Dealing with a troublesome leaking basement in Lafayette? This issue could be the start of a larger problem.

These issues can be a common nuisance in the Midwest, where weather conditions frequently turn rainy and can cause a host of water troubles for homeowners. Fortunately, our dedicated basement repair experts can help. Read on to learn more about how our team at Acculevel can repair a basement with such leaks to help you get back to living your life without the worries that a wet basement can bring.

Acculevel’s Basement Repair Procedure

Before you learn how water leaks are fixed, it is important to gain an understanding of what usually causes them. The heavy warm-weather rainfall and melting snow at the end of winter that Lafayette often experiences can cause the ground under your foundation to weaken. This weakening may result in leaks and flooding in your home’s basement. If the ground continues to soften, your foundation may sink, your walls may bow or other damage to your home’s structure could occur. It is important to call an experienced contractor as soon as you notice a leak for repair help. Addressing an issue immediately helps to stop the progression of any damage from the water. Here are the solutions we use at Acculevel to properly address these issues and get your basement dry once again:

Water Removal With Sump Pumps: If a great deal of water has entered your home – and you do not want to deal with it over and over again in the future -we can install a top-of-the-line sump pump system that includes backup safeties in the case of a power or mechanical failure and that drains water at impressive rates. We recommend that every homeowner install a sump pump with a second, battery-operated pump located within the sump liner to help in these situations. All of our battery backups are reliable and some of our systems come with alarms that alert you of a pump failure so you can address the issue before a flood occurs. We have three different, powerful sump pump options to meet various homeowners’ budgets and needs: An A/C Backup model, a D/C Backup model and our most advanced system, the Heavy Duty Sump Pump System. Contact us to learn more about each one and to see what system might be the right option for you.

Redirection With Geo Channeling: Acculevel’s Geo Channel system can be placed on top of or next to your foundation’s footing. It directs water away from the floor or wall joint and the area under the center of the basement floor. It has a layer of unwoven fabric that filters soil and other kinds of debris from the flowing water. This allows for the prevention of clogging and also lets the water flow at optimal levels.

If you should also notice mold or mildew growth in your basement, our team may utilize Acculevel’s mold treatment and prevention coating to remedy the situation. We use a water-based coating that is fungicidal and can treat and prevent mold, mildew, bacteria and other types of fungal growth. The ideal basement waterproofing process will include this sealant process and works on most unconditioned basements.

To find out if one of these solutions or a different option is right for your situation, contact Acculevel for your free in-home inspection. We will be better able to figure out your home’s needs in order to provide you with the best solution to your basement leakage.
