Wet Basement Repair in Rockville is needed if you notice any water in your basement after it rains, as snow melts, or after a storm. Fixing the point of water entry may stop the problem in that area, but will not protect your basement from water entering somewhere else. A permanent solution is to waterproof the entire basement. A free inspection of the basement will let repair technicians know the condition of the basement, the extent of the water damage, and how many pumps are needed in the waterproofing system. You can go to website domain to set up an inspection and get information about the waterproofing system.
Basement waterproofing is done by installing a sub-floor pressure relief system that will direct water to one or more sump pumps and remove it from your home. Water from all points is redirected, so your basement stays dry regardless of how much water enters the area. After the sub-floor system is finished, a wall-cove plate is installed that allows water to flow from the foundation joints and through the new system. The trench is then concreted over to a tile ready finish. Your Wet Basement Repair in Rockville is backed by a warranty that lasts for the life of the structure, and it is transferable.
Other services include foundation repairs, crawlspace encapsulation, window drains, and stairwell drains. Cracks in the foundation occur as the house settles and can get serious if you ignore the problem. Cracks, left untreated, can expand, move up into the walls and beams of the structure, or weaken the foundation. Sealing the cracks with an epoxy or polyurethane product provides only a temporary solution. A long-term solution requires “v-grooving” the crack and sealing it with hydraulic cement. The crack is then covered with heavy duty vinyl to direct any future leaks into your pressure relief drain.
Crawlspace encapsulation consists of installing reinforced wall liners. The liners eliminate excess moisture that can promote the growth of mold and bacteria, as well as discouraging infestations of pests. The liners also make the crawlspace usable for storage, if it is big enough. Window and stairwell drains help to remove water runoff that can collect on your basement floor.
