Basement Waterproofing Treatment
“Why do you need basement waterproofing & wall waterproofing”
You might notice a small amount of water on the basement floor or a foundation wall .You
could realize that each time you go down to the basement, there is an unmistakable musty
smell. This happens nowhere else in the house, only in the basement. That smell is from
mold, which is a result of moisture showing up somewhere.
A clue that is often overlooked is when you see a white substance, sort of like fine
crystals or even powder, on the concrete walls of your basement. This is called
efflorescence. When water seeps through the wall, it dissolves salts that are inside the
concrete.

Exterior Basement Waterproofing Services
If the exterior walls are not waterproofed, the invading moisture can cause damp walls, which are excellent breeding grounds for mildew and mold. This damages the walls and leads to health problems for the occupants.. An exterior drain tile system is your best option if it’s not practical to waterproof a basement from the inside, due to having an already finished basement. This process starts by the foundation wall, then we apply a Silicone waterproofing coating.
Interior Basement Waterproofing Services
There are multiple reasons like rising dampness from high ground water table, cracks through which rain water seeps inside, seepage from adjoining leaking walls of bathroom and kitchen. The current traditional waterproofing methods are not enough to tackle the severe dampness occurring due to these reasons. You need a specialized treatment to arrest this dampness permanently.
