Keeping your basement or crawl space dry protects your home, and a waterproofing service prevents water damage that compromises structural integrity. Moisture accumulation can also reduce your indoor air quality, and long-term damage may impact the value of your property. At Acculevel, we specialize in durable waterproofing solutions that help protect your foundation from moisture. Here is why a professional waterproofing service is a smart investment for homeowners:
Water can ruin your home's foundation. A small leak often leads to further damage. A professional waterproofing service may begin with basement leak detection, followed by foundation crack repair to permanently seal all entry points. Basement water intrusion often results from several key factors:
Hydrostatic pressure is the force water exerts on your foundation walls. This occurs when the surrounding soil becomes saturated after heavy rainfall. The saturated soil pushes against the basement walls and floors, and the sustained pressure forces water through any existing cracks or porous spots in the concrete.
An internal system is specifically designed to manage this hydrostatic pressure. A professional foundation repair company will often use drainage systems that capture any seeping water before it reaches the basement floor. A high-capacity sump pump is also used, directing water drainage into a pump that moves it away from your foundation.
Foundation sealants are applied to the exterior or interior walls, which offer an extra layer of defense against hydrostatic pressure. These comprehensive services help eliminate pooling and seepage. They actively stabilize the moisture environment within your basement, which helps keep your home safe from the elements and protects its structural integrity.
Constant moisture leads to musty odors and promotes biological growth, which harms your home's air quality and often spreads throughout your living space via floor vents. Unmanaged water accumulation also leads to structural decay. This moisture intrusion causes floor joists and subfloors to rot.
A professional foundation repair company uses specialized equipment to find the source of the moisture intrusion. They repair those leaks and cracks permanently. They may also apply targeted treatments to eliminate any existing biological growth and clean affected wood surfaces. At Acculevel, we address root moisture problems and eliminate musty odors to actively prevent biological growth from developing in your basement.
