Basement Waterproofing in Atlanta

waterproofing_atlantaBasement waterproofing is extremely important in Atlanta homes. As any waterproofing contractor will tell you, there are few things more destructive to a home than the presence of water.  A flooded basement is more than just a big mess, it also can destroy or permanently damage irreplaceable items in storage, ruin a furnished room, and lead to the growth of potentially dangerous mold. The good news is that the waterproofing contractors at Engineered Solutions of Georgia offer homeowners in the Atlanta area a number of effective waterproofing services before water infiltrates their basement.

Waterproofing can be a tricky affair because even the smallest crack or hole can lead to a damp basement. The first step to avoiding a flooded basement is to keep your gutters clean. Pine straw, leaves and other yard waste can leave your gutters clogged, causing rain water to overflow and collect at the home’s foundation. Home owners might consider rerouting their down spout or installing a rain barrel to further ensure that rain water is being directed away from the home.

In the basement, it’s a good idea to closely inspect your walls, the ceiling and the windows to look for any cracks or damage that might allow water to enter.  Small holes and hairline cracks can usually be repaired with caulk – at least in the short-term. However, it is usually a good idea to have a trained waterproofing contractor inspect any obvious damage in the basement or foundation to ensure that further repairs aren’t required.  Small damage can develop into large problems over time, so you don’t want to risk a flooded basement.
