Basement Waterproofing 101; Winter Protection
Basement waterproofing in the cold,harsh New York and Connecticut winter weather is crucial when contending with water damage from thawing snows, powerful rain, and flooding that can be downright deadly.Basement Waterproofing tips from Statewide Basement Systems can be put into practice to avoid the need for basement waterproofing if you are fortunate, or perhaps to stem the tide a bit, or require Water Damage Restoration Services.
1. It is very important to avoid basement flooding or water damage from occurring due to poorly installed gutter systems.
2. Ensure the leader pipes extending downward along the corners of the home are pointed away from the foundation. This can sometimes lead to increased water around the foundation walls, increasing hydrostatic pressure.
3. Look around the house. If your basement is flooding, cinder block walls are leaking, or poured foundation walls are showing signs of dampness, check this out.
Inspect the grading of soil around perimeter of foundation and check for slope. Grade away from the home to avoid water traveling toward the foundation and causing basement water intrusions, flooding, and the need for professional water damage restoration services.
