Water can be sneaky. It can travel where we don’t want it to, such as our homes. But don’t worry! Foundation waterproofing is a thing that protects our homes from getting swamped. Let’s learn more about it!
You could think of foundation waterproofing as putting our house in a raincoat. It prevents the foundation, the lower part of the house that holds everything else up, from getting wet. If water gets into the foundation it can do big (bad) things like cracking, molding (the nasty kind you find in your shower), and even falling down your house! That’s why we need to ensure that our foundation is waterproofed.
As we waterproof the foundation, we protect our home from water damage. That’s because we don’t have to worry about leaks, floods or mold growing inside the walls. It also helps maintain our home nice and dry so we can be warm and snug inside. And added waterproofing can save money by avoiding costly repairs down the line.
There are several methods to waterproofing a foundation. Into one outside the foundation walls is placed a special coating. This coating serves as a shield that keeps out water. Another approach is to add a drainage system around the foundation that catches and redirects water away from the house. Some people rely on special sealants or membranes that prevent water from entering through cracks.
In addition to waterproofing the foundation, there are a few other steps we can take to help ward off expensive and harmful water damage and mold from our homes. An important early move is to ensure that your gutters and downspouts are clean and functioning well, so that they can take rainwater away from the house. It is also wise to look for cracks or leaks in the walls or foundation that should be fixed immediately. And don’t overlook protecting that basement or crawl space, and keeping them dry, with a dehumidifier.
If you’ve decided to waterproof your foundation, you may be curious as to what will take place. Typically, the process involves excavating around the foundation, applying the waterproofing and backfilling. It can be a bit messy and noisy, but your home will be safe and dry. The good news is that, once waterproofing is completed, you get peace of mind that your home is safe from water damage.
