Why is my basement wet?
Two kinds of water enter a basement: Surface and Ground. Surface water is runoff water, usually resulting from a heavy storm or blocked gutters. Groundwater comes from below as the water table builds up on top of the subsurface rock. (click here to see a diagram)
Is this problem serious?
Musty odors and dampness are early warning signs that foundation problems do exist. Actual seepage definitely represents a serious situation. An unattended problem continues to erode the foundation.
Can’t I just use a waterproofing sealant?
Coating the walls with a waterproofing sealant simply traps water inside the foundation wall. This is more damaging than letting the water pass through into the basement.
What happens if I delay service?
Personal belongings, furniture, dry wall, tiles, etc. will be ruined.
How long does it take to install a system?
Typically, it takes just one day to install a Bonded Deep Pressure Relief System.
Do you work in crawl spaces?
Yes – as long as they are a minimum of 3 feet in height. |
