If You Own A Basement, Watch Out For Heavy Rain Problems! BARRIER Waterproofing

Basement-Owners-Watch-Out-For-Heavy-RainThe regenerating seasons like spring and summer can come rolling in fast, bringing plenty of rain right along with it! Plenty of regions across the country experience flooding during this time, most of which occur in the flood plains due to the lack of room for water once the ground has already become fully saturated. Though it might not be located on a flood plain, your basement is still subject to flooding from heavy rain in spring if professional waterproofing measures have not yet secured it. You can read on to find out more about why this occurs!

There are many overall reasons a basement could end up being the victim of flooding, yet understanding some of the most prominent ones can help you determine which waterproofing measures are best for your home.

First, There is General Flooding

Nearby rivers can quickly become too full to be contained within their banks and swell up onto your property. Once it grows high enough to reach your home’s foundation, the potential for the pressure of the water to allow water to seep right on into your basement is extremely high.

Second, There are Long Periods of Heavy Rain

Several days of rainfall can often prove to be just as detrimental for your property as general flooding! As the ground becomes too saturated to absorb any more water, the rest will find the next path of least resistance, which could be your foundation!

Third, There Are Broken or Failing Gutters

They may not appear to be on duty for keeping your basement dry, but your gutters can keep a substantial amount of water from threatening to enter your basement. Properly working gutters and downspouts can drain the water from your roof and effectively direct it away from your home’s foundation.

Some of the factors in the previously mentioned contributors to flooding can be fixed easily enough with some repairs to your home. No one can combat mother nature, but luckily some efficient basement waterproofing measures have been put into place to help protect your foundation from the effects of moisture intrusion.
