BASEMENT WATERPROOFING Virginia And Maryland

Your home will likely be the most significant financial investment you will make. The definition of “home” also goes far beyond any financial connotation.

It’s where you rest and re-energize, where you raise your family, and where you work. Your home needs protection against those weather elements.

NOVA Basement Finishing: when it comes to your home, it’s all about peace of mind.

Waterproofing your home is like putting on a warm, dry coat, protecting you against those elements. Ideally, we waterproof the home for the outside. However, sometimes there is no other option than to waterproof from the inside. Either way, your home will be protected. We guarantee your satisfaction.

WHY DOES MY BASEMENT LEAK?

Foundations that leak cause all kinds of damage to your basement walls, whether you live in an old or new home. If your basement is leaking, then there is no time like the present to have it repaired and have a better time to add an extra layer of protection.

When a basement is excavated, the soil that will be backfilled around the new foundation will be much looser than the surrounding, undisturbed ground. The loose earth will collect water much faster than undisturbed virgin soils. This water accumulates and eventually enters the foundation wall as it ages and deteriorates.

HOW CAN I STOP MY BASEMENT FROM LEAKING?

A leaking foundation seems daunting to fix, but we can assure you that with the right waterproofing methods your basement will stay dry, a series of foundation protective coatings, and sealers that will keep the water from penetrating your foundation walls. Weeping tiles will carry away from your foundation and protect your basement from flooding and extreme weather. The only way to relieve this pressure is to install protective layers on the walls through a system of weeping tiles and a sump pump so that this water accumulation can be redirected away from the foundation, allowing the surrounding soils to dry and settle eventually.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO STOP LEAKS?

Moisture can cause damage to concrete, timber, bricks, and block structures, which can ultimately cost thousands of dollars in structural repairs.

Maintaining a dry basement is more important than you think, as mold spores can travel all over your home and cause various health issues. Without proper protection, waterproofing provides that leak could be detrimental to health.

INTERIOR WATERPROOFING SERVICE

Waterproofing your basement from the inside is a great option for houses, although we always prefer to protect it from the outside.

Waterproofing for the inside will stop water from entering your finished basement, allowing you to enjoy a dry living space. However, there will always be a little bit of water trapped behind the membrane of the foundation, which will last in the long term, deteriorate your walls.

It’s an effective way of controlling water and keeping your basement dry and free of mold, allowing you to enjoy a warm and dry space.
