Structural dampness is an unwanted presence of moisture in a building’s structure, which may be the result of water infiltration from outside or condensation within.
The significance of a cavity drain membrane in basement waterproofing cannot be overstated; it is the most reliable defence against moisture from soil. For instance, rising damp can damage the lower part of walls and disrupt their stability and look. Brighton Damp Treatments offers a dependable, comprehensive answer to this issue. Both condensation and water penetration are affected by what’s going on around them. In many cases, these two factors lead to dampness in buildings.
Evaporation-limited capillary penetration is independent of the mechanisms causing structural dampening. As humidity levels rise, so does structural damp. The shape and porosity of construction materials through which this evaporation-constrained capillary penetration occurs are determined by their shape and porosity.
Structural dampness can be damaging to a building’s construction and stability, particularly if wood is present or there is a basement/cellar. Cavity drain membrane systems are an effective way of dealing with such issues. If you’re worried about wetness, contact our experts at **XX** for advice on the best approach to take; we offer comprehensive damp and timber surveys with cost-effective solutions.
Dampness can lead to additional damage to a building. Excessive moisture encourages the growth of fungi in wood, resulting in rotting, moulding and sick building syndrome. Rising damp is caused by wallpaper loosening due to deteriorating plaster and paint triggered by an inadequate damp proof course, for instance. Staining from water, salts and mildew can cause havoc on surfaces. Buildings with a substantial mould infestation usually due to significant water infiltration or flooding will have higher airborne mould concentrations. Moulds may develop on almost any surface and thrive in highly moist surroundings like leaking roofs or high humidity levels; thus making basement waterproofing essential.
Waterproofing makes an object or structure impermeable to water, enabling it to remain relatively unaffected by water and resist the infiltration of water under certain conditions.
In accordance with BS8102:2009, waterproofing of the structure must be designed to ensure a dry environment in both refurbishments and new builds.
Structural waterproofing prevents humidity from causing harm to the building’s structure, protecting it from deterioration and preserving its stability.
The efficacy of treating basements or cellars with cavity drain membranes is especially vital, due to their vulnerability to humidity and dampness. Thus, these underground structures often require such a solution.
Structural damp proofing, as part of a comprehensive approach to preserving walls, ceilings and floors, can extend the life of a building and improve its users’ quality of living.
Using the right approach, waterproofing methods can sustain or reinstate the structural soundness of buildings and adjacent structures.

Brighton Damp Treatments offer three distinct forms of structural waterproofing protection.
The structure will probably be constructed of concrete or masonry and its design will not offer much protection from water infiltration. Therefore, the primary defence against moisture penetration is a protective system applied to the outside or inside of the building and suitable ground drainage if necessary.
Type A systems are suitable for use on wet surfaces and offer resistance to hydrostatic back pressure.
This multi-coat waterproofing method is applied to walls, floors and soffits with several intermediate layers. The system will create a physical blockage that prevents the area from becoming wet when used.
Construction, expansion and connection joints are fitted with a Hypalon Strip sealed by epoxy resin to enable significant movement.
Depending on the grade of basement used, reinforced or pre-stressed concrete structures are designed and built to Eurocode 2, BS EN 8500 (to reduce water penetration); BS 8102 or BS 8007 (to thwart water penetration).
Brighton Damp Treatments boasts a broad selection of items, brands, and products. Every damp proofing scenario has its own specific demands and restrictions, leading to an extensive variety of timber damage treatments and damp proofing repairs.
