Why Is Exterior Basement Waterproofing Helpful?
Exterior basement waterproofing is essential to protect your home from water and moisture, better ensure its structural stability, and safeguard your family’s health. Because this procedure helps prevent the buildup of water in a basement, it can yield advantages such as:
Increase Property Stability and Structural Integrity
Water and moisture buildup in basement walls will create and exacerbate wall cracks, potentially leading to deteriorated floors and ceilings. These weakened foundations can quickly cascade upward, causing higher floors and walls to warp and slope. Preventing water and organic materials from seeping into basements can act to stop this domino effect of damage, preserving the home’s structural integrity and helping it last longer.
Save Money in Long Run
Basement flooding and moisture in a home’s foundation can cause major structural damage and force homeowners to make a foundation repair or hire drainage services. These are emergency, restorative measures that homeowners are forced to pay to save their homes from further ruin. In contrast, exterior basement waterproofing is a preventative investment that allows you to get ahead of moisture and mildew issues. Taking this proactive step can help increase a property’s resale value. At Dry Tech Waterproofing Solutions, we include an unlimited transferrable warranty with our services, making your home even more attractive to potential buyers.
Prevent Health Issues
A flooded basement, even once drained and cleaned, can lock moisture in the walls, enabling mold and mildew to quickly develop. Molds can be detrimental to human health, causing allergic reactions, asthma, wheezing, shortness of breath, and even lung infection. Exterior basement waterproofing blocks moisture from entering a home’s foundation. This helps prevent the development of mold and mildew, helping to protect your family’s health and well-being.
Add Space and Protect Belongings
Mold and mildew can destroy any belongings stored in your basement. Exterior waterproofing, however, can increase your home’s usable space and protect your home and belongings from water damage. In addition, if you want to comfortably use the basement to entertain or host guests, waterproofing becomes essential.
Ensure Peace of Mind
Waterproofing a basement can preserve a home’s foundation, keeping it dry and protected from floods, seepage, mold, and cracks. These benefits provide a level of peace of mind not available with many other home investments.
No matter whether your foundation is constructed of poured concrete or masonry brick walls, exterior waterproofing is a highly effective way to increase your home’s stability, comfort level, value, and living space.
What Does Exterior Basement Waterproofing Entail?
- Excavate the soil surrounding your home’s basement walls
- Thoroughly clean the foundation walls, using industrial-grade sanitizers and scrapers
- Fill any cracks, fissures, or voids in the walls and flooring with hydraulic cement or epoxy
- Apply Carlisle Coatings & Waterproofing membrane around the entire foundation surface
- Install a drainage system at the footer to direct water to a sump pump and telescope crock, away from the home
- Replace the excavated soil, filling in the area around the foundation’s exterior
