BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
Safeguard your home against flooding and water damage with expert waterproofing to ensure a dry, mold-free basement.
If caught and treated early, homeowners can minimize damage from water seepage. Knowing when to call a basement waterproofing company is key to preventing serious damage to your home. Contact us for an inspection:
- If you notice water in your basement or signs of mold/mildew growth.
- When cracks or leaks are visible in foundation walls.
- During the rainy season to be proactive and inspect and improve drainage systems.
- If you are planning to finish your basement to ensure it is properly waterproofed before any remodeling begins.
We fix leaky basements the right way, working from the outside to re-channel the water away from the home instead of just patching the walls from the inside—as the best way is to prevent the water from penetrating your walls to begin with.
We begin the repair process by excavating your leaky wall all the way to the footer. Then wash your foundation to clean the debris and highlight any cracks where moisture may be entering. Those cracks are patched and sealed with Waterplug Sealant, and for added protection, we coat the end wall from the footer to grade with Thoroseal Sealant. The final step is rolling tar rubber emulsion from footer to grade to prevent moisture from entering your wall.
And for proper water drainage, we install four-inch heavy-duty perforated PVC along the footer. Then the excavation is backfilled with No. 57 premium wash gravel to direct water to the drain tile.
