Basement Waterproofing

Finishing materials like wood, drywall, carpeting, and acoustical tiles are all easily damaged or ruined by even the mildest exposure to water in any of its forms: humidity, dampness, moisture or flooding. Our technicians have over 7 years experience in determining the risk or potential for moisture or flooding. Inspecting for the presence of moisture — even when there hasn’t been obvious moisture is always our first step.

Basement waterproofing investigates a number of measures:

• grading
• roofing
• flashing
• downspouts
• excavation
• sump pumps
• drainage systems
• moisture/vapor barriers
• v-groove and crack seal

Symptoms of Damage

Basements leak and flood in a number of ways. Water is heavy and the pressure can cause it to push through seams of any kind. The little bit of water you see on your basement floor typically indicates a much larger amount of water. Water issues can advance quickly, causing existing cracks to expand. Other symptoms are discoloration, mold, and structural deterioration.
