WATERPROOFING

Waterproofing of the house is an important
feature of keeping your house safe from seepage,
molds and other problems caused by water. Crucial
part of your house is the basement which is one
the most neglected spaces in the entire house.
Basements are basically an extra area underneath
your house. This is mostly kept for storage and
other purposes. Major damage to your house from
water can come from this neglected space.

Damp Odor - Basement is not one of the most
used parts of the house. It is dry dusty smell
Place if your basement is having a dampened
sweaty, smell it may be the first sign of water
seepage and smell is the resultant of mold and
mildews in your basement. If not visible also the
smell signals the probable growing in some nook
or corner. This is your warning bell to bring in
basement waterproofing contractors.

Crack In The Walls and Floors -
Cracks are the most widespread signs that water
is getting into your basement. Walls become weak
if there is constant water influence on the
house. Floor seepage also creates cracks in the
floor making it susceptible to damage. If
basement floor and walls are cracking, there is a
serious danger to the foundation of your house.
5
Water Lines -
Basement windows are small and mostly kept open
to keep the basement airy and with light. There
is an attached window well drain to it to keep
the water away. If there are water lines around
this very window chances are high that the drain
is clogged and not functioning properly. It is
time to bring in waterproofing contractors if the
lines are increasing around your basement window.
6
Molds -
Presence of molds show that the magnitude of
damage is high in your basement. Constant
seepage of water leads to growth of molds which
not only makes walls ugly but weakens wood and
bricks. Waterproofing the basement in such a case
becomes highest priority to save your house as
molds spread very quickly from one place to
another.
7
Efflorescence -
Efflorescence is basically the white powdery
substance you get in the walls and wood when
water has seeped in through the walls and is
getting deposited as minerals. Efflorescence is a
very pertinent sign of water infiltration into
your basement. If you notice this white substance
in walls it is actually time for waterproofing
your basement.
