General Info
What is waterproofing? Basement waterproofing refers to techniques used to prevent water from entering the basement of a house or other building. Effective below ground waterproofing will include both drainage and sealers. Waterproofing is needed anytime a structure is built at ground level or below ground. Waterproofing and drainage considerations are especially needed in cases where ground water is likely to build up in the soil and raise the water table. This higher water table causes hydrostatic pressure to be exerted underneath basement floors and against basement walls. Hydrostatic pressure forces water in through cracks in foundation walls, through openings caused by expansion and contraction of the footing-foundation wall joint and up through floor cracks. Hydrostatic pressure can cause major structural damage to foundation walls and is likely to contribute to mold, decay and other moisture related problems. To prevent mold, the most important thing you can do is stop it before it starts. Mold needs two things to thrive - water and organic material, like the wood in your house. Mold can't grow if there's no moisture to feed it and keep it alive. You can't replace the wood in your home but can eliminate the moisture with basement waterproofing. Prevention of mold exposure and ensuing health issues include prevention of mold growth in the first place by avoiding a mold-supporting environment such as humid air. It is useful to perform an assessment of the location and extent of the mold hazard in a structure. Various practices of remediation can be followed to mitigate mold issues in buildings, the most important of which is to reduce moisture levels. Removal of affected materials after the source of moisture has been reduced and/or eliminated may be necessary. Health benefits - protect your loved ones from dangerous mold infestations, microbial growth, and allergies. Increase the livable square footage of your home and have peace of mind when finishing a basement knowing that you won't need to rip it out due to mold or flooding. Enclose your crawlspace and be able to store those rarely used Christmas decorations.
