Properly Inspecting the Home
Our specialists are trained to provide a thorough inspection of the home both inside and out. In this home our specialist inspected the previously installed drainage system to ensure there were no major issues at hand.
The Basement Had Already Been Finished
It is important for us to know what obstacles we face inside of the home so that our specialist can align the correct system for the homeowner. In this situation with a finished room in the basement that the homeowner did not want disturbed it proved to be more effective to waterproof the home from the outside. With several waterproofing methods available to us we pride ourselves on advising customers on how we can help them best in any situation.
Exterior Waterproofing
To install our exterior waterproofing system we excavate around the foundation walls so that the entire side of the foundation is visible. After cleaning the remaining dirt fromt the wall we are able to apply a waterproof membrane directly to the foundation.
Waterproofing the Wall
This waterproof membrane stretches from just above grade to just below the base of the footing. This thorough coverage of the foundation provides an effective solution for the entire wall.
Insulating the Wall
While we have the foundation exposed we are provided with an excellent opportunity to insulate the basement.
Warm Basement Walls
Insulating a basement is a good decision to make in general, but when you have a living space in your basement it can add considerable efficiency to your home energy usage.
A Clean Job Site
After the work was complete the homeowner was not only left with a much warmer and leak free basement, but also a clean job site.
