Commissioned to create additional habitable space
The Brief:
Our clients, Mr and Mrs Johnson, wanted to create additional habitable space in their basement in order to add a Basement TV Room, Basement Services room, Basement Study. Their property consisted of a large period semi-detached house in Wilmslow Cheshire.
They commissioned Pure Basement Systems to design and install a waterproofing system which would remediate their damp issues and water ingress resulting in a dry basement. The basement had unsuccessfully tanked previously. After the basement waterproofing system was complete Pure Basement Systems completed a full fit-out.
Result:
Working in partnership with Mr and Mrs Johnson, Pure Basement Systems specified a structural waterproofing package to combat the damp. We installed a high performance waterproofing system, complete with a twin sump pump station, perimeter drainage channels and sealed floor and wall cavity drainage membrane. High quality insulation was installed to compliment the waterproofing system and full plastering completed the basement conversion. The basement received a full fit out.
The completed project added significant additional dry light warm basement space that Mr and Mrs Johnson required, improved the internal air quality and also added value to the property.
