Basement waterproofing
My wife and I have been going nuts over our basement. Every time it rains, the basement gets wet. We have tried a waterproofing service that guaranteed to plug up the leaks, and it did, but we just keep getting more leaks! There are so many different Basement Waterproofing Methods and we have not quite figured out the best one for us to use. We were researching on the Internet and found out about a great service called the B-Dry system that we’d really like to use, but they don’t have a franchise that services our area, so we’re disappointed because it sounds like they would do a really great job of waterproofing our basement.
They have a solution system that they call B-Dry that was patented in 1986. It was developed specifically for treating wet basements. They use a sealer process that seals the wall leaks, the leaks at the floor wall joint, leakage coming up through floor joints or cracks, and wall leaks in stone basements. They install a drainage system and sump pump inside the basement below the surface of the concrete floor, which reduces the pressure that causes water leakage. The sump pump gets rid of water drained from under the floor. Doing this helps to prevent future flooding. Combining this drainage system with the sealer helps keep the basement dry.
Thanks for creating this blog. I thought it was a very interesting read. It is so interesting reading other peoples personal take on a subject….
