Wet Basement Warning Signs
There are a variety of wet basement warning signs and symptoms that may pop up around your home, but most can be found in your basement or crawl space. Wet basements, basement flooding, cracking foundation walls and floors, and even bowing walls can all be found in your foundation. These are all signs that show the need for basement waterproofing. All of these are easily taken care of by Jerry’s Waterproofing.
Wet basements and basement flooding can both be taken care of by sump pumps and basement drainage and can be prevented in the future by installing vapor barriers. Sump pumps will help to divert water out and away from your basement or crawl space, the basement drainage will help to remove water as well. Vapor barriers will help to keep water out in the future. Vapor barriers are a sheet of strong material that will guard your basement or crawl space from moisture. This means no mold or mildew, pests, or moisture will be allowed to ruin your basement.
Cracks and bowing walls can be taken care of by crack injection and helical piers. Crack injection is a process in which a substance is injected into the crack, the substance will expand to keep water from leaking in. Helical piers will help you to straighten out the bulging and bowing walls from water pressure.
Keeping track of these signs will help to keep the value of your home up and keep your home safe from water damage. Jerry’s Waterproofing can help you with all your basement waterproofing needs in Nebraska and Iowa. Give us a call today!
