Keeping water outside of your home involves a lot of attention to the home’s exterior. Heavy rainfall is constantly a big threat against every building. There are many ways that water can penetrate into your house. By putting up barriers against water, you can help protect your home from costly water damage. Aquatech Waterproofing is a leading expert in waterproofing the exterior of your home so that water can’t get inside.Waterproofing the exterior of your home depends on a lot of different factors. One important step is to seal all of the areas where water could potentially pass into your house. This includes sealing the joints and windows of your home. It also includes repairing any external cracks in your foundation. Other potential problem areas are around any cables, wires, or light fixtures that have been installed through the outside of your home. Any gap is enough space for water to get inside and cause damage. The experts at Aquatech carefully inspect every inch of your home’s exterior to find the causes of water invasion.A proper outdoor drainage system is also a big key in keeping your basement dry. If water pools up and stands against your foundation, your home becomes more susceptible to flooding. Properly sloping your yard so that water runs away from the house can really help prevent damage to your foundation and water from penetrating inside. French drains, window wells, and other drainage techniques can provide an effective barrier for keeping water out. Aquatech Waterproofing has all of the potential drainage solutions for your yard to make sure the water stays outside where it belongs.

Installing a sump pump in your basement can be a big help in the battle to keep water out of your home. When a sump pump is installed properly and kept in good working order, water will be forced away from your home so that you won’t have to deal with flooding in your basement.

Since basements are often underground, keeping water out of them is like fighting against gravity. Sump pumps are so effective because they will push the water up and away from your home. A typical sump pump system will require a sump pit where the water will collect underneath the basement ground level. The pump will then force the water out of your home so that your basement will stay dry. By controlling the collection and direction of the excess water, the sump pump creates a more effective drainage system.

Our experts will evaluate your home and drainage system to determine the best location for your pump. We can also determine the best type of pump for your particular situation. Since not every house is the same, determining the best setup for a sump pump shouldn’t be left to a one-size-fits-all solution.
