Interior Basement Waterproofing
When water enters your basement, you must stop it immediately. When you see water in your basement, it can be a sign that there are foundation issues causing cracks for water to leak into your basement. Typically basement waterproofing issues are caused by a crack in your basement wall or water leaking through the cove joint (the point where your basement wall meets the floor). Having an interior basement waterproofing system installed in your basement makes these problems easily solvable. Our team at Maryland Basement and Crawl Space Waterproofing has experience helping homeowners deal with various basement waterproofing issues inside their homes.
We can help you identify where your basement leaks from and install an interior waterproofing system to help stop the leak at the source. Whether we are filling wall and floor cracks or installing a sump pump system, our team knows the method that will work best to stop the leak.
What Causes Interior Basement Waterproofing Issues?
Various causes can cause basement waterproofing issues, including wall and floor cracks or faulty plumbing. Our team specializes in identifying these causes and repairing these issues. When your basement has water issues, they are most likely caused by excess water in the soil around your home. As this water builds up, it seeks out other areas of low pressure. These can occur when the water outside of your foundation finds a crack or seam in your basement wall or floor that is improperly sealed. Our team can fill these cracks and provide you with a waterproofing system to expel water away from your home.
What Signs To Look For
When checking your basement for signs of water intrusion, it is important to check for the easy-to-spot signs first. Large puddles and damp basement walls are clear signs of water entering your basement from the outside. Once you have found these spots check for cracks in your basement walls and floors, it is important to note that even the smallest crack may be letting water into your basement. In addition, you can check to see if there are any large gaps in the area where your basement walls meet the floor.
Our experts are trained to identify these issues and, during any routine inspection and consultation, can point these issues out to you.
