Why you should waterproof your basement:

- Electrical danger due to wiring or sockets exposed to moisture
- Mold & mildew problems
- Damp musty basement odors
- Possible structural damage from water intrusion causing concrete breakdown
Ultimately water damage can cause rapid and in some cases severe deterioration to your home foundation. By hiring the right waterproofing contractor, you can save time and money on regular home maintenance. The right waterproofing contractor for any homeowner is a licensed, bonded, certified waterproofing contractor. The waterproofing services contractor will have client references that can help you understand the waterproofing process and how they feel about this particular company.
Waterproofing Steps That You Can Handle
The first step is trying to figure out the type of problem you are encountering. Then, check the grading around your home, downspouts for any leaks or pooling, and cracks in the driveway. If they are small, patch all the cracks in the basement walls and floors. You’ll need to seal them all, as water in the home can cause mold problems in a wet basement.
Poor drainage is the most common cause of basement moisture. The goal of these drainage systems is to direct groundwater and rainwater away from the foundation of your home. Good gutters will also help a lot. When properly installed, gutters direct rainwater away from the foundation of your home.
Upgrade To Professional Waterproofing
After the obvious and simple repairs, you might realize that you need help; a waterproofing contractor’s job is to identify basement water threats and correct these threats fast and economically. For example, additional drainage systems may be needed. Ask the basement waterproofing experts at American Eagle about sump pumps, French and surface drains to solve your problems. Not waterproofing your basement in time can pose dangers and there can be early signs of water damage that lead to major issues later.
High-performance coatings prevent water and water vapor from moving through walls, keeping your structure and everything inside safe from moisture. By cleaning surfaces first, then repairing any cracks by completely replacing sealant, the professionals can prevent future damage at the windows, walls, and all points of entry. This results in lasting protection for your exterior from not only water, but also sun, rain, wind, and air pollution.
