London Basement Drying and Structural Drying Services

  • Basement dampness can be deceptive, as damage often isn’t immediately visible but can lead to significant long-term structural and aesthetic issues.
  • Ideally, basement humidity levels should be maintained between 30–50%.
  • A basement flood or high humidity can result in structural deterioration, mould and mildew growth, musty odours, creaking wood floors, and damage to personal belongings.
  • Prompt professional drying and restoration is essential to prevent further harm.

London Water Damage Restoration provides fast, efficient basement drying services across London to tackle these problems effectively.

Symptoms of rising dampness and the need for structural drying in your property include:

  • Standing pools of water in your basement
  • Peeling paint, musty odours, rusty metal fixtures – even without any visible water
  • Walls with damp spots
  • Water stains or white, powdery residue on walls
  • Water in a finished basement, stains on the base of panelling or wall board
  • Leaks originating directly from the wall and above floor level (burst main)
  • Puddles, trickles or small streams of water on floors, walls or ceilings
  • Water coming up through cracks in the floor or walls

Here are
several effective methods to dry out a basement:

Use a dehumidifier: This device reduces humidity levels, helping to dry out the space.

Ventilate the area: Open windows and doors, and use fans to circulate air throughout the basement.

Increase the temperature: Warmer air reduces moisture buildup by preventing condensation on cooler surfaces.

Relocate water-damaged items: Move any flood-affected belongings to a dry, well-ventilated space to prevent further damage.

Insulate pipes: Properly insulating pipes can reduce condensation and minimize drips.

Waterproof the exterior: Sealing the outside of your home prevents moisture, stains, mould, and mildew from penetrating the basement.

Maintain gutters and downpipes: Ensure they are clear to direct rainwater away from your foundation.

Install a sump pump: A sump pump efficiently removes excess water, keeping the basement dry.

  • Use a dehumidifier to control moisture levels
  • Direct water away from your home’s foundation

Our basement was flooded with 3 feet of water. Gordon dedicated his time and effort and fixed all. We are now using the basement as hang out area. Thanks a lot.

We had a leak in the basement a month ago and I called these guys to clean the carpet. They were so helpful, nice and fast. I would highly recommend them.
Brian Harrison
There was a great flood in my garage. I had to use some help and decided to call those guys. And they were great! They came with a giant airmover which made the walls dry extremely fast. And all that in a couple of hours! I will definitely use their services again!
