Aqua Tech Waterproofing Advises Customers on How to Prevent Water Damage from Seasonal Fall Rain

Aqua Tech Waterproofing urges homeowners to beware the damaging effects that can result from heavy rains. Their team of experts have a new list of waterproofing ideas to keep water out and prevent expensive repairs from water damage.
 
YORK REGION, Ontario - Oct. 7, 2014 - PRLog -- With major storm systems looming in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, heavy winds and rains could pose a threat to homeowners in the coming months. Basement flooding is a potential side effect in the aftermath of severe rainstorms, and Aqua Tech Waterproofing reminds homeowners of the importance of waterproofing their houses to avoid costly foundation repairs. The waterproofing experts at Aqua Tech Waterproofing emphasize the importance of taking preventive measures to keep water out of the house and away from valuable internal property.

"Rain levels in Ontario have been extreme and have caused flooding in several regions," says Andrew Heyworth, owner of Aqua Tech Waterproofing. Unstable atmospheric conditions and cool breezes from Lake Ontario resulted in the severe thunderstorms that battered the area this summer, and seasonal fall rains and lingering hurricanes mean the risks of water damage are still present.

Water leaks in the basement can cause cracked walls, water-logged furniture and carpets, and structural damage to a home's foundation. Homes in areas that experience significant rain or tend to have excess moisture in the basement have an increased risk of water damage and the need for major house repairs.

One waterproofing technique homeowners should consider is installing a French drain system. This method directs water from above and below the ground away from the home through a system of underground pipes. This prevents water from pooling up against the foundation, which can lead to costly water damage.

Exterior waterproofing is also a key component of keeping a basement dry. This includes sealing any holes in exterior walls and windows, covering exterior wells with window well covers to prevent them from collecting water, and ensuring that gutter systems are working properly. It is important to clear gutters of any debris that might have built up over time to keep water flowing. Homeowners should check to make sure that gutters are pointed away from the foundation. If water is draining from the gutters into the area around the house, water can seep into the basement and cause damage.

"The key to avoiding extensive water damage in homes is to prevent water leaks in the first place," adds Heyworth. "Don't wait for the rain to come to start thinking about waterproofing."
