Basement Waterproofing
Basement Waterproofing Steps
Step 1 – Relieving Hydrostatic Pressure
The best guarantee is from the interior vs. the exterior. To install a French Drain we open the floor around the perimeter of the basement floor, the deeper and wider the better.
Step 2 – Installing Drainage System
A sump pump collects water flow from the French Drain. The average sump system at 1/3 hp will manage 2,400 gallons per hour, which is more than sufficient in most cases. Larger areas may require additional sump pumps.
Step 3 – Fixing Structural Wall Cracks
As soil settles outside foundation walls at differing rates, it expands and contracts with seasonal freezing and thawing processes because of hydrostatic pressure. We fix these wall cracks.
Step 4 – Apply an “EPA” Mold Coating
Mold has certainly made its way into people’s homes. Many people still don’t fully understand the health hazards of fungal exposure. Our EPA mold coating helps prevent the formation of mold.
Step 5 – Install Thermal Armor Vapor Barrier
This will help you save on energy bills and eliminate the possibility of rot and decay. Reflective insulation is becoming a standard component of a total basement insulation system as it is currently tax deductible.
Step 6 – Break-through Technology
HydroTex floor and membrane coating is the best of the best. Unlike conventional sealants and epoxy’s – HydroTex will never chip, peel, crack, blister or breakdown. This is truly 100% waterproofing.
