When your home experiences indoor flooding during rainfalls or snowmelt, it's a clear signal to consider house waterproofing. Homes succumb to floods and leaks for various reasons: cracks in the foundation, high groundwater levels, improper grading, clogged gutters, or flawed installation.
A prevalent cause of basement water infiltration is the uneven compression of soil that loosens after the house is built. This condition makes it easier for water to seep through and accumulate, resulting in a damp, musty basement.
Over time, this moisture absorption can compromise the structural integrity of your primary walls, posing a significant risk to your home's stability and comfort.
Exterior or external waterproofing addresses a leaky basement by working from the outside. It involves digging up the soil around your property to reveal the foundation, followed by the application of waterproofing materials. This establishes a waterproofing system designed to divert and distribute water away from the foundation walls, effectively preventing moisture penetration.
