Bowed basement walls

A dry, secure basement is essential for the structural integrity and health of your home. Sundahl Waterproofing, serving New York and Connecticut, specializes in comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions designed to protect your property from water damage, mold growth, and structural issues.

Understanding the Importance of Basement Waterproofing

Basements are particularly susceptible to water intrusion due to their below-ground construction. Factors such as hydrostatic pressure, surface water accumulation, and foundation cracks can lead to moisture seepage, resulting in:

• Structural Damage: Persistent water exposure can weaken your home’s foundation, leading to cracks and potential structural failure.

   

• Mold and Mildew Growth: Damp environments foster mold and mildew, posing health risks to occupants.

   

• Decreased Property Value: Water-damaged basements can reduce your home’s market value and deter potential buyers.

1. 1. Sealant Injections: Utilizing high-quality epoxy or polyurethane, cracks and gaps in basement walls are sealed to prevent water ingress.

       

   2. Interior Drainage Systems: Installation of interior weeping tiles or perimeter drains effectively channels water to a sump pump, ensuring it is safely expelled from your home.

       

   3. Waterproof Coatings: Application of durable waterproof coatings to interior walls creates an impermeable barrier against moisture.
