Waterproofing requires more than painting a sealant on the walls. The footer of a home is the outside perimeter that the foundation walls rest on. The concrete floor of the basement extends to the footer. Ground water around a home will do everything possible to find its way into a home. After it rains, it puts pressure on the foundation. Some waterproofing companies will repoint the basement walls and paint a sealant over the brick. This is only a temporary fix for a serious problem. Armored Basement Waterproofing LLC in Baltimore goes well beyond that to remove the water and keep it from entering the home.
Excavating a yard to install drains is not necessary. Fighting the entry of water through the use of sealants will only cause further damage to the foundation. Armored Basement Waterproofing protects the floor, wall, and foundation areas by creating a channel with a sub floor. The channel will travel to a sump pump that will push the water out of the basement. If a basement is very large, more than one sump pump may be necessary. A vinyl plate is installed to create a separation between the floor, wall, and foundation joint. The water can flow back to the ground or to the sump pump.
The channel will have concrete installed and will look just like your basement floor. Wall liners are also available to prevent moisture from seeping through the block. These add further protection to a basement to keep it dry and free of mold or mildew. When the crew arrives to perform the work, they will clear the area and bring in their equipment to perform the work. They will perform all the demolition necessary for creating the channel. Deep weep holes will be drilled along the channel. These weep holes permit the water to enter or exit the structure. A wall liner will be installed and the basement will be livable again.
There’s no reason you can’t use your basement any long when this type of waterproofing system is installed in your home. It will make it dry, and the basement won’t feel cold and damp any longer. For more information, please Click Here.
