Basement Waterproofing: Why a Closed Pressure Relief System Is Best - Kings County, NY

Are you considering basement waterproofing systems for your home? You will be bombarded with information on various systems. The truth is that the specific factors affecting your basement will determine the most suitable system for you.

If you’re considering having a system to relieve hydro-static pressure installed, it is recommended that you choose a closed one. A closed pressure relief system will:

1. Keep Soil Gases Out

Soil gases such as radon are harmful. Radon in particular is associated with various forms of cancer. These gases can make their way into your home through an open pressure relief system. Installing a closed system will ensure that these gases remain in the soil and out of your home.

2. Protect Your Home From A Pest And Insect Infestation

Many pests and insects thrive in dark and damp environments. A pressure relief system is therefore the perfect environment for them. They can therefore find their way through the system into your home and cause an infestation. You can protect your home from an infestation by installing a closed system.

3. Prevent Moisture Build-Up In Your Home

Stack effect results in the rise of moisture from the lower parts of the home to the upper parts. Water that has evaporated from an open system is therefore likely to be carried to other parts of the home where it will cause havoc. A closed system ensures that moisture is kept within the system. Your home will remain dry.

4. Prevent The Drawing Of Ground Humidity

An open system means that the ground below the slab is exposed to the inside of the basement. This means that the conditions of the soil will be affected by what occurs in the basement. If you install a dehumidifier to keep humidity levels in the home low, the dehumidifier is likely to draw moisture from the soil. This will cause the soil under the slab to be dry resulting in the sinking of the slab.

5. Ensure Lower Heating And Cooling Bills

Heating and cooling a home with an open system is much harder because of the high levels of humidity resulting from water that evaporates into the air from the system. A closed system keeps moisture within the system. You won’t have to use much energy to heat a home with a closed system.

It’s important to use a professional basement waterproofing contractor for the installation of your closed pressure relief system. This will ensure that you enjoy the benefits of the system for longer.
