4 Crucial Benefits of Basement Waterproofing

Water damage is a prevalent form of damage to your home. The damage caused by water is overall because water comes from many sources, including rain, humidity, plumbing leaks, burst pipes, and overflows, among others.

Your home’s basement is particularly susceptible to water damage because it is in contact with the soil that holds the foundation of the building. As a result, water can seep into the basement through cracks or pores on the walls or floor or flow directly into the basement when it rains heavily. Studies have shown that about 98% of basements experience damage due to water intrusion at some time.

Basements that are frequently wet, humid, or flooded can experience many problems, including mold growth and structural damage. For this reason, basement waterproofing is an essential activity for any home. Below are the main benefits that you get when you waterproof your basement.

  1. Averting Basement Flooding

Various activities are carried out as part of basement waterproofing. These include installation of sump pumps, sealing foundation and basement wall cracks, installation of drainage systems, and repair and proper installation of gutters and downspouts.

All these activities help divert water away from your basement, thus ensuring that the basement does not flood in case of a heavy storm or a burst or leaking water pipe.

  1. Healthier Home Environment

By preventing seepage of water and moisture into your basement through waterproofing, you avoid the growth of mold and mildew and ensure that the basement is less humid. Mold is associated with health problems such as allergies and respiratory infections.

  1. Protection of Property

Basement waterproofing helps protect the structure of your building. When a professional contractor seals the cracks on your basement and improves the drainage around the basement, this goes a long way in protecting the building from water damage. Basement waterproofing also helps protect the basement floor from swelling and cracking due to pressure from groundwater.

By waterproofing your basement, you also prevent the damage caused by mold on surfaces such as walls, drywalls, carpets, and wooden items.

  1. Reduced Heating, Cooling, and Air Conditioning Costs

If the air in your basement is humid, you may have to use your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment for longer durations. This translates to higher energy bills. Effective basement waterproofing helps keep humidity and temperature at acceptable levels, meaning that you will spend less to regulate your home’s indoor air quality.
