Do You Need a Home Waterproofing Solution?

We understand the stress of never knowing the next time your basement or crawlspace will be swamped with groundwater. Whether you’ve tried to fix these problems on your own or this is the first time you’re experiencing it, ’58 Foundations & Waterproofing has the waterproofing solution for your home.

Whether it’s a wet basement or a damp crawlspace, these lower level problems should be addressed promptly. This is to avoid further complications and costly repairs. Given enough time, water and excess moisture can invite other problems including mold growth and wood rot. Water damage to stored belongings and equipment can also occur in these situations.

Below you’ll see what kind of common water-related problems basements and crawlspaces may experience.

Basement Waterproofing

From the cold joints in your concrete foundation to cracks in your basement wall or floor, there are different ways that water can invade your basement. Fortunately, they can be spotted if you know what to look out for. Here are some of the common basement waterproofing problems that you may encounter if you’re having a wet basement situation…

Common Basement Waterproofing Problems

• Water seepage where the concrete floor slab meets the basement wall
• Water leaking through cracks in the floor
• Dampness or wetness on the basement wall
• Pooling or puddles of standing water
• Increased humidity

Even if no water is present in the basement when you check, if you detect efflorescence on your foundation walls or floor, then you may have a water leak or a moisture problem.

Crawlspace Waterproofing

Just like basements, crawlspaces can also suffer from water intrusion and excess moisture. What’s more, vented crawlspaces don’t always work as intended. In areas with humid climates such as North Carolina and South Carolina, vented crawlspaces can become traps for humidity and moisture. This is all on top of what else can happen, such as the crawlspace problems below…

Common Crawlspace Waterproofing Problems

• Water seepage through a foundation crack or hole
• Dampness or wetness on the cement block itself
• Pooling or puddles of standing water
• Increased humidity
