Basements can quickly become the heart of the home. Filled with games, relaxing rooms, home theatres, and more, basements are where memories that last a lifetime are created. Unfortunately, basements are also located underground and therefore subject to leaks.
Why Do I Need My Basement Waterproofed?
Is your basement requiring waterproofing? No problem! Basement waterproofing is a relatively standard process that eliminates structural issues in the future. When water volume builds up around a foundation wall, it increases the hydrostatic pressure. This means that there is more pressure on the foundation which results in water passing through small cracks in the foundation wall. This pressure can cause the cracks to grow more if they are not professionally fixed. The more that cracks expand, the more water enters the home and therefore the more mold, mildew, and structural damage that occurs. It is, therefore, important to waterproof your basement from experts early before things get out of hand!
What is Basement Waterproofing?
Basement waterproofing involves fixing the crack that is causing water to enter your basement. A team of experts will locate the crack, excavate the ground around it, and clean and repair the cracked foundation wall. The repair is completed using a rubberized membrane combined with fiberglass mesh to ensure that the crack is filled and the leak is eliminated. After this initial step is complete the team will follow a list of additional steps to properly backfill the soil around the foundation wall.
