  2. What Is Cellar Tanking? • Cellar tanking (also known as Basement tanking) is the term used for the process of applying a waterproof layer that acts as a coating on the walls and floor of a cellar or basement. This waterproof layer acts as a water repellant that completely waterproofs your cellar, allowing it to remain dry when exposed to wet and moist conditions.

  3. Why should you get Cellar Tanking? • Cellar Tanking is a very important process that you should consider if you are thinking about investing in a basement conversion. It is extremely common to experience damp conditions in the basement/cellar of your home, especially in the seasons of the year where rain and the heavy downpour is common. • The process on how to get rid of damp on the walls is a long and tedious one, which is why it is heavily recommended that you get cellar tanking as soon as possible. Tanking a Cellar acts as treatment, and a repellant for damp conditions, which is great if you have planned on using those areas of your home for practical reasons.

  4. How does Cellar tanking work? • There are multiple methods you can pursue when it comes to waterproofing a basement. The two options that are most common involve using a cavity drainage system, and basement tanking (also known as Cellar tanking). The method that we are going to explore in this post will be that of Cellar tanking. • The aim of cellar tanking is to keep the basement or cellar as dry as possible but not allowing any moisture in from the outside. It also helps the cellar walls and floor remain warm enough to minimise any form of condensation, which will cause moisture to form on the inside of the basement. • Basement tanking is known to be a prefered option compared to using a cavity drainage system when it comes to waterproofing a cellar. This is because it completely prevents water from entering, rather than just transporting the water to a different location.
