Water Entering Basement: Protecting Your Home and Contents

Protecting Your Home from Water entering the Basement

Protecting your home from water intrusion and the resulting damages is the most important preventative measure homeowners take to ensure the safety and health of their homes and families. 

At Statewide Basement Systems http://www.statewidebasements.com
you can find our contact info and call us for additional information and strategies for your home or property.

One of the problems faced by many are the continual dampness or water leaks and intrusions into the home which provide a wet environment in which molds grow and proliferate very easily and quickly. 

Organic matter will provide sustenance for the growth of mild colonies and must be removed to prevent the further growth and spread of the mold. In addition, once the mold is disturbed it can become airborne and naturally travel throughout the home effecting (IAQ) Indoor Air Quality. The spread of airborne spores can also be quickened through mechanical means as it is pushed through the ductwork in the home.

SNOW & BASEMENT & CRAWLSPACE WATER LEAKS

Uwanted water leaking into our home is frustrating to say the least. In addition, this winter has already proven to be a formidable one. The problem for many unprotected homeowners is waiting to get hit with a deluge of ground water as the snow melts. 

Look at it out the window. Innocent enough, right? Picturesque even. 
A Winter Wonderland?

Imagine the thousands of gallons of that white water just sitting around & on top of our homes, just waiting for the slightest bit of sun to begin making its way into the ground and through the foundation,  covering the entire floor with water, wicking up through the Sheetrock, destroying paper & organic goods, ruining finished living space, or increasing humidity to unhealthy levels. In addition a wet or damp basement disrupts our busy lives and flow of the household. And if you were considering selling and moving, that is a real burden. Prospective buyers are very apprehensive about wet and damp basements and crawlspaces.

The possibility of toxic mold being present scares anyone. The idea that your wet basement is a recurring problem, that you're trying to unload on them to deal with every time it rains, is a scenario they would just as soon pass on.
As the freshly melted snow percolates into the earth, the idyllic winter scene around your home begins to change.

Slowly the foundation walls begin to feel the hydrostatic pressure, the concrete slab resists for a time, but it's futile. The concrete is after all, porous.
The earthen crawlspace gradually becomes muddy & wet. In short order, foul smells emanate from the wet, damp basement and crawlspace that lie below the living space. The Indoor Air Quality has been altered. Extra storage space now compromised. Laundry rooms, kids play rooms, pool room, "man" caves, etc. compromised.

What an unpleasant scenario. Fortunately, there is a solution in Statewide Basement Systems,Inc., located in NY and serving Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, and Ulster Counties, and Faitfield County, CT.

No wonder so many people throughout the Hudson Valley, NY & CT, continue to rely on Statewide Basement Systems to provide professional Basement Waterproofing solutions to make their home dry & healthy.

Waterproofing Basement & Foundations

Fall rains can be relaxing and soothing to listen to while relaxing near a crackling fire or enjoying the magnificent views of the Fall foliage of the Hudson River Valley. But if water infiltrates your homes foundation walls, it quickly loses its allure. 

Often times, the water that percolates down through the soil surrounding a home's foundation, will not immediately pose a problem to the foundation walls or the basements concrete slab. 

Over time, however, the damaging effects can quietly build unnoticed and travel through capillary action occurring below grade level. The water travels toward the low points of the home. Enough hydrostatic pressure is produced to permeate the slab and or the walls or even the soil in a cellar or boiler room and humidity levels begin to increase. 

"No problem" you might say. I'll buy a dehumidifier. Now you begin to pay to run the unit and it is drawing the water through the concrete walls and floor faster than it was before.

Installing a professional Basement Waterproofing System is not only a necessary healthful home improvement it is a value added improvement to your home.

Home Inspections 101: Mold, Water, & Basement Waterproofing


















Our grandparents dealt with asbestos, parents, and radon when buying a home. Those are still factors but today we have mold to contend with when purchasing a property. The countless examples of health ailments and even fatalities related to mold exposure are terribly disconcerting.

The basement waterproofing system, aka "drain-tile system" installed by Statewide Basement Systems, will provide a proper solution for water & moisture problems in the crawlspace & basement. 

When soils have been taxed to the point where the soils ability to percolate at a fairly quick pace the groundwater naturally goes to the next available area offering the least resistance. Since cement is porous and many of our homes' foundations are sub-grade, they provide an obvious place to infiltrate.

The pressure continues to build in a particularly "wet" event (rainstorm or snow thaw), hence, a more forceful pressure is exerted against the foundation or buildings footprint.

Crawlspaces are sometimes overlooked 
by home inspectors, so be sure your inspector has 
done a thorough inspection and you are fully informed. 
Nobody likes surprises, especially after the purchase of a 
property. 

Other questions you might want to ask: 

Is the work guaranteed? 

How long has the company been in business? 

Do you have the necessary insurance to perform the work on my home?

Perhaps obvious questions to many, but some folks still do not ask these basic questions of their Home Inspectors.

If you have a question we can help with please call us at 845-635-8084.
