The Problem

You know you need your basement waterproofed when you see these signs:

• Water infiltrates or floods your basement during periods of rain or snow melt
• Cracks have developed in your foundation walls or stairs
• The basement walls are showing signs of bulges in toward the basement
• The basement floor is lifting or dropping.

The Causes

The biggest reasons for the problems above are:

• Hydrostatic Pressure, that is, the force exerted on the foundation of your house by water that soaks ito the ground surrounding it as a result of storm water runoffs and snow melt.
• Foundation walls that have been damaged by the force of tree roots or soil movement underground.
• Non-existent or inadequate drainage, downspouting or exterior landscape grading.

The Benefits

The biggest benefits to waterproofing your basement are as follows:

• An increase to the value of your home
• Increased living space for your family to enjoy
• Elimination of some of the respiratory problems caused by mold, mildew, and fungus that often result from a wet basement.
• The peace of mind of knowing that the foundation of your home is structurally safe and sound.
