Waterproofing

Experiencing wet walls in your basement in Alliston?

Moisture in a house may be dangerous for a variety of reasons, including mold. Water may also compromise the integrity of the structure of a home, putting its owners in significant physical and financial danger.

Waterproofing is the process of placing a protective layer on your home to eliminate the chances of water leaking. Although you may waterproof your property from the roof to the foundation, most people waterproof their basements. Waterproofing your basement will help prevent water from entering and also limit humidity and moisture from entering your home.

Types of waterproofing

1. Waterproofing of the Interior: Interior waterproofing is the simplest and most cost-effective option. Sealing any possible water and moisture entryways in your home, such as doors, windows, floor, and wall cracks, is one of them. Interior waterproofing may also entail the application of coatings to the basement walls and flooring to create a strong barrier. Although interior waterproofing can assist, more serious problems are generally found on the exterior of the home.
2. Waterproofing on the Outside: The source of most moist basement problems is usually located on the outside. As a result, the most efficient technique to keep water and moisture out of the foundation is to prevent water from entering from the outside.
3. Drainage Systems: One of the most common causes of dampness in the foundation is drainage problems. To help keep a dry foundation, you should ensure your home has adequate drainage. Directing moving water away from your home’s drainage system, whether it is rainwater or groundwater, is an important part of the waterproofing process. Because each home and its topography are unique, our professionals will assess your property to determine the appropriate drainage systems.

Waterproofing your property is just as important as any other home protective measure. Water and moisture may impact negatively on your home’s structural integrity. Contact PHD Plumbing, Heating and Drain in Alliston to schedule an appointment today.
