NOVALTA BUILD
Basement & Waterproofing Specialists
At Novalta Build, we specialise in basement construction and basement waterproofing. Below-ground work demands experience, careful planning, and attention to detail — and this is where our focus lies.
​
Basements are not standard building projects. Done properly, there are no shortcuts.
Why We Specialise in Basements
We chose to focus on basement waterproofing because we’ve seen how many property owners struggle to find contractors who truly understand the process.
We’ve worked with clients who experienced multiple failed attempts before coming to us. While there are reliable companies in the industry, there are also many who don’t fully understand how basement waterproofing works as a complete system.
Basements don’t have to be a problem.
With the right approach, they can be dry, warm, and valuable spaces.
Our Expertise
1. External Basement Waterproofing – Full System
Basement waterproofing only works when it is treated as a complete system.
For that reason, we do not offer partial or internal-only solutions.
Our waterproofing service includes:
-
Careful excavation around the basement walls
-
Cleaning and preparing the existing structure
-
Installation of suitable external insulation
-
Application of a fully bonded external waterproofing membrane
-
Installation of perimeter drainage systems
-
Controlled backfilling to protect the system
This approach ensures that water is managed before it enters the structure, rather than dealing with it once it’s already inside.
2. Basement Construction & Structural Works
Alongside waterproofing, we carry out basement construction and structural works, allowing us to deliver complete below-ground projects.
This includes:
-
New basement construction
-
Basement extensions
-
Structural alterations and underpinning
-
Concrete and retaining wall works
By combining structure and waterproofing under one contractor, we remove risk and ensure accountability.
Why Choose Us?
No Shortcuts Below Ground
A well-built basement starts long before finishes are installed.
From the choice of concrete, to external waterproofing membranes, proper insulation, and effective drainage, every element must be considered and installed correctly.
Basements must be insulated.
The belief that the ground provides insulation is a myth. Without proper insulation, basements become cold, damp, and uncomfortable.
Drainage is equally important. Systems must be designed to manage water effectively and allow future access for inspection and maintenance.
Waterproofing Must Be Done Right – First Time
Basement waterproofing leaves no room for error.
Mistakes in above-ground construction are often visible and easier to repair. Below ground, this is rarely the case. Once a basement is built and backfilled, problems are difficult — and costly — to fix.
That’s why basement waterproofing must be done right the first time, with:
-
no cutting corners
-
no rushed decisions
-
no assumptions
Only proven systems and careful workmanship.
