Euclid Ohio Basement Waterproofing Systems, Foundation Repairs

Older homes in the Euclid, Ohio, area can be susceptible to basement leaks, and even foundation damage if left alone.

Water leaks in the basement is usually due to standing water outside the home. In waterproofed home, basement waterproofing systems allow that water to drain away from the home, keeping your basement walls dry.

Installing a waterproofing system is relativly simeple, and can potentially save you thousands of dollars in foundation repairs over time. Certified basement waterproofing contractors install these systems by first digging a trench around the perimeter of your home. Then, if needed, a sealant will be applied to the wall. This layer of protection helps ensure that if moisture does come in contact with the wall, no damage is done.

The main componant of a basement waterproofing system is a pipe that is installed at the bottom of the trench. The pipe is perferated, which allows water to seep into it from above. The trench is then filled with gravel or small rocks, which allows water to drain into the pipe. The pipe moves water away from the home, and your foundation stays dry.
