Why is a wet basement bad?

A wet basement can cause structural damage to your home by weakening the foundation over time. It creates an environment for mould and mildew, which can affect indoor air quality and pose health risks. Persistent moisture can also damage stored belongings and reduce the overall value of your property. Left unaddressed, a wet basement may lead to expensive repairs and reduce your home’s energy efficiency due to damp conditions.

How long does it take to waterproof a basement?

The time required to waterproof a basement depends on the size of the basement and the extent of the problem. On average, it can take anywhere from 1 to 3 days. For larger spaces or more complex issues, the process could take longer.

faq 3

How long should basement waterproofing last?

Basement waterproofing, when done correctly, can last for decades. A high-quality waterproofing system should last at least 10 to 20 years, and often much longer if properly maintained. Regular inspections and maintenance can help ensure the waterproofing system continues to function effectively.

How do you finish a basement after waterproofing?

After waterproofing, you can safely finish your basement by adding insulation, framing, and drywall. It’s important to choose water-resistant materials, such as vinyl flooring or moisture-resistant drywall, to prevent future issues. Once the walls and flooring are installed, you can add any final touches, like painting or installing fixtures, to create a functional living space.
