Hurricane Season Is Coming: Is Your Basement Ready for All the Rain?
Hurricanes and rainy season can impact the exterior and interior of homes. While the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware tri-state area isn’t a hotbed for hurricanes, hurricane season does create excessive rain for its residents. This can cause the intrusion of water into basements, which can cost homeowners unnecessary money and stress. At Dry Tech Waterproofing Solutions, we have a team of experts with years of basement waterproofing experience. Learn more about how this service can help prevent flooding and damage during rainy seasons.
How Do Hurricanes Affect Those in the Northeast?
While historically hurricanes have been unlikely to make landfall in the Northeast, the rise in ocean temperatures due to climate change has led scientists to believe this could change in the future. Even still, the impact of tropical storms on the area is undeniable. They bring high winds and heavy rainfall, which can cause significant damage to area properties.
Hurricane season in the PA, NJ, and DE tri-state area starts on June 1st and runs through November 30th. That means that for six months, homes in the area can be damaged by the heavy rain that hurricanes bring. This can result in water intrusion, yard drainage issues, and even a flooded basement. Cracks in a home’s foundation, poor grading or drainage issues in yards, hydrostatic pressure due to saturated soil, or any combination of these factors can let water in. If your basement isn’t effectively waterproofed, you could be looking at water intrusion and its effects. These effects include damage to living and storage spaces and belongings, mold growth, and decreased structural integrity of your home’s foundation.
How Our Services Help Limit the Effects
One of the smartest things you can do to avoid basement water damage is to prevent it in the first place. Because of all the damage hurricane season can cause homeowners in the Northeast, winter and spring are great times to have your property looked at by a professional. This allows them to assess your space, identify problems, and implement a fix before June. At Dry Tech Waterproofing Solutions, we have highly trained and knowledgeable experts who know how important it is for you to keep water out of your home. That’s why we use the most advanced tools and technology and are skilled in tried-and-true waterproofing services.
Exterior Waterproofing
Our exterior basement waterproofing services are designed to focus on your outer foundation and the surrounding soil. Our technicians will head to your home to diagnose the problem using a percolation test. We have the tools and equipment to excavate your soil and install a new drainage system, allowing water to flow far away from your foundation. When we’re done, we will replace the excavated soil to leave everything looking great again.
Interior Waterproofing
Our interior basement waterproofing services require our team to enter your basement and look it over to identify any areas of concern. This includes cracks in your foundation, leakage from window wells and plumbing fixtures, and other common problems. Our experts will come prepared, using sealant to take care of cracks and leaks. We can recommend options such as a vapor barrier or sump pump installation. Our team is also well-trained in sump pump maintenance and repairs if your current unit needs to be examined.
Mold Remediation
For areas that have mold or mildew from water damage, our mold remediation services can help protect your home and your family. Mold may not always be the easiest to identify, so it’s smart to call on professionals. We’ll send out our mold removal experts to eliminate the mold in your space safely and effectively. We will also find the source of the mold to help prevent it from appearing again.
