Repair Tips

PROFESSIONAL BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
Permanent Interior and Exterior solution
CALL US: 1-866-891-1917

Homeowners are often tempted to try and make all of their repairs by themselves. While there are many things around the home that are simple to repair, waterproofing issues often are not one of them. That’s why it’s important to get a waterproofing expert as soon as you notice a water-related problem with your home. The sooner we get to your house, the quicker you can have a dry home. Oftentimes, you will also save a lot of money when you call us right away.

Big Project Repair Tips

If you are attempting to provide your own waterproofing solutions, here are some important repair tips to keep in mind before you start your big project.

1. Channel Water Away from Your Home

One of the biggest causes of water in your home is actually coming from your roof. If your gutters and downspouts aren’t effectively channeling water away from your home, then you will inevitably end up with water in your basement.

In order to keep the roof water away from your foundation, you need to have a proper slope in your gutters. You also need to make sure that you keep your gutters free from debris. Clean and efficient gutters can prevent many basement flooding problems.

2. Basement Finishing

Having a finished basement can be a great asset to your home, but it can be a huge hassle if you end up with water in your basement. One of the things that many people overlook when finishing their basement is applying the proper waterproofing techniques.

There are many different ways that you can waterproof your basement. One common way is through the installation of a weeping tile system. It’s important to do something to waterproof your finished basement.

3. Lowering Your Soil

Basement leakage is sometimes caused by having dirt above your home’s foundation wall or slab. This can cause water damage, mold, and a host of other problems. In order to fix this, you can simply do some re-landscaping.

By lowering your soil level below the foundation walls or slab, you can help keep this water out of your basement. Adding drainage rocks around your home can also be a big help.

4. Too Much Humidity

If the humidity level of your home is too high, you might end up with leaks and drips that can end up causing water damage. Even worse, you might end up with damaged pipes. In order to remedy this, you need to reduce the humidity and pressure in your home.

This can be done by applying more insulation to the walls. It might also help to add new windows and vents to the basement. When fresh air is allowed into the home, you can prevent the humidity and temperature changes that cause the drips and leaks.

5. Funnel Water to a Pit

Water in your soil is constantly pressing against your foundation. Since concrete is very porous material, it is inevitable that this water will eventually enter the home. Therefore, you need to reduce the amount of water that is resting against your foundation.

By installing a proper drainage system, you can funnel this water into a pit that will be pumped out of the area. This will prevent the water from constantly sitting against your foundation.

6. Sealing Your Windows

Basement windows are notorious for letting water into the home. Since windows usually attract more water, particularly in heavy rain storms, it is important to protect your windows so that you can keep this water outside of your home.

Your basement windows need to be sealed properly to prevent this water from entering. It’s also a good idea to protect your windows with metal or masonry window wells. This will give you an added layer of protection against the rain water.

HomeStars Client Reviews Average Rating 10

We just had Aqua Tech waterproofing our basement. The whole team is very professional and friendly. They take time to complete the job right. They also take time to explain the process to help you select the best option for your current problem. The work place is completely clean after they are done. We are so pleased with their work that we will get them to do further work for us.

Nick and his team were great, from start to finish the guys were a pleasure to deal with, they kept the job site clean at all times, and also were very careful and respected my property since the job involved digging a trench on the side of my basement to install weeping tiles. I’m very satisfied with the work and would definitely recommend Aqua Tech Waterproofing in the future.

I hired Aqua Tech to do a 30 feet of exterior waterproofing in my house, Andrew and his crew were simply the best, it was a pleasure dealing with this company, they worked within my budget and always cleaned up. I would definitely recommend this company to all my family and friends. Thank you guys once more and see you back in the spring to do the rest of my house.
