Spring Rains = Basement Waterproofing

March 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Rainfall has been relentless this spring and last summer, causing rivers to flood their banks and water to saturate the soil. The ground surrounding your house becomes over-saturated, the moisture can start to leak into your basement causing problems.

If you already have damage, you probably will need to hire a professional  basement waterproofing  (http://www.everdry.com) company such as Everdry Waterproofing to excavate around your house and/or install exterior basement waterproofing. This can be expensive, but the process is designed to remove any hydrostatic pressure from around your basement walls - caused by a buildup of water in the soil surrounding your house - which can help to stop structural damage and prevent future leaking.

Even if you don't go into your basement on a frequent basis, you should monitor the walls and flooring for water damage. Left untreated, the damage could cause flooding, structural instability or even the build up of mold and mildew - causing health problems and a murky odor.

Check your basement walls and flooring today for signs of water damage - especially since the snow melt and rains have been especially prevalent this year across the nation.
