Damp proofing tanking is a method of waterproofing that prevents water from penetrating through walls, floors and roofs. It involves applying a waterproof coating or membrane to the surface, which creates a barrier against moisture. Damp proofing tanking is used in basements, cellars and other below-ground structures where dampness and water ingress are common problems. It is also used in above-ground areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, to prevent moisture from penetrating through walls and causing damage.
Damp proofing tanking products come in a variety of forms, including liquid coatings, sheet membranes, and cementitious slurries. They are easy to apply and provide long-lasting protection against water damage.
