“Of all of the improvements I have made on my home since 1947, the best was getting my basement waterproofed by BWN in 1997. Prior to their work I had water flowing over the basement floor and squirting from the cement block walls. Since the BWN waterproofing I haven’t had a drop of water come into the basement.”– W. W.Wilmington , DE
“For over 18 years I’ve had a problem with water leaking into the basement level of my office building. After having several companies attempt to solve the problem at a large expense, I became very frustrated…I called your company. It’s been almost a year and I have no sign of any leaks!” – Robert P. , Baltimore , MD
What are the Very Best Ideas for Waterproofing
Basement Walls?
Waterproofing basement walls
can be a hard treatment, however there are a couple of ideas to make the
project more successful. Before beginning any work on the interior walls, make
particular that rainwater overflow is sufficiently receded from the basement
area. Patch all cracks and holes in the basement walls should before using a
waterproof coating. If possible, cover the whole wall with a thin layer of
hydraulic cement to further seal out moisture. An application of crystalline
waterproofing material followed by 2 coats of waterproof paint normally
produces the best results.
Efficiently waterproofing
basement walls commonly requires specific preventive measures to be taken
outside of the property. Examine that all storm water overflow is directed far
from the basement location by setting up roofing system rain gutters and
downspouts. A downspout extension pipeline might be should clear the gutters
away from the structure. Another way to divert runoff is to carefully slope the
dirt away from the basement location. It may likewise be required to install a
French drain system alongside the foundation to accumulate excess water.
The specialized layers
utilized for waterproofing basement walls work best on clean, smooth surfaces.
Old paint ought to be scraped, sanded, or removed to provide the best possible
seal. Holes and cracks must be filled of an epoxy patch product prior to
applying covering. Force the repair work material into deep space with a putty
knife to avoid air pockets. Allow the repair works to heal totally before using
the water-resistant finish.
Using a thin layer of
hydraulic cement to the entire surface will help seal out wetness when
waterproofing basement walls. This material broadens as it dries out and covers
small holes and irregularities in the surface area. Hydraulic cement could be
used alone or with a crystalline waterproofing product. This specialized
material is a penetrating sealer that works its method into the pores of the
wall to shut out moisture. Crystalline waterproofing product works best when
used to uncured hydraulic cement.
After all of the walls have
actually been appropriately ready, use two coats of latex water-resistant paint
to the entire surface. Latex waterproofing paints typically adhere much better
to moist surfaces. Lightly mist the walls with water prior to and after each
coat of waterproof paint. Use a stiff brush to spread out the paint in a circular
motion and permit a minimum of 24 hours of drying out time between each coat.
Use additional paint at the edges and base of the walls to prevent spaces in
protection.
