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

Basement waterproofing and Crawlspace encapsulation is often essential to protect your property by providing the relief of the incredibly damaging effects of hydrostatic pressure bearing against the foundation walls of your property. Floors are also susceptible to hydrostatic pressure and may also be alleviated with the relief provided by a basement waterproofing system, sometimes called a drain tile waterproofing application.

Basement Waterproofing, Wet Westchester

Weather patterns have invited unprecedented levels of water into the ground throughout Westchester County, NY, and surrounding areas. Basements have been inundated with water as soils are saturated and cannot percolate quickly enough to offset the heavy levels of water. 

As far as Statewide Basement Systems is concerned, our homes need to be protected. The interior perimeter system is very popular to stem water intrusion due to high water tables and hydrostatic pressure because we can gauge the water levels based on damage and various indicators present inside and outside the homes foundation. 

In New York, Dutchess, Orange, and Westchester counties have been hit considerably hard, with NYC and Long Island, naturally at the too of the list.

Fairfield county, Connecticut, has also seen vast damage. In addition to more obvious areas yo be greatly effected along the coast, during Hurricane Sandy,many of the interior saw considerable water intrusions in foundation walls and crawlspaces.

If you are in need of Professional Waterproofing and Crawlspace Encapsulation Services Call Statewide Basement Systems Today. We would love to hear from you. 845 635 3040

Hydrostatic Pressure, Rainfall, & Basement Waterproofing

http://www.StatewideBasements.com

The rainfall has finally backed off for the day, well this part I the day at least. It has been an unofficial deluge in New York and Connecticut basements the past few days.

The sump pumps and generators can be heard protecting the many homes protected by basement waterproofing systems and back up generators. The ground becomes inundated with water and can no longer percolate properly. The hydrostatic pressure then builds against the foundation floor and walls and exerts itself against our homes, until it finally makes its way inside.

And then, the problems really begin. Water damage left for more than 24 hours can really begin to cause problems.

If you have been effected by water damage and want to resolve the problem once and for all, Call the Basement Waterproofing Professionals at Statewide Basement Systems. 845-635-3040
