What a basement waterproofing lead shows you
Every {lower} request answers these questions before it reaches you. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer calls for them.
For water and damp problems, homeowners say when it happens: after heavy rain or snowmelt, all the time, or once. They also say whether the basement is finished, which affects how much has to come out before you can start.

The guide homeowners get on this site
We publish a basement waterproofing guide for homeowners. It is written for them, not for us, and its headings are a fair list of what someone who has read it will ask you about.
What the guide covers
- Rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation are three different problems
- BS 8102 in practice: Type A, Type B and Type C, and grades of dryness
- What a proper waterproofing design involves before anyone digs
- The Party Wall etc. Act 1996: the notice a terraced basement almost always needs
- Signs a basement or cellar has a water problem
- Keeping a drained system working after the contractor leaves
- Groundwater, surface water and flooding around a basement
- Guarantees, the design specialist and what to check before you sign
Questions it answers
- Is BS 8102 a legal requirement?
- Will tanking cure rising damp?
- Do I have to tell my neighbour before basement work starts?
- Do I need planning permission to convert my cellar into a room?
- I rent. Who is responsible for damp and mould?
- How does LokalMatch work for basement waterproofing?

Licensing notes by province
These notes come from our provincial permit guides, which homeowners read before they hire. They summarize official sources and aren’t legal advice.
England
Getting approval matters when you come to sell. GOV.UK warns that without building regulations approval you will not have the certificates of compliance you may need when you want to sell your home, so keep the completion paperwork or the installer's self-certification with your deeds.
Northern Ireland
Ask for the Certificate of Completion at the end of the job. Building Control issues it once it is satisfied that all necessary Building Regulations have been adhered to, and it is the document that shows the work was signed off.

How matching works
Requests are matched by published rules that are the same for every pro.
How we rank and match pros- You receive a request only for services you offer and haven’t excluded, in the areas you serve.
- Your account must be active, with your email address and phone number verified, and you must be accepting new requests within the daily or weekly limits you set.
- Requests reach you only with timings you accept, such as emergencies, and budgets that aren’t clearly outside the range you work in.
- When more pros fit than a lead allows, we give more weight to an exact service match, how directly you cover the area, verification, how quickly you reply and, once you have at least three published reviews, your rating. Never to who pays more.
- Each lead goes to a limited number of pros, and you see that number before you decide.
Invalid leads and refunds
If a lead turns out to be invalid, you can ask for a refund review from your dashboard. We look at each request and let you know the outcome. A lead may qualify when:
- The contact details are wrong or don't work.
- It duplicates a lead you already received.
- It isn't a real request for work.
- It's outside the services or areas you listed.
Verification you’ll need
Before you receive leads, you confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. Business registration, licence and insurance details are optional during sign-up; once our team checks them, your profile shows what was verified and when.
Contact details verified
You confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. This is required before you receive leads.
Business registration checked
Our team reviews the registration details you provide.
Licence and insurance checked
Where your trade calls for a licence or insurance, we review what you provide.
Verification shows which details were checked and when. It isn’t a guarantee of workmanship, and it can’t be bought.

- If you don’t test for radon or asbestos, mark those services as not for you.
- Prevention requests from homeowners about to finish a basement are often less urgent, so flexible timing suits them.
