Winter and Basement Waterproofing

Winter weather can be enjoyable but not when it causes basement flooding due to snow thaw.

Many times the ground is saturated around the foundation or building envelope and water is pressed into small capillaries in the ground during a process called "hydrostatic pressure."

Basement waterproofing can alleviate this pressure and provide you and your family with the healthy useable space you have always wanted. In addition, you can have Statewide Basement Systems apply Energy saving spray foam insulation into your home providing comfort and reducing heating and cooling costs.

Protecting Property: Water Damage,Mold, Energy Savings, BasementWaterproofing

Protecting Your Property from Water and Energy Loss

Are we safe from floods and water intrusions in the winter months? 

We must be safe...is a commonly held misconception. 
The fact is we are not protected from water intrusions, in our homes simply because of the beautiful and cold winter weather we enjoy in the Northeastern United States. 
Basement waterproofing, Crawlspace Encapsulation, Spray Foam Insulation, in addition to restoration and remodeling services are popular, although not always welcome, Home Improvement services, during the winter months. 

Much planning and preparation goes into the remodeling process. There are times when an underlying and pressing challenge, (rotting floor joists due to water damage, for example) is discovered at an inopportune time, such as the holidays, and the process of remediation and remodeling is thrust into action, with an understandably palpable sense of urgency. Who wants to be left without a kitchen, especially during the holidays? 
The acumen of the experienced professional is always greatly appreciated during these unusual and disruptive times.

Spray Foam greatly reduces home Heating & Cooling Costs
