“Basement Waterproofing has done work for us at our Canterbury Woods development. We were so satisfied with the results of their work the first time that we did not hesitate to call on them a second time when we were experiencing water problems in two other units.”– Louis S. Swarthmore , PA

“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.
