What causes water damage to your basement?

There are many reasons why your basement may be leaking. One of the most common causes is cracks in the foundation. These cracks can be caused by a number of things, such as:

  • Shrinking or settling soil
  • Poorly compacted fill dirt
  • Improperly installed gutters and downspouts
  • Hydrostatic pressure from the outside

All of these factors can contribute to water seeping into your basement walls. If you have any of these problems, it’s important to get them fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

How can waterproofing help?

Waterproofing your basement can help to prevent water damage by creating a barrier between your home and the outside water. There are a number of different ways to waterproof your basement, such as:

  •         Installing an interior drainage system
  •         Exterior waterproofing
  •         Applying a waterproof sealant to the walls

Basement waterproofing involves covering relevant surfaces with a waterproof membrane which is similar to liquid rubber or waterproof paint, but which has been specially designed to provide maximum waterproof protection. Also, ensuring sufficient ventilation is crucial in waterproofing Melbourne properties, as it helps to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth, thus preserving the structural integrity of the building and maintaining a healthy indoor environment. All of these methods can help to keep your basement dry and free from water damage. If you’re not sure which method is best for your home, our team of experts can help you choose the right one.

Interior drainage system installation

Your property's basement interior can be waterproofed by installing an interior drainage system. The system will collect the basement water leaks through the walls and floor and redirect it to a sump pump. The sump pump will then remove the water from your property so that it can't cause any damage.

Exterior waterproofing

Exterior waterproofing is a process of waterproofing the outside of your property. This can be done by installing an underground waterproofing membrane or by applying a waterproof sealant to the outside of your property. Exterior waterproofing also involves protecting external walls from water infiltration, which helps to prevent structural damage and maintain the integrity of your property over time.

Applying a waterproof sealant

Waterproof sealants can be applied to the walls and floors of your basement to create a water-resistant barrier. This will help to prevent water from seeping through the walls and causing damage.

Waterproofing Sealant Options

Waterproofing your basement with a sealant is a great way to keep it dry and free from water damage. There are a number of different waterproofing sealants on the market, such as:

  • Silicone-based sealants
