How Beneficial is Basement Waterproofing & Sump Pump Services?

• Protection from Water Damage: This is the most crucial benefit. Waterproofing and sump pumps work together to prevent water from entering your basement through leaks, cracks, or seepage, which can be devastating and expensive to repair. 
• Prevents Mold Growth: Damp and humid basements create mold and mildew, which creates respiratory and other health problems. Waterproofing and sump pumps keep moisture levels low, preventing mold growth and building a healthier environment in your home.
• Maintains Foundation Integrity: Waterproofing helps prevent this by directing water away from the foundation, protecting its structural integrity, and potentially saving you money on future repairs.
• Lowers Energy Bills: Waterproofing helps keep your basement dry, which can improve the efficiency of your HVAC system and potentially lower your energy costs.
• Increases Home Value: A dry, waterproofed basement increases usable living space and demonstrates to potential buyers that the basement is well-maintained and protected from water damage.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing your basement is protected from water damage gives you peace of mind. You won't have to worry about potential flooding or the associated problems.

All the benefits are obtainable through dehumidification, leaking crack repair, installation of the drainage systems, and installation, repair, and maintenance of the sump pump offered by the BBB-accredited company.

Our Basement Waterproofing Process

Basement waterproofing involves various techniques to prevent water from entering your basement through the foundation, walls, or floors. Here's a detailed guide on the steps involved in waterproofing a basement:

• Inspection and Assessment: We use moisture meters to detect hidden dampness in walls and floors or identify visible signs of water damage, such as damp spots, stains, mold, cracks, gaps, structural weaknesses, grading around the house, gutters, and downspouts. 
• Interior Waterproofing: A trench is dug around the perimeter of the basement floor. At the trench's lowest point, a sump pump pit collects water. A perforated drain pipe is laid in the trench and slopes toward the sump pump pit. Sometimes, a water drainage mat may be installed along the foundation walls to help direct water toward the drain pipe. A sump pump is placed in the pit and connected to the drain pipe. Any cracks in the basement walls are repaired using hydraulic cement or epoxy to prevent leaks. A waterproofing sealant can be applied to the interior basement walls for additional protection.
• Exterior Basement Waterproofing: The soil around the foundation is excavated to expose the walls. The foundation walls are thoroughly cleaned and inspected for cracks or defects. Any cracks in the foundation walls are repaired using hydraulic cement or epoxy. A waterproofing membrane, such as a liquid asphalt or rubberized coating, is applied to the exterior foundation walls. A drainage system with pipes and gravel may sometimes be installed around the foundation to collect and divert water from the basement. The excavated soil is replaced and compacted around the foundation.
• Additional Measures: We install dehumidifiers, vents, or exhaust fans to improve air circulation, reduce humidity, and prevent mold growth.
