Our Basement Waterproofing Solutions
We have years of experience providing West Virginians the basement waterproofing solutions they need to combat the moisture caused by above-average rainfall and the settling of West Virginia’s Monongahela soil. We utilize a number of techniques, including the following, to keep our homeowners’ basements clear and free of unwanted moisture.
Dehumidifiers
While some basements flood, most of them only experience damp and humid conditions. The best way to combat a basement with a high level of relative humidity is to install a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier works by intaking the warm moist air in the basement, cooling it, and dispelling the condensed water that is left behind. Not only do dehumidifiers promote comfort, but by removing moisture, they prevent the growth of harmful mold and mildew as well.
Sump Pumps
Sump pumps are placed in the lowest part of the basement so that any standing water flows directly into the designated basin. Once the water flows into the sump pump basin, the pump will turn on and pump any water out of the basement and away from the home. Sump pumps are a critical component of a comprehensive basement waterproofing solution, especially in West Virginia homes that regularly experience flooding in the basement.
Interior Drainage System
Interior drainage systems work in tandem with a sump pump by directing any unwanted water straight to the pump. These systems work in much the same way as a gutter, except they lay just underneath the floor of the basement around the perimeter. As such, whenever water penetrates the foundation or basement wall, it goes straight into the drainage system, which then directs the water to the sump pump for removal.
Wall Vapor Barrier
A vapor barrier is a thick, durable, waterproof material used to line the walls of a basement or crawl space. In addition to providing an effective basement waterproofing solution, vapor barriers can significantly improve the visual appeal of your basement. Vapor barriers work best when paired with other basement waterproofing solutions.
