BASEMENT WATERPROOFING

Water damage is one of the most common issues faced by homeowners, leading to costly repairs and significant structural damage. As basements are particularly vulnerable due to their below-ground location, effective waterproofing solutions have become an essential part of home maintenance.

The Problem

You just picked up that box of camping gear from the corner of the basement, eagerly anticipating a long weekend at the state park…only to discover that everything inside is mildewed. Your leaky basement has quite literally dampened your plans.

If you notice any of the following, your basement may have a leak

Water seepage from walls or floors
Warped paneling/dry rot
Mold, mildew or fungus
Dampness
Cracks in walls or floors
Musty odor
White powder on walls
Peeling paint
Buckling or bowing walls

Rainwater in the soil around your home can build up pressure over time, causing your foundation to leak and crack. When ignored, the damage can become extensive.

Concrete PRO Advanced Materials for Waterproofing

Recent advancements in materials science have led to the development of more durable waterproofing materials. These materials are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and provide long-lasting protection against moisture. For instance, polymer-modified cementitious coatings are now widely used, offering superior adhesion and flexibility compared to traditional options. This flexibility allows these materials to expand and contract with temperature fluctuations, reducing the likelihood of cracks that can lead to water intrusion.

Other innovative materials include crystalline waterproofing products that react chemically with water to form a gel-like barrier within the concrete. This not only seals existing cracks but also prevents future ones from forming. By incorporating nanotechnology, manufacturers have improved the water repellency of coatings, resulting in surfaces that resist moisture while simultaneously allowing for breathability, which is crucial for preventing mold growth.

Five steps to an interior draining system:

STEP

Remove 10”-16” of floor.

STEP

Drill drain holes in block walls.

STEP

Install drain tile and gravel.

STEP

Install sump pump system.

STEP

Replace concrete.
