Having Problems With Your Basement?
A wet basement is more than just an inconvenience; it can be a serious threat to your home’s structure and your family’s health. Water intrusion can lead to mold and mildew growth, musty odors, and even a weakened foundation. Ignoring these issues can lead to expensive damage and a decrease in your home’s value.
We specialize in diagnosing the root cause of water intrusion and providing effective, long-lasting solutions. Our expert team identifies the source of water entry and creates a permanent barrier against water and humidity, protecting your family and property.
Common Basement Water Problems We Fix
Water Intrusion
Heavy rainfall or melting snow can cause water to seep through walls and floors, leading to leaks and even flooding. We install interior drainage systems like the Water Tunnel channel system, which collects water and directs it to a sump pump, keeping your basement dry even during the heaviest storms.
Biological Growth
Moisture in your basement creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew to thrive, leading to foul odors and potential health risks. We can treat existing growth with a fungicidal coating and then install a strong, inorganic polyurethane membrane to encapsulate your basement, preventing future water vapor from entering.
Musty/Foul Odor
Persistent musty smells are a clear sign of a moisture problem, even without visible water. This can be caused by stagnant air and trapped humidity. Our encapsulation solutions seal your basement and create a barrier against outside moisture, eliminating the source of these unpleasant odors.
Cracked Foundation Walls
While a cracked foundation can be a sign of a structural issue, cracks in basement walls can also be a common entry point for water. We use a variety of solutions, including carbon fiber straps and helical tiebacks, to reinforce your walls against external soil pressure and seal cracks to prevent water from getting in.
Decreased HVAC Efficiency
A damp, uninsulated basement forces your HVAC system to work overtime to manage humidity and temperature. This leads to higher energy bills. By encapsulating your basement, we create an effective thermal and vapor barrier, allowing your heating and cooling systems to work more efficiently and save you money.
Egress Windows
An egress window can maximize your basement’s potential, add to your home’s resale value, and increase safety for you and your family.
These essential windows and their durable wells brighten your lower level with natural light and are engineered with materials that resist rust and rot, helping protect your newly waterproofed basement from the elements.
Sump Pump Options
Your basement waterproofing system is only as effective as its sump pump. To ensure the ultimate protection, all our systems drain into a top-of-the-line sump pump featuring redundant safeguards against power outages and mechanical failures.
We offer powerful A/C and D/C back-up, as well as heavy-duty dual pump systems, all designed to remain online and working when you need them most. Our airtight systems also help trap bugs, odors, and radon gas, while a high-water or advanced text alarm keeps you informed of any potential issues.
