Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is basement waterproofing important?
Waterproofing your basement protects your home’s foundation from water damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration. It helps maintain a dry, healthy living environment and preserves the value of your home.
2. How do I know if I need basement waterproofing?
Common signs include musty odors, damp walls or floors, white powdery residue (efflorescence), visible water leaks, or mold and mildew growth. If you notice any of these symptoms — especially after heavy rain — it’s time for a professional inspection.
3. What causes water problems in basements and crawl spaces?
Most water issues are caused by poor drainage, hydrostatic pressure (water pushing through foundation walls), cracks, clogged gutters, or an improperly graded yard. Over time, these problems can lead to leaks and foundation damage.
