WATERPROOFING BASEMENTS SINCE 1995
In Milton, Direct Waterproofing successfully completed an exterior waterproofing project for a client whose basement had been consistently damp, causing mold growth and structural concerns. After a thorough inspection, we determined that water was seeping into the basement through cracks in the foundation and poor drainage around the property.
A homeowner in Milton reached out to Direct Waterproofing due to ongoing moisture issues in their basement, which was causing mold growth and structural concerns. We provided a complete exterior waterproofing solution to resolve the problem.
1. Initial Inspection:
Our team inspected the exterior of the foundation, identifying cracks and areas where water was seeping into the basement. We also noted poor surface drainage around the home.
2. Excavation:
We excavated the perimeter of the home down to the foundation footings, exposing the walls to address the water entry points.
3. Foundation Crack Repair:
We repaired all foundation cracks using a combination of epoxy and polyurethane injections, ensuring that water would no longer seep through.
4. Waterproof Membrane Application:
We applied a tough, waterproof membrane to the exterior of the foundation, creating a protective layer that blocks moisture from entering the basement.
5. Weeping Tile Installation:
To improve drainage around the property, we installed new weeping tiles at the base of the foundation, ensuring water would be redirected away from the house.
6. Backfilling and Grading:
After waterproofing, we backfilled the excavation and re-graded the landscape to slope water away from the foundation, further preventing future water problems.
The basement is now completely dry, and the homeowner no longer faces issues with moisture or mold growth. The new drainage system and waterproof membrane ensure long-lasting protection.
The homeowner noticed immediate improvements in the dryness and comfort of their basement following the project’s completion. This successful exterior waterproofing project in Milton showcases our ability to provide tailored solutions that protect homes from the damaging effects of water ingress, ensuring a healthy living environment.
