Unique in Flanders: have your basement poured with ceramic tiles
When soil moisture enters your basement, problems such as a damp basement floor, damp basement walls, musty odours and fungi. You obviously want to avoid this. One possible solution to this is basement waterproofing. Where basement waterproofing previously only possible with concrete, AquaConsult offers a unique alternative: covering your basement with ceramic tiles. Read all about it here.
What is basement cupping?
In many basements, the basement walls and floor are not sufficiently resistant to the pressure of groundwater. This causes salts to form in the walls, which then affect the plaster present. In this way, ground moisture can enter your basement through the basement walls and/or floor, which can have negative consequences. To combat this, you can have your basement drained.
Basement waterproofing or cellar sealing involves applying a thick layer of waterproof cement to the basement floor and walls. This creates a new protective layer, as it were, that prevents groundwater from penetrating. Specifically, such basement waterproofing works as follows:
After performing (or having performed) these steps, water will no longer enter your basement.
Please note: Every situation is unique. In some cases, a basement pit is not sufficient, and a basement drainage or -ventilation needed. Get assistance from AquaConsult and request a free expertise to ensure you make the best choice for your basement.
Pair the practical with the pleasant: have your basement poured with a tile finish
Traditionally, basement waterproofing is done exclusively with a waterproof layer of concrete. But, you can also go a step further and have your basement waterproofed with rectified ceramic tiles. AquaConsult is unique in this, and there are several advantages:
1. Less loss of space
A basement casing is always accompanied by some loss of space. Typically, such loss with a traditional casing is about 8 cm, but with a tile finish this loss is reduced to about 5 cm.
2. Complete and beautiful finish
This basement sealing method automatically creates a nicer-looking basement that is also fully finished immediately.
3. Cheaper
Basement waterproofing with ceramic tiles also comes with a more interesting price tag than basement waterproofing with concrete. Basement waterproofing actually involves renovating the entire basement, which is obviously not cheap. However, with this unique process, the sealed cellar is also immediately finished with rectified 60 × 60 cm ceramic tiles, saving you in finishing costs. In addition, fewer materials are also needed to keep your basement dry, which benefits your wallet.
