What are the different basement waterproofing methods?

• <div><p>Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:</p><ul><li><p>Using dehumidifiers </p></li><li><p>Silicate concrete sealers</p></li><li><p>Vapor barriers </p></li><li><p>Baseboard channels </p></li><li><p>Drain tile systems</p></li><li><p>Waterproofing paint</p></li><li><p>Drainage systems</p></li><li><p>Epoxy injection</p></li><li><p>Interior French drains</p></li><li><p>Exterior excavation and waterproofing</p></li><li><p>Cement waterproofing</p></li><li><p>Weep tiles</p></li><li><p>Liquid membrane</p></li><li><p>Sheet membrane </p></li><li><p>Yard grading</p></li><li><p>Gutters and downspouts</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How often do French drains clog?

• <div><p>The frequency with which a French drain clogs depends on various factors, such as the amount of debris that enters the pipe, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-installs-french-drains.htm">quality of the French drain installation</a>, the type of grate and filter used, and how often it is maintained. That’s why it’s recommended to clean your French drain at least once a year, whether it is clogged or not. This can prevent clogs and increase the lifespan of your drain.</p></div>

Q: Can a damp basement affect upstairs?

• <div><p>Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement. </p></div>

Q: What damages can I expect from a burst pipe?

• <div><p>A burst pipe can cause hundreds or even thousands of dollars in damage. It could flood your home, which can destroy many of your belongings. It could also ruin hardwood floors and carpeting, requiring you to replace your flooring. Finally, mold and mildew form very quickly after high levels of moisture have been introduced to a space; this is not only costly to remove but also bad for your health. </p></div>

Q: Will waterproofing my basement add to the value of my home?

• <div><p>Although waterproofing your basement may not directly increase the value of your home, it will protect the value you already have by preventing water damage. A basement without any signs of water will be more appealing to prospective home buyers. A leaky basement is a major red flag during a home inspection, and it will likely reduce the amount that buyers are willing to pay.</p></div>

Awful. The man (Marty H.) came with the crew the first day and then left. We did not see him until the job was over. His crew looked like convicts that he had gotten out on work-release. They tore one of the screens upstairs and did not claim respnsibility nor offer to replace it. After a...
