What is Basement Waterproofing?

Basement waterproofing involves techniques and materials used to prevent and repair basement water leaks, as well as wet and damp basement problems. This may include various services such as the use of sealants applied to the interior or exterior walls, installation of drainage systems, sump pumps, or even exterior excavation and waterproof coating. Waterproofing can protect the basement from water damage, mold, and dampness. It can also help to maintain the structural integrity of the building by reducing the risk of foundational issues caused by water seepage.

Signs Your Might Need Waterproofing 

When to Get Basement Waterproofing Midland?

You should seek basement waterproofing Midland as soon as you notice the first signs of water damage – foundation cracks, wet basement walls or floors, water leaks, mold growth, and damp smell. Here is a couple of signs that we often see:

 

  • Wet basement – look for signs of water intrusion. This could be something as noticeable as a pool of water or dampness on your basement floor or walls, or more subtle signs such as peeling paint, a musty smell, mold growth, etc.

  • During basement finishing - you're planning to finish your basement and turn it into a livable space or lower basement floors, it's best to waterproof it during this process to prevent future water damage.

  • After flooding - if your home experiences flooding for any reason (heavy rain, sewer backup, etc.), once clean-up is complete you'll want to have waterproofing performed to guard against future incidences.

  • When buying or selling a home - as part of the home inspection process it may come out that the basement needs waterproofing. Fixing this can make the property easier to sell/buy and increase its value.

  • Preventative measure - even if your house doesn't have any signs of water leakage currently but was built over 20-30 years ago; waterproofing will provide peace of mind that you are protected from potential heavy rainfall or even snowfall which is quite common in Midland.

 

Older homes can develop foundation cracks over time due to shifting ground, and these cracks can allow water to seep into your basement.
