BASEMENT WATERPROOFING / REPAIR
They exist beneath our feet but there is an essential part of our Newark homes. We use our Newark basements for many different things. They can be second living rooms, rented apartments, hang out areas, band practice areas or just places that people can use to escape the melee of the everyday family live every now and then. Know more about how we do our basement waterproofing service!
However, even if they are just storage spaces, it is very important to keep them in good working order. Here, we will explain why what can happen if you don’t and how we will be able to help you in this endeavor. Keep on reading to find out exactly what it is that we can do!
Water, Water!
It may seem a little innocuous to some but our Newark basements are very important sections of our houses. They are often joined to the foundations and they are both the foundational sections of a building as well as the most fragile points in some ways.
Water is the basements worst enemy and if you have any feeling of responsibility for keeping a home or a building in good working order, then you need to make sure that the basement is not falling prey to the clutches of water and water damage. It could cost you in the future unless you are willing to do something about it.
Soil and its Properties
Basements are at risk of water damage for one very simple reason. That reason is that they are next to what people call the virgin soil around a house. This is soil that was disturbed when the building was erected. Otherwise it would have remained compact and ancient, however, there is a disturbance and now the soil is fragile, with gaps in it, and vulnerable to damage from the outside.
The rain gets into this soil and rather than sitting on the top, it seems through and sits against the foundations and the basement walls. Through the cracks and through the osmosis of condensation, it can end up causing damp, which spells trouble for the security of a structure.
Waterproofing
We are there to make sure this doesn’t happen or to minimize future damage. Through a system of drains, we might be able to ensure that your Newark basement never experiences flooding, but we are also there to help for the more subtle ways that damage can occur. Through waterproofing the basement and foundation walls, we can provide a protective layer that will be second to none until that soil ages a little bit.
Get into a conversation about how we can help and you will come away feeling great about the security of your structure. Trust us, we have been doing this for long enough to know how beneficial it is!
Process
We begin with an inspection. After that, we will have a meeting and show you our findings. Then we can draw up a plan and get the ball rolling. It will be cheaper than you think and it will take less time as well!
