Waterproofing protects your concrete or wooden structures, from water damage.

Foundation waterproofing helps prevent water intrusion that could weaken concrete or wooden structures/foundations or lead to their disintegration over time.

The cost of repairing a foundation damaged by water intrusion is much higher than the cost of foundation sealing, basement waterproofing, crawlspaces waterproofing, and waterproofing other parts of your home that are particularly susceptible to water damage.

By waterproofing house foundation, before you have a foundation problem, you can prevent foundation damage and save yourself a lot of grief and expense later on.

Typical waterproofing solutions

Waterproofing and protective coating solutions come in a variety of forms. They can be applied to above-grade or below-grade decks, exterior walls, slabs, foundations, retaining walls, basement leaks or basement walls.

Waterproofing materials are often rubber-based and have the ability to bridge cracks for basement foundation crack repair. Foundation wall waterproofing products should be distinguished from some damp proofing products which are tar-based and will not provide waterproofing protection.

There are also various types of waterproofing methods, but the two most common methods are waterproofing membrane installation and crystallization for foundation sealing.

Exterior Wall Waterproofing

Typically, a water intrusion problem is addressed by excavating along the exterior side of the wall (e.g. the foundation wall or the retaining wall) and applying waterproofing compounds or a waterproofing membrane to this exterior wall.

NOTE: Waterproofing membranes should be accompanied by good drainage to be most effective for basement leak repair. This involves excavating a trench within which a perforated drain pipe surrounded by gravel wrapped in fabric could be placed to drain excess water.

Concrete waterproofing by crystallization

With wet basement repairs, if it is not possible to apply waterproofing to the exterior side, there are special waterproofing products that may be applied to the interior side of the foundation or retaining wall. This method requires several months of curing before the special waterproofing products can completely crystallize throughout the entire wall and make it waterproof against water intrusion.

Whichever waterproofing solution is used for basement wall leak repair, or any other waterproofing home project, it is important that it be executed correctly and the waterproofing product be applied properly. Thus, it is imperative that you choose an experienced foundation contractor that can correctly implement the appropriate waterproofing method. Google, foundation waterproofing companies near me, and do your research.
