Waterproofing for Windsor-Area Basements
Because a home is usually one of the biggest investments an individual will make during his or her lifetime, it stands to reason that protecting that investment is a pretty big priority to most. Canadian weather can be pretty harsh. If you’re interested in waterproofing your basement against the unpredictable elements Mother Nature has in store for you this year, Ingratta Cement & Drainage Inc. has you covered. We provide effective waterproofing for Windsor and Essex County residents just like you. We repair your foundation walls and apply protective wall membranes to allow for effective waterproofing.
The Difference Waterproofing Makes
The Difference Waterproofing Makes
Exterior waterproofing is the first and the foremost defence against water and consists of gutters and downspouts that collect water and lead it away from your residence. This is why it is very important to always keep your gutters clean. Another important aspect of exterior waterproofing consists of a waterproof membrane, which is installed around the foundation of your home to lock the moisture in such a way that the concrete doesn’t absorb, crack, or allow leaks. After this comes the exterior drainage system. This system can call for some work, as it requires excavation along the foundation of the home.
Drain tiles are installed on the trench around the home, enclosed by gravel and then the entire system is concealed with soil. The drain tiles will now carry water away from the foundation before it has a chance to cause seepage or enter the basement. Although this method does involve the excavation process, it can be well worth it. Exterior waterproofing efficiently seals water from getting close to the foundation of your home. When your foundation remains dry, it doesn’t get weak or damaged and won’t crack and allow water leaks inside your basement or your home.
Prevent Mould by Waterproofing Your Home
Another thing waterproofing helps you prevent: mould. Over time, flooding and leaks can cause the right conditions for mould to grow and colonize. Mould not only looks nasty, but it can also have some serious health risks because it creates allergens in your environment, which can in turn cause allergic reactions among your home’s occupants. And once mould has become an issue, you’ll probably end up spending more money to have a professional mould remediation company come in and rid your house of the mould. All costs that you likely could have avoided by effectively waterproofing your home in the first place.
