Can You Seal Basement Walls From Water?
Yes, you can. Many homeowners choose to seal their basement walls, especially when the walls are cracked and creating leaks. Families often store their keepsakes in their basements, and a leak could put those mementos at risk. Having water in your basement can also lead to structural problems and dangerous mold growth, both of which you want to avoid. Plus, basement leaks can increase humidity within the home, which can in turn place unnecessary strain on your HVAC system. Basement waterproofing can prevent all of these problems from occurring, along with many others.
Other Basement Waterproofing Methods
Wall seals are an excellent option for homeowners with cracked basement walls, but there are a number of other ways to keep your basement dry, as well:
- Drainage systems
- Sump pumps
- Dehumidifiers
