Should I Waterproof My Basement?

Basement waterproofing is a long-lasting solution to the age-old problem of basement flooding. If you find yourself walking downstairs to a flooded basement after a thunderstorm and are tired of paying for restoration services, it’s time to invest in basement waterproofing. Why is basement waterproofing a great choice for so many Maryland and Washington, D.C. area homeowners?

What Does Basement Waterproofing Do?

Professional basement waterproofing keeps water from entering your basement. Some of the biggest benefits of professional basement waterproofing include:

• A clean, dry living space that you can use without fear of flooding
• Added square footage to your home if you choose to finish your basement and add carpeting
• Not needing to spend money on water damage restoration after large storms
• Prevent small amounts of moisture from the humid climate from entering your basement
• Stopping mold and mildew growth
• Increasing the value of your home if you put it on the market

Why Is Water in the Basement a Bad Thing?

Some homeowners are so used to basement flooding that they are no longer bothered by it. They expect it every time a big storm hits and take care of it with a shop vac and some old towels. However, basement flooding is anything but good for your home and family. Basement flooding can lead to:

• Cracked and damaged walls
• The slow sinking of your home due to foundation damage
• Ruined basement flooring
• Mold growth
• Mildew
• A musty smell
• Bowed walls that will make your home legally unlivable

As you can tell, basement waterproofing is a serious business. Any water that has accumulated in your basement should be taken seriously and removed as quickly as possible.
