If you’ve noticed damp patches, flaking paint, or a musty smell coming from your basement or cellar in Wrexham, it’s time to consider professional tanking and waterproof plastering. These solutions are essential for turning unusable spaces into dry, safe, and habitable rooms — especially in older Welsh properties.
At Weather Wise Solutions, we provide expert cellar tanking and plastering services across Wrexham, using trusted methods and products like PAM Ties Basement Waterproofing Systems to ensure lasting protection from water ingress and condensation.
🧱 Why Cellar Walls Become Damp
Wrexham has a mix of period homes and converted buildings, many of which were not designed to resist modern water table levels or internal humidity. As a result, cellar walls often suffer from:
-
Groundwater seepage through brick or stone
-
Capillary action drawing moisture up from below
-
Poor ventilation causing condensation on cold surfaces
-
Failed or non-existent damp proofing
If left untreated, this leads to black mould, structural damage, and even health risks due to persistent damp conditions.
💧 What Is Tanking?
Tanking is the process of applying a waterproof barrier directly to the inside of cellar walls and floors. It prevents moisture from entering the space by creating a physical seal — ideal for below-ground areas in Wrexham properties.
At Weather Wise Solutions, we often recommend cementitious tanking systems or cavity drainage membranes, depending on the condition and intended use of the cellar.
