Advantages of Basement Waterproofing

Basement waterproofing provides essential protection against water damage, mold growth, and structural issues, enhancing property value and indoor air quality. It also expands usable space and contributes to energy efficiency, ensuring a safer and healthier home environment.

  • Protection Against Water Damage: Waterproofing prevents water from seeping into your basement, safeguarding your property from potential water damage, including structural issues, mold growth, and deterioration of belongings.
  • Enhanced Property Value: A waterproofed basement increases the overall value of your home by providing a dry, usable space. Potential buyers are attracted to homes with waterproofed basements due to the added protection and functionality they offer.
  • Improved Indoor Air Quality: Waterproofing helps to mitigate moisture buildup, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth. This leads to better indoor air quality, promoting a healthier environment for you and your family.
  • Extended Structural Lifespan: By keeping moisture out, basement waterproofing helps to maintain the integrity of your home’s foundation and structural components. This can extend the lifespan of your property and minimize the need for costly repairs in the future.

Basement Waterproofing Methods

Basement waterproofing is crucial for protecting your home from water damage and mold growth. Several methods are commonly used to achieve this. These include interior sealants, which are applied to basement walls to prevent moisture penetration, exterior waterproofing membranes that create a barrier against water infiltration, and drainage systems like French drains to divert water away from the foundation. Properly implemented, these methods can ensure a dry and safe basement environment.

Interior Sealants

Interior Sealants

Interior sealants are applied inside basement walls and floors to prevent water seepage caused by cracks, gaps, or porous concrete. They create a barrier against water intrusion but are limited to handling minor water damage without addressing the root causes of moisture issues.
Foundation Crack Injections

Foundation Crack Injections

Foundation crack injections repair cracks in foundation walls internally using liquid polyurethane or epoxy to create a waterproof barrier against water seepage. Ideal for smaller cracks without structural risks, this quick method may not resolve underlying causes or larger cracks that demand more extensive repairs.
Interior Basement Waterproofing

Interior Basement Waterproofing

Interior basement waterproofing manages condensation-caused wetness by funneling water from walls or floors to a drainage system. The system, including a sump pump in a pit, removes water from the basement automatically when levels rise, directing it away from the foundation.
Exterior Basement Waterproofing

Exterior Basement Waterproofing

Exterior basement waterproofing is crucial due to water seeping from the foundation walls. It involves excavating around the foundation and applying a waterproof coating which is effective in preserving building integrity. Despite being costly and disruptive with excavation and potential repairs, it remains the most reliable long-term solution for preventing water infiltration in basements.

Prepare Before Waterproofing Your Basement

Before starting, ensure the basement is dry to prevent electrical shock risks from standing water. Remove moisture by pumping, clearing damp materials, and using fans and dehumidifiers to avoid trapping moisture and further damage.

Clean your dry basement. If mold lingers, use antifungal cleaner or diluted bleach on floors and walls while wearing protective gear. Efflorescence, a mineral residue from water, can usually be removed by scrubbing with a wire brush. Tough cases might need muriatic acid but handle with care. Remove old paint for concrete sealers to stick well.
