Basement
Waterproofing Products
Basement
waterproofing products
have come a long way in the past few years, to help
in the fight against wet basements. Between crack
injections, sump pumps, french drains, etc, there is
a solution for most of you so that your basements can
be waterproofed and dry for years to come.
Many
contractors that specialize in the waterproofing
of homes, usually also offer a lifetime guarantee to
the part of the home that was waterproofed. The
guarantee usually does not include the sump pumps however,
the pumps normally have a limited one year warranty.
Wet
basements can be dealt with by purchasing and
installing sump pumps into the lowest part of the home,
or in the area where water is a problem. Sump
pumps are made in different ways as well, so you have
a choice on how much protection you want waterproofing
your wet basement. I will list the different choices
that can be found for sump pumps.
- Sump
pump
- Ultrasump
Backup Sump Pump – this pump has
a primary sump pump, but if that fails to operate
and work, the ultra sump will run automatically.
- Triple
Safe Sump Pump System – This system
has 3 pumps to give you complete protection.
If the first pump fails, the second pump will take
over. In the event the first pump cannot keep
up with the water flow into it, the second pump
will switch on and the first and second pump will
run simultaneously, to filtrate the water away from
the foundation. In case the power goes out
in your home, the Ultra Sump battery backup pump
takes over and starts to work automatically.
Basement
foundations
that have minor cracks can be sealed using a crack injection
technique to remedy the problem. Crack injections
come in a couple different substances to be used, depending
on what you need to seal up the crack. Your choices
are:
-
Polyurethane
injections
Polyurethane
is flexible. It will form a barrier that water
cannot penetrate, but does not add any structural
strength when it is applied and used to seal the crack.
Epoxy
injections can add strength to your foundation, as
well as stopping water from seeping in through the
cracks.
Waterproofed
paneling is also an option for waterproofing
a basement, that also improves the appearance
of the basement as well. BriteWall is a remedy
for foundations where the water is seeping in though
the walls, making the walls damp and musty.
