Basement Waterproofing & Dehumidification
A damp and humid basement smells not only musty but also causes numerous problems, including mold growth and weakening of structural integrity. Our basement dehumidification services prevent these issues by maintaining a dry and healthy environment. We install top-quality, energy-efficient dehumidifiers to effectively control humidity levels and prevent moisture-related issues in your basement. Additionally, we offer interior and exterior waterproofing methods designed to keep your basement dry and secure. Our team of professionals will assess your basement’s unique needs and install an effective, customized waterproofing system to keep your basement dry and structurally sound.
Interior Basement Waterproofing
Leaks in your basement are a warning sign of foundation issues. Our team can easily locate the water’s source. After that, we will install a waterproofing system that will manage the leak. We waterproof the interior walls of your basement to keep it dry. Some of the techniques we use to waterproof your interior basement are:
- SafeEdge™ Basement Waterproofing: We address water issues in the basement floors, walls, and cover joints by using this water control solution. A rubber seal in every SafeEdge water control system lets water into the system while shielding the interior of the house from harmful soil gases (radon).
- SafeDrain™ Basement Waterproofing: Our SafeDrain system has a broader, low-profile design. The SafeDrain system reduces hydrostatic pressure brought on by poor soil conditions from the time your home was built while simultaneously facilitating sufficient water flow.
- Basement Sump Pump Installation and Replacement: A dependable sump pump is one of the most crucial components of any basement waterproofing system. Its only job is to remove excess water from your basement. Our team of experts ensures your sump pump is properly installed, shielding your house from mold growth and water damage.
- SafeBasements™ Multi-Flow Drain Tile: We lay this tile all the way around the footer so that it can take on water in slow stages. You can stop hydrostatic pressure from producing slab cracks beneath your house by keeping the water flowing at a constant pace.
- Basement Dehumidifiers: In order to get rid of the musty smell, stop mold development, and automatically maintain and manage the optimal indoor relative humidity (RH) level, we provide and install different types, sizes, and capacities of basement dehumidifiers.
Exterior Basement Waterproofing
External basement waterproofing solutions are often implemented either after the excavation of the surrounding ground or during the home’s construction. Our solutions for exterior basement waterproofing in Central Maryland involve installing a waterproof membrane around your home’s foundation to stop water from seeping into any cracks.
Drainage Basement Waterproofing
Our staff is skilled in locating and fixing drainage problems, making sure that extra water is efficiently diverted away from your house. We install French drains or other external drainage systems. It’s a gravel-filled trench system with perforated pipework that lets water naturally escape from below the ground. We redirect the extra water from the surface with this technique.
Mold Remediation
Mold can grow significantly anywhere in just 24 to 72 hours if there’s enough moisture. They can grow in wood, paper, carpet, and even on food! Mold growth can affect your home’s structure and your health. So, if you suspect any mold growth, just call us right away! Our technicians will thoroughly assess and inspect your property for visible mold signs. We use various techniques to detect the presence of mold and possible hidden water sources. If mold is found, we will immediately start the mold remediation process by thoroughly cleaning it and remediating it with as little disruption as possible.
Fix Foundation Issues
Signs & Causes of Basement Issues
When it comes to foundation problems, there are some things that we know to look for that are obvious signs that something is wrong.
Efflorescence
Efflorescence, a powdery white residue left over from minerals in concrete, soil, and water, is not toxic, but it can indicate moisture problems. While easily removable, its presence indicates underlying problems. Regular inspections and proactive measures are crucial to addressing the root causes and ensuring the structure’s long-term integrity and health. Prompt action safeguards against more severe complications like mold growth and structural damage.
Bubbling Drywall
It is the common issue of moisture intrusion in basements, where the integrity of the drywall is compromised due to excessive dampness. When the moisture saturates the drywall material, it undergoes changes that result in the formation of bubbles or blisters on the surface. The process is often accelerated by factors such as water seepage through foundation walls, plumbing leaks, or humidity levels.
Condensation
Condensation occurs when water forms along surfaces and items in a basement due to high humidity and high moisture levels. It is often due to poor air quality or water problems that high moisture and humidity levels occur. In order to prevent mold and mildew, air quality and water problems need to be controlled and eliminated.
Wet Basement Walls
Water leaks along basement walls are common and visible signs of potential issues. Whether small or extensive, prompt attention is crucial to prevent structural damage and conditions like mold. Neglecting these problems can lead to costly repairs, emphasizing the need for proactive measures, such as regular inspections and maintenance, to ensure the basement’s long-term health and functionality.
Wet Basement Floors
After heavy rain, water accumulation on the basement floor may signal leaks in the walls or seepage from beneath. These vulnerabilities, ranging from minor seepage to more significant issues, require prompt attention to prevent structural damage and potential mold growth. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance are crucial to ensuring the basement’s dryness and resilience, particularly following heavy rain events.
Bowed or Leaning Basement Walls
A bowed or leaning basement wall is also the result of hydrostatic pressure (pressure exerted on your walls by water-saturated soil outside your home). This problem greatly affects the structural integrity of your home and should be repaired immediately. Our basement wall crack repair team in the Central Maryland Region uses SafeBase Wall Anchors, which are specially designed to pull the wall back to its correct position and strengthen the support.
