Structural Waterproofing and Ground Gas Solutions
We offer a full range of solutions, from traditional methods to the most advanced systems in the industry. These include cementitious waterproofing, cavity wall and floor membranes, and comprehensive sump pump installations, along with ground gas protection systems to safeguard against gases such as radon, carbon dioxide and methane, where necessary.
Don’t Move – Improve!
Utilising below ground areas is a great way to maximise your space without all the hassle and expense of moving home, but even if basement walls appear dry, they are in constant contact with surrounding earth, so with ever changing and unpredictable levels of ground water will always require treatment before the space can be safely used as a habitable room. Our tailored waterproofing solutions and expert installations deliver long lasting protection and complete peace of mind.

Why Choose PRESERVA for below ground waterproofing?

As approved installers of all major waterproofing systems including Delta, Newton & Wykamol, we combine industry leading products with proven techniques to deliver outstanding results on every project.
Whether you’re converting an existing cellar into a dry, comfortable living space or seeking a solution for a new build, commercial building or even a car park, you can rely on our professional team for quality service and workmanship.
What is Our Waterproofing Process
At PRESERVA, we ensure that every basement waterproofing solution begins with a detailed assessment of the property in Derby, UK. Our specialists evaluate the structure, surrounding ground conditions, and any signs of water ingress to determine the most suitable approach. This initial inspection allows us to identify the source of moisture and design a system that addresses the issue effectively rather than simply covering the symptoms. During this process, we also identify potential timber concerns, recommending woodworm treatment when required to ensure both the structure and its contents remain fully protected.
Once the assessment is complete, we recommend a tailored professional below ground waterproofing system suited to the building’s structure and intended use of the space. Depending on the conditions, this may involve cavity drainage membranes, sump pump systems, drainage channels, or cementitious waterproof coatings. Each component works together to safely manage water and prevent it from entering internal areas. During installation, our team carefully prepares surfaces and installs the selected system to industry standards, ensuring reliable long-term protection for your basement or cellar.
Waterproof Today – Prevent Problems Tomorrow
Taking early action with a reliable basement waterproofing solution helps prevent costly problems from damp and water intrusion. Moisture in below-ground spaces can weaken structural materials, create unhealthy conditions, and limit the usability of cellars or basements. By installing waterproofing, water is guided safely away from internal areas, reducing the risk of mould, odours, and long-term damage. Our approach is proven across multiple properties, and you can explore examples in our recent projects to see the quality and effectiveness of our work firsthand. Investing in waterproofing early ensures dry, safe, and usable spaces while protecting the value and integrity of your property for years to come.
