Water leaking moisture intrusion into basement that needs waterproofingBasements are designed for a many number of things including household storage, additional living space, and even home entertainment systems like theaters. One thing, however, that they are not designed for is moisture intrusion. Moisture intrusion brings about a whole plethora of problems that can threaten the very integrity of the foundation of your entire home. It is not always evident that moisture is entering into your basement and the damage caused by it can be very extensive and expensive to repair by the time you see some of the symptoms of it!

Some of the consequences of moisture intrusion in your basement can unfortunately be seen in a variety of places. You might notice that there is paint that is failing and peeling. You might find some wood of the exposed structures beginning to rot. There might be a collection of mold and mildew starting to grow. No matter the symptoms you find your basement is experiencing, the problem must be taken care of to avoid the damage that is being done.

There are several different ways to go about waterproofing your basement. You can call your local waterproofing experts and schedule an installation of the system that will redirect water away from your home, whether you choose the interior or the exterior of your basement. If your basement has remained mostly untouched, and it would not undo any construction or other work, an interior installation might be for you. Waterproofing from the inside is always a good measure to consider having done to increase the effectiveness of your waterproofing. Alternatively, you can waterproof your basement from the exterior, which wouldn’t interrupt much else but some landscaping work around the close perimeter of your home.

Inside the basement, a narrow trench is dug by breaking through the concrete foundation around the foot of the basement walls. It is filled with perforated piping that will help eliminate water away from the home that is coming from behind the walls. Outside the basement, a trench is dug out from the ground around the home and a similar pipe system is installed, however, an additional procedure is done, coating the outside of the basement walls with a waterproof material that blocks water out completely.

With moisture intrusion taken care of, your basement renovations will be safe from the water damage that has caused many a homeowner hefty amounts of money to repair the already costly renovations they already made! Keep your paint, integrity of the structure of your home, and clean air safe from the problems caused by moisture intrusion.
