Waterproofing Basements

FIXING WET BASEMENTS IS OUR ONLY BUSINESS!

1. Water seeps inside the hollow voids of the masonry basement walls, dissolving minerals like calcium, lime, and other water soluble materials out of your concrete.

2. Temperature changes cause your foundation to expand and contract over and over again. This movement allows entry points for water to leak into your basement where the walls meet the floor.
3. Water built up underneath the ground creates pressure, causing water to leak up through the floor or in through cracks.


4. Water-logged soil exerts many pounds of pressure against the basement walls, resulting in walls cracking or buckling.

WOOD ROT and WOOD-EATING INSECTS have a HUGE ATTRACTION to a WET BASEMENT

1. HOME AND PROPERTY DAMAGE: — Rotten wood, wet insulation, ruined carpeting and damaged appliances are some of the results of wet basement problems.

2. INSECTS: — Insects “LOVE” a wet environment! Wet Basements are ideal habitats for insects to breed and multiply. Moisture-hungry insects include carpenter ants, termites and other wood-eaters. Spiders, millipedes and water bugs also love a wet basement. The truth is, most insect control services won't even give you a guarantee on their services without repairing the water leakage problems first.

3. ELECTROCUTION DANGERS: — Wet floors and moisture in your basement walls are very good conductors of electricity. Damp electrical outlets and switches create a real risk of electrical shock.

WHY SHOULD YOU FIX BASEMENT LEAKS?

LOWER PROPERTY RESALE VALUES: — Surveys show that people are really turned off by wet basement problems. The value of your home can be reduced by 25% or more due to water leakage. Trying to sell a home with a wet basement can become a very difficult task. Most Realtors will advise their customers to fix basement leaks before offering their homes for sale.
