Have you tried to waterproof your basement in the past with only limited success? Since many waterproofing products available at home improvement stores aren’t of the best quality, you may have better success by having it professionally installed. With waterproofing, comes many questions and concerns of homeowners. Read below to see some commonly asked questions before deciding what is the best way to waterproof your home or building.
How can I waterproof my basement?
Most at-home waterproofing methods are not as effective and at the best quality. It is important to contact a professional to install a waterproofing method in order to get the most success. We offer a French Drain System which gets installed in a trench 6” below the basement floor. A vinyl barrier is then attached to the base of the foundation. It is intended to divert any and all water leakage into the drainage system, allowing your basement to be completely waterproofed. Click here to learn more about our B-dry systems!
How long does waterproofing last?
Most waterproofing methods can have up to ten years of protection. Faulty or improper installation of waterproofing can cause the lifespan to vary, but with a good company comes a good warranty. View our lifetime warranty here to learn more.
What is the process for waterproofing?
The process of waterproofing is inserting an object or structure that is fully water-resistant so that it can help prevent water from entering our homes. This waterproofing object or structure remains completely unaffected by any sort of water or leakage in order for it to do its job properly. Waterproofing can be done on both the interior and/or exterior. Exterior waterproofing can be more expensive as it involves installing a French Drain or drainage tile. While interior waterproofing involves lining the interior walls of your home with a special solution. In some instances, both interior and exterior waterproofing is needed for homes.
What benefits come out of waterproofing your basement?
Waterproofing your basement extends the overall value of your home. Having any sort of leakage, dampness or moisture can start to take a toll on your home and decrease the value as well as ruin your interior walls and flooring.
