Our Waterproofing Process
1. Initial Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your basement's moisture issues and structural condition. Our certified technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify water entry points and problem areas.
We measure humidity levels and check for signs of previous water damage, efflorescence, or mold growth. This data helps us determine the severity of the issue and appropriate solutions.
Each assessment includes detailed documentation of cracks, joints, and vulnerable areas that require special attention during waterproofing.
2. Preparation and Repairs
We thoroughly clean the basement floor surface using industrial equipment to remove dirt, debris, and loose material. Any existing coatings or sealants are stripped to ensure proper adhesion.
All cracks wider than 1/8 inch are filled with hydraulic cement. We repair damaged joints and seal pipe penetrations using professional-grade materials.
The concrete surface is etched or shot-blasted when needed to create an optimal bonding surface for the waterproofing system.
3. Waterproofing Application
We apply a primary coat of penetrating concrete sealer to strengthen the floor substrate. This creates a strong foundation for the main waterproofing membrane.
The waterproof membrane is applied in multiple layers using commercial-grade products rated for below-grade use. Each coat is carefully measured for proper thickness.
Critical areas like corners and joints receive reinforcement fabric between coats for extra protection against water infiltration.
4. Quality Inspection and Finishing
Our quality control process includes thickness testing of the waterproof membrane at multiple points. We verify complete coverage and proper curing of all materials.
We perform water testing to confirm the effectiveness of the waterproofing system. Any areas requiring touch-ups are addressed immediately.
The finished surface is inspected for appearance and consistency. We provide detailed documentation of the completed work and maintenance recommendations.
Benefits of Waterproofing Your Basement Floor
Water seepage through basement floors can severely weaken your home's foundation over time. When moisture penetrates concrete, it can cause cracks and deterioration that compromise structural stability.
We use advanced waterproofing systems that create an impermeable barrier against groundwater infiltration. This protection prevents concrete degradation and reinforces your foundation's strength.
The waterproof membrane we install helps distribute hydrostatic pressure evenly across the floor surface. This reduces stress points that could lead to cracking or settling.
Protects Structural Integrity
Customized Maintenance Plans
Basement moisture creates ideal conditions for harmful mold and mildew to thrive. These fungi can damage building materials and pose serious health risks to your family.
Professional waterproofing eliminates the moisture source that enables mold growth. Our solutions include vapor barriers that prevent condensation from forming on floor surfaces.
Regular inspection of waterproofed floors helps identify any issues before mold can establish itself. We recommend annual checks to maintain optimal protection.
A dry basement floor significantly improves the usability and comfort of your below-grade space. Waterproofing reduces humidity levels throughout your basement area.
Better moisture control means fewer musty odors traveling up through your home. Your HVAC system works more efficiently when it doesn't have to manage excess basement humidity.
The controlled environment creates opportunities for finishing your basement as additional living space. Waterproofing protects flooring materials like carpet, wood, and vinyl from moisture damage.
