you

1 room with en-suite

The boys have done a fantastic job converting our cellar from a damp, dark chamber to a light, spacious, comfortable, en suite double bedroom. From start to finish the level of customer service from the team was excellent and nothing was ever to much trouble. Time and again they put themselves out at inconvenient times to meet with us and discuss the progress of what was a challenging project and how we could move it forward to best suit our needs. The quality of work throughout was of the highest order and the finished product top class. To find tradesman so trustworthy, personable and professional is worth it’s weight in gold in today’s day and age and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone. I certainly intend to use them again in the future.

3 chambers converted to open plan living space

We had a cellar conversion on our period town house in central Warwick. There were two existing cellars separated by a large void that was filled with rubble. The requirements of the project were to join the two cellars to produce a large habitable area to be used as a home cinema and study. The work to be carried out included considerable excavation, structural alterations, and complete damp proofing. A detail specification for the work describing every stage was produced, along with a corresponding payment schedule. All the work was carried out on time and within the specified budget. The staff were polite and courteous and preformed the work with minimal disruption which was particularly important as the property was in the conservation area and had other properties within very close proximity. The work was carried out to a very high standard with any problems that were encountered being resolved with minimal issue. Their ownership of every part of the project and their “can do” attitude completely de-stressed the project for us and delivered a fantastic additional living space to our home.
