• •A recent survey* of 33,000 new home owners revealed that 44% had leaky, wet basements
  • Most common problem home inspectors find in homes less than 12 years old is basement leaks**

Why to consider waterproofing?

  • •Dry, finished basements can boost resale value
  • Increased thermal efficiency and reduced utility bills
  • More usable living space
  • Healthier home environment
•

 Leaks:
  • Foundations crack over time – creating a place for water to easily penetrate the wall
Condensation:
  • Like a sweaty glass on a summer day, water vapor condenses on the inside of the foundation/basement wall when warm, humid air in the basement comes in contact with the cold surface
Seepage:
  • Underground water reacts to hydrostatic pressure – this constant pressure can cause water to seep through even crack-free, damp-proofed foundations
