With the weather changing and the rainfall increasing, now is the time to think about a dry basement in Boston MA. A damp or wet basement can result in damage to a home’s structure and cause health problems for the occupants living in a home.
There are numerous solutions to deal with a wet basement, including wall wrap, French drains, sealing of cracks, and much more. A homeowner can receive a free estimate with sound solutions to their wet basement problem from an experienced waterproofing company.
How To Choose A Waterproofing Company?
A homeowner should consider whether the company is a member of the Better Business Bureau and explore the rating for the company. The higher the rating, the better the chance the company is reliable. The waterproofing company should supply a transferable warranty for the work performed in the home. The company should only use regular employees and not subcontractors to perform the work.
Cracks In The Wall
Whatever the solution is for the dampness in the basement, the cracks in the wall should never be repaired before the water problem is corrected. Sealing cracks in a foundation before the water problem is corrected may result in further damage to the basement.
After the water problem has been corrected, cracks in the walls can be repaired with flexible resin. A thermosetting flexible resin will adhere to the concrete surface, fill the voids, and provide a custom-fit seal through the entire wall.
French Drains And Sump Pump System
One way to have a dry basement in Boston MA is the installation of interior French drains with a sump pump system. The drain will transport the water from around the foundation into the sump pump container to move it out of the home. A homeowner can have a battery-powered backup unit in the event the power goes out and a high water alarm in case the water rises too high.
