Why Should I Waterproof My Home?
What are the signs of water damage?
Nothing is more worrisome to a homeowner than when you discover water pooling in your basement. Over time, rainwater and soil put an immense strain on your foundation as it tries its best to prevent water from leaking into your home. Unfortunately, water will find its way inside through the tiniest of cracks.
Indications of Water Damage:
Dark or wet spots
Flaking paint
Musty smell
Mold growth
Pools of water
Efflorescence (white chalky residue deposited from water evaporation)
Discoloration of surfaces
Why does water get into my basement?
During periods of heavy or persistent rain, the soil can become saturated, creating hydrostatic pressure (or water pressure) that can push moisture and water through your basement walls and floor. Rainwater from clogged gutters can also pool around your foundation, expanding the soil, building lateral pressure against your foundation, and ultimately causing damage to your home.
