Benefits in using a specialist contractor

There are several benefits for using a specialist contractor when it comes to flood preventative measures.

For any homeowners who have experienced flooding, it is truly one of the most distressing things that can happen to your home.  The aftermath and recovery not only of your property but your mental health can take weeks/months or even years to rebound from.  Dislocation from homes and disrupted routines are often cited as the major negative personal impacts of flooding.

Waterproofing design – our latest blog looks at technical planning, design and construction whilst covering a overview of project objectives, building materials, systems, and assemblies from many different perspectives.

It is important for homeowners to firstly understand the basics about flooding and the associated risks before turning to products and how these may be of benefit to their homes both before and during a flood event. We believe flood resilient design is not a single solution, concept or perspective. It is an approach to changing the built environment.

Not only do waterproofing systems need to be functional as a water proofer but they should also be able to provide the building with thermal performance, roof drainage, air tightness and vapour control. A green roof construction involves a series of functioning layers that, while retaining the necessary water to support the plants/trees/shrubs will also allow excess water to drain off whilst protecting the roof surface from both roots and mechanical damage.
