Basement waterproofing will preserve or increase the value of your home and provide health benefits as well. ABT is a leader in basement waterproofing services in Northeast Wisconsin. The designs of our Dry Right™ Systems were based on our experience and knowledge. Our technicians are trained weekly, updating their skills to current building codes, standards, and basement waterproofing methods.
The basement waterproofing systems at ABT Foundation Solutions, Inc. are designed to provide you with a wide range of benefits for your home. These include:
Increases the structural integrity of your home. If water is allowed to leak into the concrete, it weakens the structure, which may result in severe deterioration of your foundation and lead to costly foundation repairs. Basement waterproofing, done properly, ensures that water isn’t permitted to leak into and sit around the foundation of your house.
Can stop the development of health issues. This process isn’t completed just for your home’s health; it is good for you and your family’s health as well. If water pools up in your home, mold can grow. Having your basement watertight will get rid of moisture and keep the indoor air healthy.
Retains the value of your investment. Your home is probably your greatest investment. If water enters your house and causes damage, your home’s value could decrease. With basement waterproofing, you are keeping your investment at its best value.
Protect your possessions from water damage. Consider the damage that could take place if water leaks in your basement. Don’t let this happen to you. A watertight basement keeps your possessions safe and sound.
Enables you to add livable space to your home. Basement waterproofing is the starting point for turning your basement into livable space. This can add hundreds of square feet to your house, giving your family more space and increasing the value of your property.
To put it simply, basement waterproofing is something all homeowners should take seriously. Contact us to learn more about this process or to get an estimate.
Even if you don’t have basement wall cracks, water on your basement floor or seeping through the walls, dampness, staining, and efflorescence (white powder) are all signs that your home needs a better water control system.
Some homes have been built with drain tile around the foundation. This drainage system funnels rain, ground water, and melting snow through the tile to a floor drain or a sump pump system in your basement. Over the years, dirt, tree roots, and other debris have clogged the drain tile and prevented it from functioning properly, resulting in water in your basement.
Whether you need a new drain tile system installation or an existing tile system needs to be repaired, ABT Foundation Solutions, Inc. can create a dry and comfortable environment for your home without compromising the integrity of your foundation. By installing our Dry Right II™ Water System inside your basement, you can have a waterproof basement with no exterior digging.
Sometimes a basement seepage problem needs to be taken care of outside of the home through exterior waterproofing systems. Interior basement waterproofing through interior drains is effective if the moisture problem is a result of a leaky cove joint (where the wall meets the floor), or from leaking floor cracks. However, if there’s a problem with clogged window well drains, exterior cracks, or yard flooding, then an outside system may be the most effective solution.
For basement waterproofing from the exterior, we can install drain tile next to the footing and use a dampproofing tar material on the outside of the foundation walls. We can then install a Platon wallboard over the foundation. To finish, we will backfill to grade with stone or install a clay cap. We recommend that you place a plastic or rubber membrane on top of the stone or clay cap, and then lay wood chips or decorative stone for an attractive finish.
Wisconsin homeowners often don’t realize that water is getting into their basement because the gutter downspout doesn’t extend far enough out from the building. If the downspout extensions are too short and too close to the foundation, water will eventually seep into the soil and into your home. ABT will check to see if you need to install downspout extensions.
If your lawn floods when it rains or when there’s melting snow on the property, you may need to improve the grading. We can provide you with re-grading solutions to solve the problem and help waterproof your basement in Northeast Wisconsin.
