Basement Sealer

Basement sealer is not a true solution to waterproofing a basement. While the idea sounds like it would work here is why it doesn’t. You are only sealing the interior of the basement walls. You are not creating a solution for actually removing the water. You are simply trapping it inside your walls. Eventually this water will seek another way into your basement and in the meantime will be destroying your foundation walls from the inside out.

Basement sealant cannot truly stop water. Water can only be managed. A basement sealer does nothing to manage the water, it attempts to stop it. So, to save yourself time, frustration, money and damage to your home’s foundation, stay away from basement sealers.

An alternative to wet basement sealer is an interior drain tile system working with a sump pump. Drain tile is a trench dug into your basement floor close to the wall that collects the water entering the basement. From there, the water travels to a sump basin where it is removed from the basement by a sump pump. It is important to note that the discharge for the sump pump must be an adequate distance from your home so that you are not repeatedly removing the same water over and over.

In summary, to remedy your basement water issues, it is best to contact an experienced waterproofing company to help manage your water problem. A drain tile system is not something you should tackle yourself, because if constructed improperly, you can cause structural damage. This is a project for a qualified professional.
