Professional Structural Waterproofing in London
Total Damp Repair provides professional structural waterproofing services in London for residential, commercial and below-ground structures. Our specialists investigate the source and extent of water ingress before recommending a waterproofing system suited to the structure, its condition and the level of water pressure.
Depending on the property, solutions may include Type A barrier protection, Type C cavity drainage membrane systems, waterproof renders and other specialist measures designed to manage water ingress and protect the building structure long term.
Signs You May Need Structural Waterproofing
Signs can include persistent water ingress, damp or wet walls, staining, deteriorating finishes, moisture affecting below-ground areas, leaks through retaining walls or floors, and recurring damp despite previous repairs. A professional waterproofing survey can help identify the source before remedial work is specified.

Our Structural Waterproofing Process
Professional Waterproofing Survey & Diagnosis
Effective structural waterproofing starts with identifying how and where water is entering the structure. Our specialists assess the affected areas, moisture conditions and construction of the property to determine the source and extent of water ingress.
We then recommend an appropriate structural waterproofing solution based on the property and level of risk, which may include Type A barrier protection, Type C cavity drainage systems or other specialist waterproofing measures.
Specialist Structural Waterproofing Installation
Once the source and extent of water ingress have been identified, we install the most appropriate structural waterproofing system for the property.
Depending on the structure and waterproofing requirements, this may include Type A barrier systems, cementitious tanking or Type C cavity drainage membrane systems designed to manage and protect against groundwater and moisture ingress.
Each waterproofing system is selected according to the construction, condition and intended use of the property.
Long-Term Waterproofing Protection & Completion
Following installation, the structural waterproofing system is carefully checked and the treated area prepared for the appropriate internal finish.
Where a Type C cavity drainage system is installed, membranes, drainage channels and associated components work together to safely manage water ingress. Type A waterproofing systems provide a continuous barrier designed to resist moisture entering through the structure.
Our aim is to deliver a complete structural waterproofing solution that provides reliable, long-term protection for basements, cellars and other below-ground structures.
Common Structural Waterproofing Problems We Identify
At Total Damp Repair, effective structural waterproofing starts with understanding how and where water is entering the structure. Applying a waterproofing system without correctly assessing the source, construction and level of water exposure can lead to future failure.
Our waterproofing specialists assess basements, cellars and other below-ground structures to determine the cause and extent of water ingress before recommending the most appropriate waterproofing solution.
- Basement & Cellar Water Ingress – Water penetrating below-ground walls or floors due to groundwater, defects, cracks or inadequate existing waterproofing.
- Hydrostatic Water Pressure – Groundwater pressure acting against basement walls and floors, potentially forcing moisture through joints, cracks and porous construction materials.
- Failed or Inadequate Waterproofing – Existing tanking, membranes or waterproof coatings that have deteriorated, been incorrectly installed or are no longer providing effective protection.
-
Damp Below-Ground Walls & Floors – Persistent moisture, staining, salts or deterioration affecting basements, cellars and other structures built partially or completely below ground.
Structural Waterproofing Solutions We Provide
Waterproofing Systems for Basements, Cellars & Below-Ground Structures
Type A Barrier Waterproofing
We install Type A barrier waterproofing systems to provide protection against water ingress through below-ground walls and floors. Depending on the structure and site conditions, waterproof tanking systems can be applied internally to create a continuous barrier against groundwater and moisture.
Type C Cavity Drain Membrane Systems
Type C waterproofing systems use cavity drain membranes to manage water entering below-ground structures. Water is controlled behind the membrane and directed towards suitable drainage channels and, where required, a sump and pump system.
Basement & Cellar Waterproofing
We provide basement and cellar waterproofing in London for properties affected by groundwater, damp and water ingress. Our specialists assess the structure before designing an appropriate waterproofing system for the conditions and intended use of the space.
Structural Waterproofing Surveys
Our structural waterproofing surveys assess existing construction, moisture conditions, signs of water ingress and any existing waterproofing system. The findings allow us to recommend an appropriate waterproofing strategy before remedial or installation work begins.
Waterproof Tanking Systems
Waterproof tanking can be used to protect below-ground walls and floors against moisture and water penetration. We prepare the substrate and install appropriate waterproof barrier systems according to the structure, condition and expected level of water exposure.
Waterproofing Repairs & Remediation
Failed, damaged or poorly installed waterproofing can result in recurring water ingress. We investigate existing tanking and cavity drainage systems, identify defects and carry out appropriate repairs or remedial waterproofing to restore effective protection.

1. What is structural waterproofing?
Structural waterproofing is the protection of a building or below-ground structure against water ingress. Depending on the property and level of water exposure, solutions can include Type A barrier systems or Type C cavity drainage membrane systems.
2. What is the best waterproofing system for a basement?
The appropriate basement waterproofing system depends on the construction, condition of the structure and level of water ingress. Type A systems provide a waterproof barrier, while Type C systems manage incoming water using cavity drainage membranes, drainage channels and, where required, a sump and pump system.
3. What is the difference between Type A and Type C waterproofing?
Type A waterproofing uses a barrier applied or bonded to the structure to resist water penetration. Type C waterproofing uses cavity drain membranes to manage water entering the structure and direct it safely towards a drainage point or sump system.
4. How much does structural waterproofing cost in London?
The cost of structural waterproofing varies depending on the size and condition of the area, the level of water ingress and the waterproofing system required. A waterproofing survey allows us to assess the property and provide a quotation based on the appropriate solution.
5. Do you provide structural waterproofing guarantees?
Yes. Qualifying structural waterproofing installations can be covered by a guarantee. The applicable guarantee will depend on the waterproofing system and scope of works installed.
